Resumo: The increase in life expectancy of the Brazilian population has allowed people to achieve greater longevity. This fact does not necessarily imply a healthy old age, since at this stage of life the presence of non-communicable chronic diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, is quite common. Physiotherapy is an important tool in improving the quality of life and in the functional and motor reestablishment of Alzheimer's patients, with the objective of delaying the progress of the disease, preserving motor functionality as close to normal as possible, working with a multidisciplinary team, guiding family members and caregivers of dementia patients. The aim of the present study was to specify the most used physical therapy interventions during the rehabilitation of patients with Alzheimer's Disease and to describe how physical therapy interventions contribute to the improvement and maintenance of the patients' functional performance. This is a descriptive and qualitative bibliographic research. Searches were performed using the Virtual Health Library (BVS), PEDro and PUBMED databases and the descriptors used were: Alzheimer, Physiotherapy, Alzheimer's Dementia, Rehabilitation, Physioteraphy. Seven scientific articles were selected for analysis and discussion of the results that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria for the research. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that exercise-based therapy is effective in non-pharmacological treatments for patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease.

Este hecho no implica necesariamente una vejez saludable, ya que en esta etapa de la vida es bastante común la presencia de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, incluida la enfermedad de Alzheimer. La fisioterapia es una herramienta importante en la mejora de la calidad de vida y en el restablecimiento funcional y motor de los pacientes con Alzheimer, con el objetivo de retrasar el avance de la enfermedad, preservando la funcionalidad motora lo más cercana a la normalidad, trabajando con un equipo multidisciplinar, orientando familiares y cuidadores de pacientes con demencia. El objetivo del presente estudio fue especificar las intervenciones de fisioterapia más utilizadas durante la rehabilitación de pacientes con enfermedad de Alzheimer y describir cómo las intervenciones de fisioterapia contribuyen a la mejora y mantenimiento del rendimiento funcional de los pacientes. Se trata de una investigación bibliográfica descriptiva y cualitativa. Las búsquedas se realizaron en la Biblioteca Virtual en Salud (BVS), las bases de datos PEDro y PUBMED y los descriptores utilizados fueron: Alzheimer, Fisioterapia, Alzheimer Demencia, Rehabilitación, Fisioterafía. Se seleccionaron siete artículos científicos para el análisis y discusión de los resultados que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión y exclusión de la investigación. De los resultados obtenidos se puede concluir que la terapia basada en ejercicio es eficaz en tratamientos no farmacológicos para pacientes diagnosticados de Alzheimer.O aumento da expectativa da população brasileira tem permitido que as pessoas alcancem uma longevidade maior. Este fato não implica necessariamente em uma velhice saudável, já que nessa fase da vida torna-se bastante comum a presença das doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, dentre elas a Doença de Alzheimer. A fisioterapia é uma ferramenta importante na melhora da qualidade de vida e no reestabelecimento funcional e motor dos portadores de Alzheimer, com o objetivo de retardar o avanço da doença, preservando a funcionalidade motora o mais próximo do normal, atuando com uma equipe multidisciplinar, orientando aos familiares e cuidadores do portador da demência. O objetivo do presente estudo foi especificar as intervenções fisioterapêuticas mais utilizadas durante a reabilitação de pacientes portadores de Doença de Alzheimer e descrever como as intervenções fisioterapêuticas contribuem para a melhoria e manutenção do desempenho funcional dos pacientes. Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica descritiva e de caráter qualitativo. As buscas foram realizadas pelas bases de dados Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), PEDro e PUBMED e os descritores utilizados foram: Alzheimer, Fisioterapia, Dementia de Alzheimer, Rehabilitation, Physioteraphy. Foram selecionados 7 artigos científicos para análise e discussão dos resultados que obedeceram aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão da pesquisa. A partir dos resultados obtidos, conclui-se que a terapia baseada em exercícios físicos é eficaz nos tratamentos não farmacológicos para pacientes diagnosticados com Doença de Alzheimer.Research, Society and Development2021-08-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1813910.33448/rsd-v10i10.18139Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 10; e83101018139Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 10; e83101018139Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 10; e831010181392525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/18139/16610Copyright (c) 2021 Adelina Auxiliadora da Silva Machado; Marli do Carmo Cupertino; Andrés Valente Chiapeta; Emília Pio da Silvahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMachado, Adelina Auxiliadora da Silva Cupertino, Marli do Carmo Chiapeta, Andrés Valente Silva, Emília Pio da 2021-10-02T21:49:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/18139Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:38:19.880528Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
