Resumen

Introducción: El síndrome de fragilidad se caracteriza por la reducción de las reservas físicas y cognitivas, lo que hace que las personas mayores sean vulnerables a eventos adversos. Este estudio describe un prototipo de sistema sensor desarrollado para evaluar la fragilidad a través de parámetros fisiológicos y marcadores de fragilidad. Métodos: Se desarrolló y probó un prototipo que combinaba cuatro sensores en red y un paquete de software en cuatro residentes de la tercera edad de ambos sexos, de 60 años o más, que no presentaban síndrome locomotor ni deterioro cognitivo severo. Tres de ellos eran frágiles y podían caminar sin ayuda (P1), apoyándose en la pared (P2) o con un bastón (P3), y un participante no frágil (P4) caminaba sin ayuda. Resultados: En cuanto a la aceleración media, P1 y P4 presentaron los valores más bajos y más altos, respectivamente, en el eje anteroposterior; P4 tuvo el valor más bajo en el eje medio-lateral; y P3 presentó el mayor valor en el eje vertical. Todos los participantes mostraron una velocidad angular de balanceo similar; P4 presentó la menor velocidad angular de cabeceo; y P1 y P4 tenían la velocidad angular media de guiñada más alta. Un participante sarcopénico (P2) exhibió la menor fuerza de contracción muscular. Conclusión: El dispositivo tiene potencial para detectar marcadores de fragilidad para resultados adversos en personas mayores, como inestabilidad postural y mayor riesgo de caídas.
