title: Construct validity of the 2-minute walk test for patients with lower limb amputation using prosthesis

description: ABSTRACT Allied to functional assessment, walking tests have been reported to be reliable and valid for several populations, quantifying an individual’s functional capacity and responding to changes during the rehabilitation process. This study aims to analyze the construct validity of the 2-minute walk test for patients with prosthetic lower limbs undergoing rehabilitation. A total of 51 patients aged over 18 years underwent the 2-minute walk test. These individuals had a clinical diagnosis of lower limb amputation at any level and had undergone rehabilitation at least six months at the time of assessment, which was correlated with the Functional Measure for Amputees (FMA) questionnaires and the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) aspects to obtain the Pearson Correlation Coefficient with a significance level of p&lt;0.05. Among the participants, 64.7% were male, with a mean age of 53.4 years, 59.92% had transtibial amputation and the main cause was trauma (54.90%). The average score for the questionnaires was 63.58 points for the Physical Capacity of the SF-36 and 37.14 points for question two of the FMA. The correlation of the distance walked in the 2-minute walk test showed a moderate correlation for the Physical Capacity of the SF-36 and a moderate correlation for question two of the FMA. The outcomes show a moderate correlation between the 2-minute walk test and the subjective function assessment tools used, showing that it is valid as an objective measure for the population studied.

title: Validation of the Brazilian version of WHODAS 2.0 for individuals with temporomandibular disorders

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to validate the Brazilian version of World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) for individuals with temporomandibular disorders (TMD), assessing its psychometric properties, including internal consistency, construct validity, and discriminant validity. In total, 100 female and male patients with TMD were included. Participants were assessed based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for TMD (RDC/TMD). For statistical analyses, McDonald’s omega coefficient was used to assess internal consistency; Spearman correlation, for construct validity; Kruskal-Wallis test and multiple comparisons (Dunn method), for discriminant validity. The results of internal consistency for the WHODAS 2.0 domains ranged from 0.70 to 0.94. The WHODAS 2.0 showed a moderate and significant correlation with the disability points of the RDC/TMD and with the WHOQOL-BREF domains. In the discriminant validity, significant differences were found in all domains of WHODAS 2.0 between grade 0 and grade III, between grade I and grade III, and between grade II and grade III from the chronic pain grading of the RDC/TMD. The results demonstrate that the instrument is reliable and valid for measuring the functioning of individuals with TMD, presenting acceptable psychometric properties for internal consistency, as well as for construct validity and discriminant validity.

title: Is the self-perception of the neighborhood environment associated with probable sarcopenia in the community of older adults?

description: ABSTRACT The association of sarcopenia with sociodemographic and health factors has been previously presented in the literature. However, little is known about how environmental factors may be related to this condition. The study sought to verify the association between self-perception of a built neighborhood characteristics and probable sarcopenia in community-dwelling older adults. This was a cross-sectional study including 306 community-dwelling older adults of both genders. The outcome was probable sarcopenia, categorized with the time taken in the sit to stand test &gt;15 seconds, as proposed by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People. The predictor variables were assessed using the neighborhood environment walkability scale (A-NEWS), which includes issues related to the infrastructure and security of the neighborhood, streets, sidewalks, and types of land use. Multivariate Logistic Regression analyses were performed. The presence of supermarkets/convenience stores/grocery stores/warehouses, open markets (OR: 0.45; 95%CI: 0.22-0.91) and bus stops (OR: 0.23; 95%CI: 0.10-0.50) were protective factors for probable sarcopenia. However, the accumulation of garbage and/or places with open sewage close to the residence (OR: 2.17; 95%CI: 1.16-4.05) were risk factors. There was a protective association of local businesses and bus stops near the place of residence for probable sarcopenia. However, the accumulation of garbage and/or places with open sewage near the residence proved to be risk factors for probable sarcopenia.

title: The effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on strength, pain, and function in individuals with knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review with meta-analysis

description: ABSTRACT We aimed to investigate the effects of neuromuscular electrical stimulation on muscle strength, pain relief, and improvement in function in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Databases were searched from December 2017 to July 2020 and included PubMed, Embase, LILACS, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. A manual search was also performed by checking the reference lists of eligible articles. The PRISMA guidelines were followed. The studies selected compared NMES with an exercise program on isometric muscle strength as a primary outcome. The secondary outcomes were pain and function. The quality of the studies was assessed using the Risk of Bias assessment and PEDro scale, and the overall quality of the evidence was assessed using the GRADE approach. Eight studies were included in this systematic review. A total of 571 patients were analyzed. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation associated with exercise promoted an increase in isometric strength of the quadriceps muscle compared to the active control group, demonstrating heterogeneity and statistical difference (95% CI=1.16 to 5.10, I2=97%, p=0.002; very low-certainty evidence). NMES associated with exercise did not improve physical function (95% CI=−0.37 to 0.59, I2=0%, p=0.67; low-certainty evidence) and showed controversial results for pain compared to an active control group (qualitative assessment). In conclusion, NMES induces an increase in muscle strength in patients with osteoarthritis compared to an active control group. No differences were found for physical function and pain outcomes. Further research is needed due to the uncertain level of evidence.

title: Health and disability in patients undergoing treatment with chemotherapy

description: ABSTRACT Chemotherapy can negatively influence the functional capacity and quality of life of oncology patients. This investigation aims to assess the health and disability of patients undergoing chemotherapy by a cross-sectional study with 117 oncology patients. The Brazilian 36-item version of the World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0) and the Medical Outcomes Study 36- Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) were used. Patients were classified according to their age and the tumor location and time of diagnosis. Spearman’s correlation was performed to verify the correlation between health and disability and quality of life. The “life activities” domain was the most impaired whereas “getting along” was the least. No differences were observed according to tumor location. The time of diagnosis and patient’s age did not show homogeneity in the results. Health and disability were little correlated with quality of life and suffered slight impairment. Impairments are unaffected by tumor location, time of diagnosis, and patient’s age, and unrelated to quality of life.

title: Walking capacity, performance, and confidence as predictors of falls in post-stroke individuals

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to assess the correlation between walking capacity, performance, and confidence and the number of falls in post-stroke individuals, in addition to investigate which of these walking-related variables could predict falls in this population. In total, 95 post-stroke individuals were evaluated according to the number of falls in the last year and walking capacity (10-meter walk test), walking performance (ABILOCO-Brazil) and walking confidence (modified Gait Efficacy Scale). Pearson’’s correlation coefficient was used to assess the correlations between variables. Multiple linear regression was used to assess whether walking-related variables can predict falls in post-stroke individuals. No significant correlations were found between capacity (p=0.87) and walking performance (p=0.06) and number of falls. A significant, negative correlation, with moderate magnitude, was found only between walking confidence and falls (r=−0.43; p&lt;0.01). In the regression analysis, only walking confidence remained in the model (p&lt;0.01) as a predictor of the number of falls in post-stroke individuals, explaining 18% (R2=0.18) of this variable. Thus, this study results demonstrated that only walking confidence is directly related to the number of falls in post-stroke individuals, which is also the only variable that can be considered a predictor of this event in this population.

title: Body dissatisfaction and aesthetic procedures in students

description: ABSTRACT Dissatisfaction with body image occurs when the individual wants his body to be different from his own perception. Young people tend to have concerns about the body that can affect their physical and psychological health. The study sought to identify the degree of body dissatisfaction and aesthetic procedures made by students. It is an observational and cross-sectional study that used a self-administered digital questionnaire sent by e-mail. Students aged 18 and over, regularly enrolled at the Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora, Campus Governador Valadares (UFJF/GV) between January and March 2020 were included. There were 299 participants, 81.6% of whom were female, 68.2% with a family income of up to 4 minimum wages, 34.8% of the physiotherapy course, and 64.5% did not know Dermatofunctional Physical Therapy. 21.1% had already undergone an aesthetic procedure, and 85.3% reported a desire to perform aesthetic procedures. The desired procedures were mainly to reduce localized fat, with lack of money being the main obstacle. Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-8) was used to evaluate body dissatisfaction. 33.4% of the participants show no dissatisfaction, and 14.8% reported severe dissatisfaction. There was an association between body dissatisfaction and whether each individual would like to perform an aesthetic procedure, and in all BSQ-8 categories, the answer yes was more frequent. Despite the low degree of body dissatisfaction found, part of the participants showed severe dissatisfaction, highlighting the need to promote educational actions on the idealization of body image, in order to avoid negative impacts on individuals’ physical and mental health.

title: Out-of-hospital physical therapy during pandemic: the vision and positioning of professionals

description: ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic caused atypical moments for the population. In Brazil, to promote measures to control viral dissemination, Decrees issued by several government levels indicated the essential and non-essential services that could remain in operation during a certain period. Out-of-hospital physical therapy was considered nonessential. This article aims to verify whether physical therapists consider the practice of out-of-hospital physical therapy as an essential service during periods of humanitarian crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, we aim to identify the types of care procedures performed during this period. We performed a cross-sectional, quantitative, and descriptive survey with descriptive analysis, conducted by an electronic questionnaire published on the websites of the Regional Councils of Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy (CREFITO’s) of Paraná - CREFITO 8, Santa Catarina - CREFITO 10, and Rio Grande do Sul - CREFITO 5. 78% of the volunteers are female, and 44% are registered in CREFITO 8, 40% are physical therapist of CREFITO 5, 16% are registered in CREFITO 10, and 100% of the sample considered out-of-hospital physical therapy an essential service. Regarding the schooling level, 70% have a graduate degree and 54% work in private establishments. During the decree of essential services, 56% of the professionals did not practice. Out-of-hospital physical therapy is essential in pandemic crises. In addition to providing initiation and continuity to patient treatment, it avoids unnecessary visits to hospitals.
