El presente artículo muestra el desarrollo e implementación de un sistema de telerehabilitación funcional empleando entornos virtuales interactivos y tecnologías biomédicas en pacientes con secuelas de parálisis cerebral con limitación en los movimientos de las extremidades superiores e inferiores. El sistema facilita la intervención terapéutica empleando la telerehabilitación a través de videojuegos con interfaz de adquisición de movimientos. La plataforma se desarrolló en un lenguaje de programación de fácil configuración, de tal forma que los terapeutas puedan cambiar y ajustar los retos de cada intervención terapéutica de forma interactiva, amigable y divertida, acorde al progreso y motivando al paciente a continuar con su evolución. Los resultados muestran mejora en niños con parálisis cerebral, con limitaciones en movimiento a nivel de miembros superiores o inferiores.
Introduction:In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of cases of women and men suffering from a sexually transmitted disease.Objective:The objective of this study was to implement an educational intervention on the human papillomavirus (HPV) to increase knowledge about the disease among university students.Materials and Methods:In a preexperimental study with 385 students of both genders, the strategy was designed under the parameters of the PAHO and the Theory of Beliefs in Health. The problem was identified through biological samples of the genitals, and the impact was measured through a questionnaire. The presence of HPV DNA was made with molecular polymerase chain reaction tests; and the answers, through coefficients of variation.Results:Of the participants, 60 were positive: 49 women and 11 men. At the beginning of the application, the knowledge level was medium, between 9.0 and 9.6. After the application, it was between 12.5 and 13, being the level of knowledge average, but very close to the threshold of high.Conclusions:With the results of the tests, it was found that HPV is a real problem among university students. The level of knowledge remained medium, despite the educational intervention.
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.
