Interventions

  • Digital respiratory intervention program — OTHER
    A 4 times a week for a period of 5 weeks will be done, for a duration of 55-60 minutes (20 sessions), with an intensity adapted to the characteristics of each participant. Moreover, an intervention program will be used based on respiratory muscle training exercises, upper limb strength work, yoga, diaphragmatic awareness exercises, always trying to do them through the use of games, and even try to include exercises that use motor imagery. The intervention program is carried out and stimulated through videos and therapeutic teaching to the caregivers in the first evaluation session, as well as as well as with a weekly follow-up using WhatsApp or Zoom as forms of communication, or a telephone call to ensure correct follow-up of the intervention program. Moreover, YouTube videos, own videos prepared by the physiotherapy will be used to help optimally resolve doubts that arise when carrying out the program by video call.
