Background There is scarce evidence on changes at the functional level associated with the respiratory area in women. This study aims to analyse the relationship between inspiratory muscle strength and balance in women. Material and methods In this cross-sectional observational study, the sample consisted of groups according to the results obtained in the balance test. Inspiratory muscle weakness was defined as maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) ≤ 80% of the predictive value. MIP was carried out using through a mouthpiece, with an electronic manometer. Logistic regression model was used to examine if MIP predicts balance. Results 159 women participated in the study. Approximately 20% of them achieved balance ≤ 2 seconds and 18% presented MIP≤80%. MIP was associated with the time achieved in the one-leg support test. Subjects with MIP ≤ 80% of the predictive value show 3 times more risk of having a lower performance in the balance test (OR = 3.26). Conclusions Inspiratory muscle weakness is associated with deficient balance in this sample. It shows the need for multidimensional assessment and rehabilitation strategies for patients identified as having MIP weakness and/or balance disorders.
La educación inclusiva, piedra angular de una educación transformadora, favorece el aprendizaje y participación de estudiantes con necesidades especiales. Al analizar las prácticas entre una educadora diferencial y una profesora de aula regular, se identifica una escasa colaboración en la co-enseñanza y desvalorización del rol. Se plantea como objetivo fortalecer la dimensión de planificación para el robustecimiento del rol de la educadora diferencial. La investigación se orientó desde un enfoque cualitativo y un diseño de investigación acción, a partir de la cual se creó una agenda de co-enseñanza para robustecer la dimensión de la planificación. Participaron una profesora de educación diferencial y una profesora de aula regular de nivel básico. Los resultados muestran logros en todas las dimensiones de la co-enseñanza. El trabajo con la agenda aportó a la organización, la colaboración y la valorización del rol de la profesora de educación diferencial. Se concluye que la agenda Co-plan, es una herramienta valiosa para facilitar la colaboración profesional y permite transitar desde un rol desdibujado de la educadora diferencial a una valorización profesional.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
