title: Physiotherapeutic approach for urinary incontinence in older adults in primary health care

description: ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the benefits of the physiotherapeutic approach to urinary incontinence (UI) in the older population in a health center of Belém (PA). This is a proposal for strengthening pelvic floor muscles (PFM) in ten weekly meetings with progressive activities. Patients of both genders were included, and individuals with cognitive impairment, hemodynamic instability and immobility were excluded, as well as those with less than 50% participation in the meetings. Sociodemographic and clinical data were evaluated and quality of life (QoL) was analyzed through the King’s Health Questionnaire (KHQ), which was reapplied at the end of the meetings. The initial sample consisted of ten older adults, aged 70.3±5.01 years, 80% female; 80% of the sample reported previous pelvic surgeries, three reported prolapses, of which two were in the bladder. The KHQ domains with higher scores and consequent worse QoL were the impact of UI (54.1±24.8), health perception (43.7±11.5), and severity measures (31.2±23.8). There was statistical significance in several domains of QoL of the patients undergoing the physiotherapeutic approach, demonstrating that even in a lower level of health care it is possible to have relevant effects on the UI and QoL of this public.

title: Health assessment instruments in Portuguese version and its comprehensiveness with ICF framework: a systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Clinical practice has been subsidized by instruments that record and allow access to information on functionality and health of individuals. One way to approach the content of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) is to use it as a reference to aid the professional in choosing the most appropriate instrument to access biopsychosocial information. We intend to identify health assessment instruments that had their content linked to the contents of the ICF and the presence of the Portuguese version of them. A systematic review was conducted of the SciELO Brazil, Lilacs and PubMed databases with the descriptors “ICF”, “questionnaire” and “linking rules” in Portuguese and English. Three independent researchers performed the papers’ selection, and the level of agreement was obtained by the kappa coefficient. The eligibility criteria were primary studies for questionnaires, scales, indices and checklists content linking to ICF published after 2001 in Portuguese or English. A total of 61 articles were included, of which 19 were of Brazilian origin. Given the totality of 250 instruments with ICF-related content, 158 (63.2%) presented a Portuguese-language version; just two of the 37 most cited works presented a Portuguese version. The Kappa coefficient showed significative agreement between moderate and good. This study provided an overview of the content connection between clinical practice instruments to ICF, identifying which instruments have Portuguese translation and its potential for strengthening the biopsychosocial approach.

title: Upper limb function in ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy

description: ABSTRACT New treatments proposed for patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) have their efficacy evaluated by lower limb tests. However, upper limb function tests evaluate both ambulatory (A) and non-ambulatory (NA) people. Thus, this work aimed to compare the upper limb function of patients A and NA with DMD and to correlate disease staging and upper limb function. This is a cross-sectional study in which patients were divided into A and NA according to the Vignos scale. Subsequently, the upper limb function was evaluated by the performance of upper limb (PUL) scale. The independent t-test, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney test, linear regression and Spearman’s correlation test were performed by SPSS, version 22. The research dealt with 51 patients, 20 A and 31 NA. There were differences between the groups reference age (p=0.001), body mass index (BMI) (p=0.016), schooling (p=0.011), Vignos score (p&lt;0.001) and upper limb function (p&lt;0.001). The linear regression analysis showed that whether the patient was A or NA influenced the upper limb function in 18 points on the PUL scale. There was a strong correlation between disease staging and upper limb function (r2=−0.769, p&lt;0.001). The functional condition of the upper limb depends on whether the patient is A or NA, being worse function in NA patients. We concluded that the upper limb function has a strong correlation with the staging of the disease.

title: Physiotherapy undergraduates’ knowledge and expectations of professional practice in primary health care

description: ABSTRACT The consolidation of SUS led to a new concept of health no longer focused on the absence of diseases. The strengthening of actions at the primary level was necessary, therefore the National Policy of Primary Care was created to promote, protect and rehabilitate people’s health. Physiotherapy had to undergo a series of adjustments in order to fit the primary care system and, according to the National Curriculum Guidelines, undergraduate courses should observe the new models of health care. The objective was to assess the knowledge and expectations of Physiotherapy undergraduate students in the Porto Alegre and surrounding cities about the physiotherapist’s role in primary care. The study was descriptive, observational, and cross-sectional. An online survey was conducted with 13 objective and dissertation questions. The chi-square test was used to verify associations and significance was found when p≤0.05. A total of 171 Physiotherapy undergraduate students (90.53% females, aging between 18 and 55 years) agreed to participate. A minority of participants correctly registered four activities to be developed and four places of practice for physiotherapists in primary care. Unspecific terms like “promotion” and “prevention” were used to describe the activities, while “Healthcare Units” was the most frequently cited place. Among our sample, 43.2% stated feeling prepared to act in primary care and 53.25% considered as an option to work in primary care. In conclusion, although participants showed limited knowledge about primary care, they mostly feel satisfied with the knowledge acquired on this topic.

title: Similarity between predicted and obtained oxygen consumption during incremental cardiopulmonary exercise test in healthy men and chronic heart failure patients

description: ABSTRACT Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) is a noninvasive method for assessing physiological changes during physical exercise. Functional capacity has been evaluated using prediction equations. However, this evaluation method may yield different outcomes when applied to a healthy male population and patients with chronic heart failure (HF). This study aimed to compare the estimated and obtained values of oxygen consumption (VO2) during CPX both at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) and at peak exercise for healthy men and HF patients. For that, 56 men were divided into 3 groups: (1) 18 young and healthy (YG) (27±6.01 years); (2) 14 healthy older adults (OG) (61±6.3 years); and (3) 24 chronic HF patients (HFG) (53±13.6 years). CPX in cycle ergometer was administered to all individuals for determining VO2 at the VAT and peak exercise. Then, VO2 was estimated at the two moments using a prediction equation, and estimated values were compared to those obtained. Estimated VO2 was significantly higher than obtained VO2 in OG (16.9±1.8 vs. 13.1±2.1mL/kg/min) and HFG (12±6.9 vs. 8.7±2.5mL/kg/min). We found no difference between estimated and obtained VO2 for the YG (22,6±5,5 vs. 23,1±8,7mL/kg/min). The prediction equation overestimated VO2 values for older adults and HF patients. However, the YG obtained similar values than those estimated.

title: Application of the scale Spinal Alignment and Range of Motion Measure (SAROMM) in children and adults with cerebral palsy in a compartment institution in Porto Alegre (RS)

description: ABSTRACT This study described the profile of institutionalized children and adults with cerebral palsy (CP), as well as their musculoskeletal alterations, spinal alignment and range of motion; and to outline strategies to minimize the advance of already present deformities. This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study. Children and adults with cerebral palsy from a shelter in the city of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul were evaluated (n=28). The Spinal Alignment and Range of Motion Measure (SAROMM) scale was used to assess deformities and the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) was used to classify the functional level. 96% of the subjects were spastic; 42.85% of the total number of participants had motor level V; the greatest deformities found were in the knee, hip and spine, evaluated by the SAROMM Scale, associated with older age and spastic quadriplegia, with clinical diagnosis in the medical record. Subjects over 20 years old had an average score of 68.7 (ranges from 0 to 104) and subjects under 20 years old, their average score was 55.1 points, wherein the lower the value the better the alignment and the less deformities. Subjects with CP of a shelter location had, mostly, bilateral spasticity of the four limbs, their predominant GMFCS level was V and the major deformities found were joint changes in knees, hip and spine. Strategies should be drawn and executed as early as possible to reduce deformities and the SAROMM scale may be a choice to evaluate this audience.

title: Electromyographic analysis of trunk and pelvis muscles during Leg Circle on the mat and with springs on the Cadillac

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to investigate, through EMG, whether it is possible to change the requirement of the stabilizing muscles of the trunk and pelvis, performing the Leg Circle exercise on the mat and with different positions of springs on the Cadillac. Thirteen Pilates instructors practicing for at least six months and without pain performed 10 repetitions of the Leg Circle exercise in three situations: (1) Mat; (2) High springs (HS); (3) Medium springs (MS). EMG data were obtained from the abdominal internal oblique/transverse abdominal (IO/TVA), abdominal external oblique (EO), rectus abdominis (RA), and multifidus (MU) muscles, presented as a percentage of Maximum Voluntary Isometric Contraction (MVIC). Comparisons were carried out using repeated measures ANOVA (α=0.05). All muscles were influenced by the positioning of the spring. On the mat, the greatest activations occurred in the RA and EO muscles, while in the executions performed with springs, the most recruited muscles were IO/TVA (MS) and MU (HS). RA and OE muscles did not show differences between the HS and MS situations. The execution of the Leg Circle exercise on the mat and with springs generates changes in the recruitment of the evaluated muscles. We also observed that, when analyzing the exercise performed on the Cadillac between high and medium springs, there was a difference only for the IO/TVA and MU muscles.

title: Camera angle variation in the range of motion’s assessing by computerized photogrammetry

description: ABSTRACT The computerized photogrammetry has been highlighted as a non-invasive resource for evaluation, with good reproducibility of results, but its application parameters are still lacking standardization. This study compared outcomes of range of motion obtained with photogrammetric assessments from images photographed in different camera inclinations in relation to the object (0°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, and 30°). The images were analyzed with computerized photogrammetry by six raters who assessed the joint range present in the images. The outcomes showed that even with 5° in camera inclination, there was significantly different results between assessments, and the margin of error increased as the camera inclination was intensifying.

title: Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain questionnaire for Brazilian workers with musculoskeletal pain: face and content validity

description: ABSTRACT Our study aimed to perform the face and content validity of Self-Estimated Functional Inability because of Pain (SEFIP) for workers, here called the SEFIP-work questionnaire. This is a questionnaire validity study. Our group previously translated and adapted the original version of the SEFIP, which was developed to investigate musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction to be applied to dancers (SEFIP-dance). However, due to the broad scope of the SEFIP-dance, we made changes and adaptations in the Brazilian Portuguese version of the SEFIP-dance to allow its use in workers. Therefore, face and content validity were performed for the development of the SEFIP-work based on opinions of committee of occupational disease and rehabilitation experts. After face and content validity, this SEFIP-work version was applied to 30 working individuals with musculoskeletal pain. The participants were native Brazilian Portuguese speakers aged 18 years and older. Thus, three changes were made to the questionnaire. All participants understood the SEFIP-work items and alternatives. The average total SEFIP-work score was 6.59 (SD=3.66), with the item “parte inferior das costas” (lower back) being the most marked (n=28; 93.33%), with an average score of 1.18 (SD=0.73). In conclusion, the Brazilian Portuguese version of SEFIP-work presents an acceptable level of understanding by workers in the investigation of musculoskeletal pain or discomfort.
