title: Improvement of postural balance in elderly women with the use of additional sensory information

description: ABSTRACT The natural process of human aging has morphological and physiological changes, such as balance and gait, increasing the risk of falling. Some studies have investigated the use of additional sensory information to improve body balance using a soft touch on a rigid and stationary surface, which showed a significant reduction in the body oscillation. Effects of the additional sensory information were evaluated during gait on elderly women. We evaluated 30 elderly women aged 60 or older. Sensory information was added by an infrapatellar bandage. Participants performed the tests proposed by the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI), the Timed Up and Go (TUG), and the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT), with and without infrapatellar bandage. Data comparisons were carried out by using paired t test and Wilcoxon test with p ≤ 0.05. There was a significant difference in the TUG (without bandage: 10.13 ± 2.1, with bandage: 9.71 ± 2.1, p = 0.0007) and DGI test (without bandage: 20.65 ± 2 1; with bandage: 22.1 ± 2.1, p = 0.002). There was no significant difference in the use of 10MWT sensory addition. The results showed that the use of additional sensory information generated by the infrapatellar bandage promoted improvement of functional mobility and physical performance in elderly women.

title: Association of balance and cardiorespiratory conditioning techniques reduces risk of falls and improves functional capacity in women

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to test the effectiveness of the association of balance training on the ground with cardiorespiratory training in the water on the functional capacity and risk of falls on adult women. This single-blind uncontrolled clinical trial was formed by 24 women (60.79±5.51), subjected to three months of training. Instruments: Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), QuickScreen Clinical Falls Risk Assessment (QSCFRA) and Six-Minute Walk Test (6mwt). Balance improvement was noticed, although without statistical significance. Significant improvement occurred for risk of falls (p&lt;0.001) and 6mwt (p=0.049), with a 39.58±95.5 mean increase of distance covered. Significant correlations happened between 6mwt and pre-training SPPB (r=0.56, p=0.008), age and QSCFRA (r=0.538, p=0.012), and comorbidities and QSCFRA (r=0.696; p=0.006). Effectiveness was observed in association with the proposed training on reduction of risk of falls and functional capacity improvement.

title: Physical therapist’s performance in Cerests: indicators of notification of work-related musculoskeletal disorders

description: ABSTRACT This study described the role of physical therapists in Cerests (Occupational Health Reference Centers in Brazil) and estimated the number of notifications of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the country. This study was conducted with primary dada obtained from an electronic questionnaire to verify the insertion and actions performed by physical therapists in Cerests in Brazil, and with secondary data related to the notifications to SINAN between 2009 and 2013. Results: in Cerests, 71.1% had at least one physical therapist in the health team in 2015. Most physical therapists were allocated in the Southeast (37.6%) and Northeast (31.6%) regions, which were also the geographical origins of most notifications (62.3% and 26.7%, respectively). The national average insertion of these professionals in Cerests was 1.02 physical therapists per health unit. Physical therapists are present in most Cerests, and their geographical concentration corresponds to the regions with the highest proportion of cases of work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Despite the preponderance of surveillance actions in occupational health, rehabilitative actions conducted by physical therapists still coexist.

title: Demographic mapping and characterization of physical therapy care profile offered in Neonatal Intensive Care Units in the City of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT This study aims to map and characterize the profile of physical therapy care offered in intensive care units (ICU) of public and private hospitals in the city of Rio de Janeiro. To this end, a cross-sectional study was conducted by interviews with the heads/routine chiefs of physical therapy services of the hospitals in the city of Rio de Janeiro with neonatal ICU (NICU) from January 2013 to January 2015. The questions comprised the distribution of working hours, organization and institutional location, time of experience in the area, types of physical therapy techniques and resources used. Twenty seven hospitals (17 public and 10 private) were studied as follows: 6 hospitals in the South area of the city, 8 in the North, 8 in the West and 5 in the central area and port area. The total number of physical therapists of the teams was 141, and 59% of them were experts in neonatal intensive care. With regard to the heads/routine chiefs, 16 (59%) were specialists in neonatal intensive care and 21 (79%) had more than five years of experience. Various physical therapy techniques were cited as: motor physical therapy, chest vibration and thoracic-abdominal rebalance. According to the results, there was not a single standard regarding routines, protocols, professional organization and training, and techniques used. In addition, it was found that the physical therapy in ICUs was not held full-time, neither provided the three shifts care.

title: Musculoskeletal disorder and quality of life in seamstresses in the city of Indaial, Santa Catarina, Brazil

description: ABSTRACT Health problems arising from employment relationships have become a worldwide phenomenon. The objective of this study was to evaluate the musculoskeletal symptoms and the quality of life in seamstresses in the city of Indaial (SC), Brazil. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study, with quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 118 seamstresses, located in 48 companies, who responded to three questionnaires: sociodemographic, musculoskeletal symptoms and quality of life. About 71.1% of the evaluated seamstresses presented musculoskeletal symptoms in the last seven days and 88.1% in the last 12 months. The body region most reported was shoulders (18.6%) and the causes of work leave were dorsal and lumbar pain (19.1% and 19.1%, respectively). The most affected quality of life domain was the General health condition (57.03±16.08), followed by Vitality (58.89±17.65), Pain (60.53±22.28), Mental health (66.81±19.19), Emotional aspects (67.72±38.29), Physical aspects (73.94±32.91), Social aspects (75.63±23.10) and Functional capacity (77.16±19.19). It is noticed that the higher the quality of life score, the lower the number of anatomical regions with pain. The combination of preventive measures at work with periods of micropauses, correct postures and workplace exercises can influence in reducing pain, preventing diseases and improving the quality of life.

title: Performance in simple and dual task activities of institutionalized older adults who perform and do not perform physical therapy

description: ABSTRACT Was compared the performance in simple and dual task in institutionalized older adults who perform and do not perform Physical Therapy. The study involved 60 institutionalized older adults, 30 that performed Physical Therapy (PTG) and 30 that did not perform (NPTG). To assess the performance in simple and dual tasks activities, all participants performed the subsequent activities: one-foot stance test, walking in a corridor for 30 seconds, stepping up and down for 30 seconds, stand up and sit down on a chair for 30 seconds (simple task). After that, the older adults performed the same activities while holding a plastic cup with water (motor dual task), speaking the days of the week in opposite way (cognitive dual task), and holding a plastic cup with water while speaking the days of the week in opposite way (motor and cognitive dual task). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics with significance value p≤0,05. We observed differences between the walking tests and in the get up and sit down tests and, the greater the complexity of the task, the lower was the performance of the participants. In the stepping up and down activity, there was difference between groups where the PTG had a better performance compared with the NPTG group. We observed no differences between groups in the one-foot stance test. The dual task led to a reduction in functional performance in both groups: the institutionalized older adults that performed Physical Therapy and that did not perform.

title: Association of clinical diagnosis with occupational situation of patients of a physical therapy service

description: ABSTRACT Multiple causes of work-related lesions are little explored in Physical Therapy and its understanding based on the Epidemiologic and Technical Security System Nexus (NTEP) may provide physical therapists conditions for them to act in work processes. We aimed to analyze the association between clinical diagnosis and occupational situation of patients from a Physical Therapy service. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study with 656 patients assisted from January 2013 to July 2014. We collected, from medical records, information about sex, age, skin color, clinical diagnosis and occupational situation. Chi-square and logistic regression tests were used for the analysis of the association between diagnosis and occupational situations. A population with mean age of 49.4 years, mostly women, white skin color and predominance of non-traumatic lesions. Multiple regression showed association between domestic services and carpal tunnel syndrome (OR=2.54) and shoulder injuries (OR=1.82); between construction services and pain in the spine (OR=5.78) and distal fractures in the lower limb (OR=3.53); between retirees and gonoarthrosis (OR=3.76), osteoarthritis in the spine (OR=2.24), and CVA (OR=2.03), shoulder injuries (OR=0.27) and distal fractures in the lower limb (OR=0.15). Our study showed risk for lesions of upper limbs in domestic services; for lesions of the spine and distal fractures of lower limbs in construction services; for arthrosis and CVA in retirees. Retirees feature a protection factor for shoulder injuries and fractures of lower limbs. Physical therapists can work in the selection of epidemiological indicators, formulation of ergonomic guidelines and planning of the therapeutic conduct.

title: Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the ABILHAND-Kids for the Brazilian Portuguese

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to translate, to adapt cross-culturally and to validate the ABILHAND-Kids for the Brazilian Portuguese. ABILHAND-Kids was translated to Brazilian Portuguese and translated back by two certified translators in each phase. After the expert committee approval, the pre-test version was applied in 40 parents of children with cerebral palsy in order to verify item comprehension. Twenty-one volunteers were enrolled in the psychometric properties analysis. Reproducibility was verified by interrater and intrarater reliability and the validity was tested by investigating Box and Block Test, Purdue Pegboard Test and grip strength correlations. ABILHAND-Kids showed strong intrarater (ICC=0.91) and interrater (ICC=0.97) reliability and high internal consistency (Cronbach’s alfa: 0.99). ABILHAND-Kids showed significant correlations with Box and Block Test (performed by dominant upper extremity), Purdue Pegboard Test and grip strength. The Brazilian Portuguese version of ABILHAND-Kids is a reliable tool to measure upper extremities function of children with cerebral palsy, based on the perception of their parents.

title: Anthropometric profile, physical activity level, degree of anxiety, and posture in college students

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the anthropometric profile, level of physical activity, anxiety level, and posture of graduate students in the health field. This is a cross-sectional study involving 100 college students from health courses at a university in the western state of São Paulo. Weight, height, waist circumference, and body mass index data were collected. We also applied the International Physical Activity Questionnaire for physical activity; the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for anxiety; and the Postural Assessment Instrument for postural defects. The results of this study show that 67% of students have an average BMI of 22.12±4.84 kg/m², and 38% are regularly active. Regarding anxiety levels, the sample obtained (mean STAI E 40.6 points and STAI T 40.05) can be classified as moderate. In addition, 50% of the sample have lumbar concavity. Therefore, most health care university students displayed normal anthropometric values, were regularly active, had a moderate level of anxiety and had no postural defects.
