title: Repeatability and reproducibility of a home physical exercise manual

description: ABSTRACT The reproducibility and repeatability of a manual of home physical exercises at different levels of schooling in elderly women with breast cancer was investigated. Methods: A cross-sectional study carried out between August and November, 2016 at the Instituto de Medicina Integral Prof. Fernando Figueira (IMIP), in the metropolitan area of Recife, Pernambuco. Twenty-two elderly women (aged 66.2±3.5 years) diagnosed with breast cancer using hormone therapy received an instructional manual composed of 12 exercises, to be performed independently and at home to improve physical fitness. The manual was delivered at the first consultation and after six weeks its reproducibility was checked by a physical education professional and a physiotherapist who assessed the “right” or “wrong” execution of the movements. Results: The results were analyzed by Cohen’s kappa coefficient (k). There was an “almost perfect” inter-rater relationship (higher than 0.88) across all 12 exercises. As regards the “right” execution of movements, six exercises presented inter-rater agreement with variation between 68.2% and 90.9%; on the other hand, as regards the “wrong” execution, the variation was between 54.4% and 68.2%. In addition, two exercises resulted in 50% for “right” and “wrong”. Regarding schooling, only exercise 6 had statistical significance (p-value=0.03). Conclusions: The manual of home physical exercises seems to be reproducible in elderly women with breast cancer at all levels of schooling, to improve physical fitness and promote functional self-care.

title: Trunk control and its relation with clinical condition, central anatomic area and post-cerebrovascular accident phase

description: ABSTRACT The objective of the study was to characterize cerebrovascular accident patients, correlating the findings of the Trunk Impairment Scale (TIS) with the location of the lesion, age, clinical condition and stage of evolution. 78 patients were evaluated through TIS and the characterization, with analysis of the following data: type of stroke, stage of the disease; clinical condition; compromised brain area; sex and risk factors. The results show that there was no relation between the TIS score and the other variables. These findings lead us to conclude that trunk control may be something very particular, therefore, requiring a specific evaluation in cases of stroke, and the TIS may be a possible instrument for such purpose. The characterization variables tested were not determinants of typical patterns of postural control.

title: Comparison of the neurological deficit severity in patients with acute ischemic stroke submitted or not to thrombolytic therapy

description: Abstract The stroke is responsible for high mortality rates and functional dependency in adults. The early intravenous thrombolytic therapy has been associated with a better functional prognosis. This study aimed to compare the neurological deficit severity in patients receiving or not thrombolytic therapy after stroke. Fifty-six patients were evaluated: eighteen who received thrombolytic therapy (TG group) and thirty-eight who did not receive it (NTG group). Individuals were assessed at the hospital admission and discharge (HD) regarding the severity of the deficit by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The sample average age was 65.9±11.4 years. GT patients showed significant improvement in NIHSS score between the admission and HD (p=0.004), as well as at the time of HD they showed less severe neurological deficit when compared with NTG group (p=0.028). The incidence of deficit varying from moderate to severe was lower in the TG (p&lt;0.005), and 26.7% of patients did not show deficit at the DH. The patients receiving thrombolytic therapy showed better recovery of neurological deficits evaluated by NIHSS when compared with the group that did not receive thrombolytic therapy.

title: The impact of stroke on the quality of life of children and adolescents

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of children/adolescents with a diagnosis of stroke (CVA) in the eyes of the person responsible and the children / adolescents themselves compared to a control group. 78 subjects were divided into: Group of children / adolescents who had a history of stroke (GAVC, n = 39) and a group of healthy children/adolescents as Control (CG, n = 39) matched by gender and age. A semi-structured interview was used to describe the sociodemographic aspects and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM 4.0) to evaluate the QoL of the subjects in their development. The median age of the diagnosis of stroke was 7 months, with the majority presenting ischemic stroke (71.8%) and hemiparesis.According to those responsible for the GAVC, the Functional Capacity of their children was significantly different, presenting inferiority in relation to the CG. Also, for those in charge, the father’s educational variable maintained a significant positive effect on the emotional aspects of the child, and the variable age of the child /adolescent and stroke time&gt; 29 days of life had a negative effect on the school aspects. As for the children / adolescents, the variable age that entered school and gender had a significant negative effect on the outcome of school aspects in relation to the CG. We conclude that the view of those responsible differs from the child/adolescent’s view of their functional capacity; the father’s schooling positively influenced the emotional aspects of the child and the children feel a loss in school performance, especially the boys.

title: Injury profile in CrossFit practitioners: systematic review

description: ABSTRACT CrossFit is a new form of physical training that has become popular since its inception. This study aimed to analyze the injury profile of CrossFit practitioners through a systematic review. PRISMA recommendations were applied to this systematic review. Electronic search was performed in the databases CINAHL, SciELO, Science Direct, SCOPUS, LILACS, PEDro, PubMed, SPORTDiscus and Web of Science. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed. Ten studies were selected. The prevalence of injuries in CrossFit practitioners ranged from 5 to 73.5%, and the overall injury incidence rate per 1000 training hours ranged from 1.94 to 3.1 injuries. The body region most affected by injuries was the shoulders, followed by the back and the knees. Regarding associated factors, the type of exercise performed and CrossFit training time were related to injuries. Besides that, sex was associated to the prevalence of injuries, with men showing more injuries than women. Age was not related to injury prevalence. It was concluded that the most commonly affected body region among CrossFit practitioners was the shoulders, predominantly in males and with previous injuries, often obtained in other modalities. In addition, CrossFit can be safely practiced by individuals aged 18-69.

title: Analysis of expiratory muscle strength and spontaneous breathing of individuals on mechanical ventilation: a cross-sectional study

description: ABSTRACT The expiratory muscles have functions throughout the respiratory cycle, but they are not often evaluated in the weaning from mechanical ventilation. Thus, reviews and consensus do not mention the maximal expiratory pressure (MEP) and the expiratory training. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of expiratory muscle strength with the spontaneous breathing of individuals on mechanical ventilation. This is a cross-sectional study with participants aged between 18 and 79 years. The groups satisfactory MEP (SMEPG) and low MEP (LMEPG) were formed according to the cut-off point of 55 cmH2O and compared to weaning parameters. The SMEPG (n=9) had better performance than LMEPG (n=21) in the rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) (40.6±17.6 bpm/L and 75.3±44.1 bpm/L, respectively; p=0.022) and in the respiratory rate (RR) (19.1±6.2 bpm and 26.1±9.4 bpm; p=0.044). Prevalence of satisfactory MEP was low, as observed in the size of groups. In addition, although the MEP percentage of the predicted value was lower in LMEPG, as expected (67.2±15.4% vs. 45.8±14.7%; p=0.001), the percentage for maximal inspiratory pressure was not significantly different (82.4±21.8% vs. 67.8±18.4%; p=0.077). The MEP was moderately correlated with the RSBI (r=−0.406; p=0.026) and with the RR (r=−0.426; p=0.017). It was concluded that MEP≥55 cmH2O was associated with better values in RSBI and RR and that the reduction of expiratory muscle strength was more prevalent and severe than that of inspiratory muscle strength.

title: Risk of sarcopenia in community-dwelling older women with complaint of acute low back pain

description: ABSTRACT The risk of sarcopenia was verified in community-dwelling older women with complaints of acute low back pain. The pain index and mobility/balance were compared between patients at risk of sarcopenia and the non-sarcopenic ones. This is a cross-sectional research, subproject of the epidemiological and multicenter study Back Complaints in the Elders (BACE). patients were older women with at least one episode of acute low back pain within six weeks prior to data collection. We evaluated the walking speed (4.6 m), grip strength (Jamar dynamometer), pain index (analog pain scale) and mobility/balance (Timed Up and Go test). Risk of sarcopenia was estimated by percentage measure and comparisons by the Independent Samples t Test. A significance level of 5% was adopted. A total of 322 older women participated in this study. The risk of sarcopenia was 54%, i.e., 173 patients (71.8±5.2 years) were at risk of sarcopenia and 149 (46%) were non-sarcopenic (71.5±5.1 years). There was difference for the pain intensity (p=0.02) and the mobility/balance (p=0.01), given that the ones at risk of sarcopenia were in worse conditions. The results showed risk of sarcopenia among older women with acute low back pain. The latter showed higher pain index and worse mobility/balance, suggesting that sarcopenia, if present in older women with this pain, can influence negatively the functionality.

title: Identification of equipment and procedures used by Brazilian physical therapists for inspiratory muscle endurance tests

description: ABSTRACT The assessment of inspiratory muscles through the inspiratory muscle endurance test (IME), defined as the ability to support this task over time, currently presents wide range of instruments and procedures for its measurement. This study aimed to identify the different equipment, procedures and assessments of IME tests among Brazilian physical therapists. It is a cross-sectional study carried out through a questionnaire sent individually by electronic mail to each participant. One hundred and thirteen physical therapists from different regions of the country, many practicing in the clinic and in the teaching field (52.1%), said they measured IME a few times (48.7%). The aneroid manovacuometer was used by 42.5% of the professionals. The nose clip and the hard plastic or paper tubular incentive spirometer were the most used accessories during the test, corresponding to 51.8% and 33%, respectively. The maximum voluntary ventilation test was used to assess the inspiratory endurance, reported by 23% of the respondents. The constant load test for endurance assessment was adopted by 51.2% of the physical therapists, and 54.9% associated verbal commands with the demonstration for the test application. The interpretation of the measured values was made with reference values by 25.7% of respondents. We identified that Brazilian physical therapists interviewed did not show the same conduct for IME tests. However, the equipment, procedures and assessment form are used based on the guidelines on the subject and according to the availability of resources of the service.
