Abstract

When we talk about aging we must take into account not only chronological age, but also a complex and dynamic process of biological, psychological and social changes. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is highlighted in this study, as it is one of the most common and one of the leading causes of worldwide mortality in the elderly. Thus, the importance of psychomotricity in this case, since it acts on the awareness and regulation of the physiological and psychological systems, facilitating the learning process (according to the principles of learning theory and cognitive behavioral). In addition, it is also proposed the use of support technology based on the therapeutic strategies of the biofeedback system. Therefore, through the application of the goals proposed by the psychomotricity and use of the technology associated with biofeedback, the individual with COPD becomes capable of controlling the symptoms associated with the disease, and consequently acquiring more autonomy in the daily life (essential to promote their quality of life).
