title: Intra- and inter-rater reliability of the Individual Lifestyle Profile (ILP) questionnaire for individuals with musculoskeletal pain

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to test all the reliability properties of the Individual Lifestyle Profile (ILP) in patients with musculoskeletal pain. A total of 105 patients with musculoskeletal pain participated in this study after being recruited from a public secondary physical therapy care. ILP was applied by Rater 1 at the initial assessment and by Rater 2 after one hour. After three to seven days of the initial assessment, Rater 1 reapplied ILP. ILP and its components showed internal consistency from 0.27 to 0.61 and intra- and inter-rater reliability values from moderate to excellent (ICC=0.68 to 0.90) and from moderate to almost perfect (K=0.59 to 0.83). Percent agreement was 61% to 98%, the SEM of ILP was 4.1 points and the MDC was 5.7 points. We conclude that ILP is a reliable instrument to assess the lifestyle of patients with musculoskeletal pain.

title: Chronic spinal problem/back pain in quilombola populations of Bahia, Northeast of Brazil

description: ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of chronic spinal problems or back pain (CSP/BP) and the sociodemographic factors, the lifestyle, the chronic diseases associated with quilombola adults. We carried out a population, sectional, epidemiological study with a representative sample from a Northeastern state. We collected data by interviewing participants using a standardized form. Statistical analysis comprised robust Poisson regression, prevalence ratios, confidence interval (95%), and significance level lower than 5%. The prevalence of CSP/BP was of 50.5% (95% CI: 47.1: 53.9), independently associated with age, sleep quality, self-reported health, motor disabilities, and work-related musculoskeletal disorders. We observed higher exposure to CSP/BP among quilombolas aged &gt;40 years, with poor sleep quality and poor self-reported health diagnosed with work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) and motor disabilities.

title: Musculoskeletal shoulder complaints: characteristics of patients and consultations in primary care

description: ABSTRACT Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal complaint of the world population. It affects the physical, psychological and financial situation of the individual. Primary care is essential to an effective health care for affected patients. This cross-sectional and observational study has the purpose of characterizing the profile of users of the primary health care service, and analyzing the medical records with shoulder pain reports over an one-year period in the primary care service of Ribeirão Preto - SP. Medical records of patients with scheduled and unscheduled medical consultations were analyzed. Data from patients with musculoskeletal shoulder pain - sociodemographic data and the consultation characteristics - were collected and analyzed descriptively and by Pearson’s Chi-squared test, Odds Ratio and Multiple Logistic Regression. The frequency of shoulder pain in the primary care was 9.2%. The profile of individuals who complained about shoulder pain was advanced age, married, literate and working women. Most consultations had scheduled follow-up consultations, therapeutic guidance and few referrals.

title: Health professionals working in a hospital environment have a high prevalence of fatigue and back pain: a cross-sectional study

description: ABSTRACT This study’s objective was to employ Regulation-17 (NR-17) of Brazil’s Ministry of Labor to describe the work environment of health professionals of a public hospital, while also evaluating fatigue and estimating their risk of exposure to it, as well as the presence of musculoskeletal discomfort. This was a cross-sectional study consisting of two phases: 1) Observation of the work environment by means of the NR-17, adapted as a checklist; 2) Evaluation of discomfort and fatigue by means of questionnaires. Data were analyzed descriptively. The association between fatigue and discomfort was assessed using the chi-square test, while the Mann-Whitney test was used to compare age, service time at the institution and weekly working hours across the stratified groups (with fatigue/without fatigue, with discomfort/without discomfort). Twenty sectors were evaluated. The sector with the highest frequency of inadequacy was Pharmacy (83% inadequate items), while the Adult ICU was the most adequate (only 24% inadequate items). There was a high prevalence of discomfort, especially in the spine. Fatigue was present in more than 70% of professionals. Older individuals presented more complaints of discomfort. This study demonstrates a high frequency of ergonomic inadequacies in the hospital’s work environment, mainly in the Pharmacy and Ambulatory sectors. The high prevalence of spine discomfort and fatigue emphasizes the relevance of preventive actions in the hospital environment.

title: Cycle ergometer in the improvement of gross motor function ofchildren with cerebral palsy: a systematic review withmeta-analysis

description: ABSTRACT Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological disorders that causes innumerable deficits, mainly related to motor function, compromising movements and their selective control. Among the various therapies available to try to soften this process, the cycle ergometer appears as a stationary apparatus that aims to facilitate the movement of the lower limbs. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effects of the cycle ergometer on the gross motor function of children with cerebral palsy by the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM-66) scale. This was a systematic review, with inclusion of randomized clinical trials published until July 2017. The search was performed in MEDLINE (PubMed), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro), SciELO, and Embase. The Cochrane Handbook Scale was used to evaluate the methodological quality of the investigations. We selected articles that applied the cycle ergometer in children with cerebral palsy, compared to children with cerebral palsy in the control group or other intervention, and that assessed gross motor function with GMFM. The review included three articles and a total of 127 patients. The results have shown a not statistically significant increase in GMFM-66 values, not relevant for clinical improvement. This systematic review has found great heterogeneity in the studies addressing this area and, despite the increase in values in the group that used the cycle ergometer, there was no statistical difference compared to the control group, showing that it does not benefit the gross motor function of this population, when evaluated by GMFM-66.

title: Functional evaluation of the movement: incidence of dynamic knee valgus in bodybuilders and sedentary women

description: ABSTRACT Movement evaluation is important and necessary to identify the risks of injury, enabling the elaboration of preventive and corrective exercise programs, aiming to improve the performance of functional activities and consequent well-being. This study aimed to analyze and compare the incidence of dynamic knee valgus in bodybuilders and sedentary women, as well as to identify the pain symptoms and the potential for injury associated with this biomechanical change. Sixty women were divided into two groups: bodybuilders and sedentary, aged 18 to 30. Data collection consisted of Functional Movement Screen (FMS) and the data were subjected to descriptive and inferential analysis. A total of 60% of sedentary women had dynamic knee valgus, with a predominance of bodybuilders (33.3%), showing an association between dynamic valgus and sedentary lifestyle (p&lt;0.03). There was no association between pain and dynamic knee valgus (p&gt;0.06) for both groups. 50.0% women and sedentary had a FMS score below six points, representing a high risk of injury. It is concluded that sedentary women are more predisposed to dynamic knee valgus, as well as greater pain symptomatology and greater risk of lower limbs injury.

title: Effects of mental practice associated with motor physical therapy on gait and risk of falls in Parkinson’s disease: a pilot study

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this pilot study, carried out in a university hospital of reference in Pernambuco, was to assess the effects of mental practice associated with motor physical therapy on gait and the risk of falls in people with Parkinson’s disease. The study sample consisted of 18 subjects, of both sexes, with idiopathic Parkinson’s disease, divided into experimental group (8 individuals) and control group (10 individuals). Both groups performed fifteen 40-minute sessions of motor physical therapy twice a week. In the intervention group, physical therapy was associated with mental practice (15 minutes). Regarding the primary outcome variables, the duration of the timed up and go test and of the 10-meter walking test reduced, but the difference was not significant. Speed, cadence and dynamic gait index increased after the intervention in the experimental group, with a significant difference (p=0.02). The number of steps was maintained in both groups. The results suggest that the mental practice associated with motor physical therapy reduces the risk of falls compared with applied motor physical therapy alone.

title: Comparison of oxybutynin, electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve and perineal exercises in the treatment of overactive bladder syndrome

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of perineal exercises, transcutaneous electrostimulation of the posterior tibial nerve (TPTNS) and oxybutynin in women with overactive bladder syndrome, which is the second most common cause of urinary incontinence, with extremely uncomfortable urinary symptoms which impair their quality of life. A total of 65 women were randomized, of whom 57 completed treatment. Three groups were formed: the perineal exercises group, the TPTNS group and the control group, which used oxybutynin. The exercises were performed in groups, in the standing, supine and sitting positions, twice a week in 30-minute sessions, totaling 12 sessions. In the TPTNS group, carried out with 10Hz frequency and 200 microsecond pulse width, a transcutaneous electrode was positioned on the patients’ medial malleolus, and another was positioned 10cm above it. The patients of the control group received 10 mg/day doses of immediate release oxybutynin, divided into two 5mg/day doses for 12 consecutive weeks. Before and after the treatments, the patients’ voiding diary was analyzed, their pelvic floor was functionally evaluated and they were asked to fill in an OAB-V8 quality of life questionnaire. Urge incontinence was reduced by 50%, 70.5% and 41% in the exercises, TPTNS and oxybutynin groups, respectively, and statistical significance was detected for stimulation only. The three treatment modalities were effective for improving quality of life in the short-term therapy, and were statistically similar to each other.
