title: Effects of a Video Game-Based Intervention on the Attention and Functional Independence of Older Adults after Cerebrovascular Accident

description: ABSTRACT The population aging is increasing the number of chronical diseases that result in cognitive and motor limitations, how stroke. The objective of the research was to investigate the effects of Motion Rehab game in attention and independence in the elderly after stroke. It is a study of control intervention before and after, where population was 10 elderly people with average ages of 67,7 and 71 years old, with cerebrovascular damage caused by ischemic stroke, and users of the Physical rehabilitation center. The research sessions were realized individually, once a week frequency, with 15 minutes long, during 15 weeks. The research tools were, Mini Mental State Examination, Functional Independence Measure, Geriatric Depression Scale and Colorful Trails Test. The research sessions were realized individually, once a week frequency, with 15 minutes long, during 15 weeks. In the data analysis the Student t test for paired samples was applied. The results determine significant differences in the attention and independence after the interventions with the game. During the colorful trails tests´ the time reduced 330,5±140,8 second at the evaluation, from 259,4±112,5 second the reevaluation (p=0,039), for more, the psychologist professional interference needs decreases from 0,8±0,5 to 0,4±0,3 (p=0,036). The Functional Independence average obtained at first was a score of 102,3 ± 23,4 (modified dependence) and at the reevaluation a score of 107±18,6 (modified independence) (p=0,044). It was possible to conclude that the interventions brought benefits to the elderly people, turning in an alternative to the physics and cognitive rehabilitations to that population.

title: Cognition and environment are predictors of infants' motor development over time

description: ABSTRACT We conducted a longitudinal investigation on the relationships among motor and cognitive development, biological aspects, maternal practices, parental knowledge, and family environments of infants. Forty-nine infants aged between 3 and 16 months participated in the study. They were evaluated through the Alberta Infant Motor Scale and the Cognitive Scale of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. Their parents answered a questionnaire about biological factors, the Daily Activities of Infant Scale, affordances for motor development (Baby Scale) in the home environment, and the Brazilian version of the Knowledge of Infant Development Inventory. We conducted evaluations in schools for 4 months. Generalized estimating equations, Bonferroni correction, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient were used. Significant associations were found in the (1) univariate analysis between motor and cognitive development and environmental factors (education level, income, toy availability, physical space, parental practices and knowledge, breastfeeding duration, and school frequency); (2) multivariate analyses between motor development and income, and between father's age and physical space at home. Motor and cognitive developments were concluded to depend on each other, and environmental factors were shown to be more significant in the associations rather than the biological ones, stressing the importance of home, of parental care, and of the experiences children go through along the first years of their lives.

title: Effects of resistive exercise and stretching on the soleus muscle of ovariectomized rats

description: ABSTRACT This study analyzed the effects of resistive exercise and/or stretching in the muscle morphology of ovariectomized rats. Seventy-five female Wistar rats (218±22g) were divided into 8 groups: Control (CONTROL, n=5); Ovariectomy/Hysterectomy (OH, n=10): ovariectomized/hysterectomized and then waited 8 weeks for the onset of osteopenia. Stretching (STRET, n=10): manual stretching of the soleus muscle (10 repetitions of 60s), twice weekly; Ovariectomy/Hysterectomy and Stretching (OH+STRET, n=10); Progressive Loading (PL, n=10): 4 sets of 10 repetitions, initial load 50% of body weight, increasing weekly until 70%, three times a week. Progressive Loading and Stretching (PL+STRET, n=10); Ovariectomy/Hysterectomy and Progressive loading exercise (OH+PL, n=10); Ovariectomy/Hysterectomy, Progressive Loading and Stretching (OH+PL+STRET, n=10). Stretching and/or progressive loading were performed for 6 weeks. After 14 weeks, the female rats were euthanized to remove the soleus muscle. The following variables were assessed: body weight; muscle weight and length; number and length of sarcomeres and the muscle fiber cross-sectional area (MFCSA). Comparisons between the groups were performed with ANOVA one-way post hoc Tukey or Kruskall-Wallis (p&lt;0.05). The body and muscle weights of ovariectomized rats submitted to exercise were higher than the intact ones. The OH and OH+PL+STRET increased the muscle length and the serial sarcomere number. OH presented the smallest MFCSA compared to all groups. Ovariectomy/hysterectomy induced sarcopenia, but the exercise's protocols were enough to prevent the loss of MFCSA. The increase in body weight associated to resistive training and stretching enhanced sarcomerogenesis of ovariectomized rats.

title: Reported morbidities and quality of life: population-based study

description: ABSTRACT The purpose was to verify the level of health-related quality of life in a population-based sample of adults aged 20 years or more living in the city of Bauru, São Paulo, Brazil, and its association with the amount of reported morbidities. A population survey was conducted through a complex sampling in two stages, totaling 600 participants in the urban area of Bauru, São Paulo. To collect data, the following instruments were used: 1. Characterization of participants (demographic and socio-economic aspects, physical activity level and smoking habit); 2. reported morbidity through the following question: "Last year, did you receive a diagnosis of any illness from a doctor?; 3. Quality of Life, using the Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) questionnaire. Descriptive and bivariate analyses were carried out using the Student's t-test and ANOVA. It was noted that 70.5% had at least one disease, and the most common morbidities reported were hypertension, osteoarthritis, depression, and diabetes. The association between the number of diseases, those who reported three or more diseases, and older age had worse HRQOL scores in all physical domains and limitations by social and emotional aspects. A greater number of comorbidities was associated with the lower scores of health-related quality of life.

title: The influence of medical work leaves in the perception of health and quality of life of adult individuals

description: ABSTRACT This study compared perceptions on health and quality of life among active workers and workers on leave attended at the basic health units of the city of Uberaba, Minas Gerais, Brazil. We evaluated 111 workers through a questionnaire with social, demographic, and occupational data, and evaluation on health perception and SF-36 for quality of life. Data were submitted to descriptive analysis, Chi-square test for comparison of perception on health, and Mann-Whitney U test for comparison of quality of life. More than half of the sample was female (63.1%), averagely aged 36 years. As for the current situation at work, most of them was actively working (69.4%), and 30.6% were on leave, with an average of 2.85 months away from work. Over 75% of respondents rated their health as very good or good, and 23.4% as regular, bad, or very bad. The workers on leave had significantly worse quality of life in the areas of functional capacity, physical appearance, pain, general health state, in social, emotional, and mental health aspect, and worse health perception when compared to active workers. Being outside the labor market was associated with a worse perception of health and quality of life. Thus, actions and policies for insertion of adult individuals in labor-related activities should be encouraged.

title: Satisfaction of patients receiving physiotherapy care for musculoskeletal conditions: a cross-sectional study

description: ABSTRACT We measured the satisfaction of patients who receive physiotherapy care for musculoskeletal conditions in the Southeast region of Brazil. The MRPS instrument (MedRisk instrument for measuring Patient Satisfaction) was used to measure the satisfaction of 403 patients of eight physiotherapy clinics of the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo. In addition, we collected demographic and clinical characteristics of participants and the Global Perceived Effect (GPE) scale. The MRPS was described through mean and standard deviation. Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated to investigate the association between GPE and the total score of the MRPS. Linear regression models were used to analyze the characteristics of patients that could predict total satisfaction. High satisfaction was observed with the physiotherapeutic care, being the mean score a total of 4.5 points (SD=0.4). A moderate correlation was observed between the total satisfaction and the GPE (Pearson's r of -0.31, p&lt;0.001). Only gender influenced the total score of satisfaction, as males showed the highest satisfaction with the received care. The level of patient satisfaction with the physiotherapy treatment in the Southeast region of Brazil can be considered high.

title: Impact of sensorimotor training with whole body vibration platform on balance and functional mobility of an elderly individual after a stroke: case report

description: ABSTRACT The incidence of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) increases with aging and can result in sensory and motor changes, which limit functional capacity due to the reduction in balance and mobility. Different resources are being used by physical therapists in their practice to recover balance and mobility, such as sensorimotor training and training with a vibrating platform. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of a sensorimotor training protocol with vibrating platform on the balance and functional mobility of an older adult with CVA sequela. An older adult, of the female sex, aged 72 years and with CVA sequela participated in this study. The assessment of balance was performed through the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the assessment of mobility through the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG). The dependent variables for monitoring were: score obtained through BBS and execution time of TUG. After the initial assessment, the older adult went through a sensorimotor training protocol with a vibration platform, comprised of 10 sessions of 45 minutes. With the final assessment, the results showed an increase in the scores of BBS (initial assessment = 41 points; final assessment = 51 points) and a reduction in the execution time of TUG (initial assessment = 14 seconds; final assessment = 9 seconds) in the older adult with CVA sequela. Based on these results, we can conclude that the proposed training was effective for the improvement of balance and functional mobility of the older adult with CVA sequela.

title: Is there a difference in early mobilization between mechanically ventilated clinical and surgical patients in ICU?

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to conduct a survey of the practices related to the mobilization of patients admitted to a general ICU, comparing them by type of intervention (clinical or surgical). This is a retrospective study of medical records of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of Hospital Ministro Costa Cavalcanti in the city of Foz do Iguaçu, state of Paraná, Brazil, of which the following information were obtained: time to sit out of the hospital bed for the first time, to perform active exercises, to wean mechanical ventilation, of ICU hospitalization; diagnosis; sex; and age. We included 105 patients in the research, being 44 (41.9%) surgical, and 61 (58.1%) males, with an average age of 61.1±18.5 for clinical patients and 60.4±14.9 for surgical patients. We observed statistical difference concerning time to sit out of the bed (3±4 days for clinical patients and 3.1±4.5 for surgical patients) (p=0.02). We did not observe any differences regarding active exercises when comparing clinical and surgical patients.
