Desarrollo de una guía evaluativa para el análisis técnico y funcional de una rampa multisensorial interactiva infantil: caso de estudio IPCA

Abstract

Cerebral palsy is one of the leading causes of motor disability in childhood, affecting mobility, coordination, and sensory development. In response to this reality, this study proposes the design of an evaluation guide to analyze and validate an interactive multisensory ramp delivered to the Cerebral Palsy Institute of Azuay (IPCA), within the framework of the Innovative Health project developed by the Salesian Polytechnic University, the University of Cuenca, and the IPCA. The guide allows for the assessment of the device's relevance, quality, and usability during physical therapy sessions, promoting tactile, visual, and auditory stimulation. The study adopts a descriptive methodological approach, based on a review of regulations on assistive technology and feedback from specialists in pediatric rehabilitation, with the aim of contributing to continuous improvement and promoting the inclusion of children with cerebral palsy.
