title: Dynamic Movement Assessment and Functional Movement Screening for injury prediction: a systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Dynamic Movement AssessmentTM (DMATM) and Functional Movement ScreeningTM (FMSTM) are tools to predict the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in individuals who practice physical activities. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the association of DMATM and FMSTM with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries, in different physical activities, categorizing by analysis. A research without language or time filters was carried out in November 2016 in MEDLINE, Google Scholar, SciELO, SCOPUS, SPORTDiscus, CINAHL and BVS databases using the keywords: “injury prediction”, “injury risk”, “sensitivity”, “specificity”, “functional movement screening”, and “dynamic movement assessment”. Prospective studies that analyzed the association between DMATM and FMSTM with the risk of musculoskeletal injuries in physical activities were included. The data extracted from the studies were: participant’s profile, sample size, injury’s classification criteria, follow-up time, and the results presented, subdivided by the type of statistical analysis. The risk of bias was performed with Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. No study with DMATM was found. A total of 20 FMSTM studies analyzing one or more of the following indicators were included: diagnostic accuracy (PPV, NPV and AUC), odds ratios (OR) or relative risk (RR). FMSTM showed a sensitivity=12 to 99%; specificity=38 to 97%; PPV=25 to 91%; NPV=28 to 85%; AUC=0.42 to 0.68; OR=0.53 to 54.5; and RR=0.16-5.44. The FMSTM has proven to be a predictor of musculoskeletal injuries. However, due to methodological limitations, its indiscriminate usage should be avoided.

title: Adverse effects of electrothermal phototherapy in clinics in the city of Cascavel - PR

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to identify the main adverse effects observed by physical therapists using electrothermal phototherapy devices in clinics in the city of Cascavel, Paraná. The sample comprised 35 clinics, of which 25 were submitted to data collection after sorting. Data were collected through questionnaires in the form of semi-structured interview. In these questionnaires, the responsible for providing the electrothermal phototherapy service were asked about the occurrence of adverse effects experienced during labor activities at the clinic. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) showed problems in 64% of cases, being 36% due to skin irritations and 28% due to pain. The shortwave apparatus showed adverse effects in 60% of cases, of which 40% consisted of complaints of pain and 20% caused minor burns. Regarding therapeutic ultrasound, adverse effects were reported in 52% of cases, of which 32% were episodes of pain and 20% of nausea. The low-power laser therapy showed adverse effect on 36% of cases, with reports of increased local sensitivity. Finally, the medium frequency devices had adverse effect in only 20% of cases, being complaints of nausea. The amount of such effects found was important, but their gravity did not cause major concern.

title: Effect of age, dual task and vision on the sense of ankle positioning

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to measure objectively the proprioception in different situations (with and without the aid of vision, with or without a concomitant cognitive task, and actively and passively), in elder and adult individuals. Ten healthy adults and ten healthy seniors participated in the study. The effects of different restrictions were studied in the development of movement through absolute (accuracy) and relative (consistency) errors. The sense of ankle positioning was measured with a Biodex System 3isokinetic dynamometer. Four-factor analysis of variance and the Tukey post hoc test were used to analyze the parameters. The results showed that the subject factor interferes in the absolute error, since the groups showed significant difference: the elderly make more mistakes when compared with adults. The other factors (vision, cognitive task and type of movement) did not show significant difference. In the relative error, results showed that the cognitive task concomitant to movement was capable of producing significant difference; however, the other factors (individuals, vision and type of movement) were not. Age affects the accuracy of the proprioceptive sense, regardless of the situation. There was no difference between performing the movement with and without the aid of vision, and the double task (motor associated with cognitive) affects the consistency of the movement.

title: Burnout Syndrome: the Reality of ICU Physiotherapists

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the profile and prevalence of Burnout syndrome in physical therapists of public hospitals with intensive care units (ICU) in Recife, comparing them between adult, pediatric and neonatal units. A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in five public hospitals with intensive care units in the city of Recife. A sociodemographic questionnaire, a questionnaire for stressors and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MIB) were used to assess the prevalence of the syndrome. The results indicated a percentage of Burnout of 48.72% for adult ICU professionals and 47.06% for pediatric and neonatal ICUs, considering a serious level in only one dimension. High scores were found in the Emotional Exhaustion indicators, with 56.42% in the adult ICU and 64.71% in the pediatric and neonatal ICUs. For Depersonalization 12.82% in adult ICU and 29.41% in other ICUs. As for Professional Realization, values of 17.65% in pediatric and neonatal ICUs and 33.33% in adults. The prevalence of Burnout syndrome was high among the evaluated physiotherapists. Given this, it is observed the need to develop preventive measures and intervention models, so that this effect is minimized.

title: Incremental shuttle walk test performed in a hallway and on a treadmill: are they interchangeable?

description: ABSTRACT The performances of healthy individuals in an incremental shuttle walking test performed in a hallway (ISWT-H) and on a treadmill (ISWT-T) were compared to assess their physiological responses during aerobic training sessions with the speeds estimated from both tests. This was a cross-sectional study with 55 healthy subjects, who were randomized to perform the ISWT tests with 24 hours between them. Training sessions were held using a treadmill at 75% of the speeds obtained from the ISWT-H and ISWT-T. Measurements included walking distance, oxygen uptake (VO2), carbon dioxide (VCO2) production, heart rate (HR), and ventilation (VE). There was a significant difference between walking distances (ISWT-T: 823.9±165.2 m and ISWT-H:685.4±141.4 m), but similar physiological responses for VO2 (28.6±6.6 vs. 29.0±7.3 ml-1.kg-1.min-1), VCO2 (1.9±0.7 vs. 1.9±0.5 1), HR (158.3±17.8 vs. 158.6±17.7 bpm), and VE (41.5±10.4 vs. 43.7±12.9 1). The estimated speeds were different for the training sessions (5.5±0.5 km/h and 4.9±0.3 km/h), as well as the VO2, VCO2, VE, and HR. It was concluded that in healthy young adults, ISWTs carried out in a hallway and on a treadmill are not interchangeable. Since the ISWT-H was determined to have lower speed, the training intensity based on this test may underestimate a patient’s responses to aerobic training.

title: Relationship between chronic non-specific low back pain with disability, static posture and flexibility

description: ABSTRACT Among the types of chronic musculoskeletal pain, low back pain is one of the most common symptoms, with lifetime prevalence of 84%. Despite its high incidence, its causes and risk factors are not well understood. The objective of this study was: (1) compare the flexibility and characteristics of static posture between individuals with and without chronic non-specific low back pain; and (2) check for any relationship between the presence and intensity of chronic non-specific low back pain and disability, flexibility and static posture characteristics. A total of 104 adult subjects, aged 18 to 60 years, participated in the study. The sample was divided into two groups: patients with chronic non-specific low back pain (GWP - group with pain; n=52) and patients without low back pain (GWOP - group without pain; n=52). Data collection consisted of four steps: (1) anamnesis; (2) static postural assessment by photogrammetry using the Digital Image-based Postural Assessment (DIPA©) software protocol; (3) special body flexibility tests; and (4) application of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) questionnaire. Pain intensity showed a significant correlation with the disability index (r=0.42; p=0.00) and Wells flexibility test (r=-0.32; p=0.02). No correlation was observed between the presence of pain and static posture and flexibility, and no difference was observed between the groups. Individuals with greater intensity of chronic non-specific low back pain presented greater disability and lower scores in the Wells flexibility test.

title: Peak cough flow in children and young people with spinal muscular atrophy types II and III

description: ABSTRACT Spinal muscular atrophy is a neurodegenerative disorder, which may be associated with progressive respiratory failure. Our aim is to describe the peak cough flow of children and young people with spinal muscular atrophy types II and III. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted at a neuropediatrics outpatient clinic between March 2011 and May 2012, with patients with spinal muscular atrophy types II and III, and aging more than 5 years. Out of the 53 eligible patients, 21 participated in the research. The measurement of peak cough flow was carried out through the peak flow meter, with patients sitting and lying down. After taking three measures, we selected the one with the highest value among them. Type-III individuals reached peak cough flow values higher than those of type-II individuals. Measures taken in the sitting position (SMA II 159.4 l/min; SMA III 287.9 l/min) were higher than those measured in the lying position (SMA II 146.9 l/min; SMA III 257.5 l/min), with significant difference (p-value=0.008 in sitting position, and p=0.033 in lying position). We concluded that individuals with SMA III manifest higher PCF, especially when sitting, in comparison with SMA II.

title: Inspiratory muscle endurance in obese and eutrophic individuals

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to compare inspiratory muscle endurance and hemodynamic responses between obese and eutrophic individuals. In this cross-sectional study participated 20 obese individuals (31±6 years old, 10 men, 37.5±4.7 kg/m2) and 20 healthy subjects (29±8 years old, 10 men, 23.2±1.5 kg/m2). Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength were measured by a manovacuometry through the determination of the maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) and the maximum expiratory pressure (MEP), respectively. Inspiratory muscle endurance was determined by na incremental test with an initial load of 50% MIP and increments of 10% MIP every 3 minutes until the individual was unable to continue the test. Obese (470±326 sec) showed a reduction in inspiratory muscle endurance compared to eutrophic individuals (651±215 sec). Inspiratory and expiratory muscle strength did not differ between groups. Inspiratory muscle endurance test induced a similar increase in systolic, diastolic and mean arterial pressure, as well as in heart rate in obese and eutrophic individuals. In conclusion, obese show reduction of inspiratory muscle resistance compared to eutrophic individuals, but the hemodynamic responses induced by inspiratory muscle resistance test did not differ between obese and eutrophic patients.

title: Reliability in the measurement of maximum inspiratory pressure and inspiratory capacity of a physiotherapist in training

description: ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to explore the impact of clinical experience on the reliability and concordance of maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) and inspiratory capacity (IC) measurements in a period of clinical training. For convenience, 37 participants in a body plethysmograph were evaluated by an experienced physiotherapist (EF) and a novice physiotherapist (NF). Intra-Class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) was used to analyze the reliability of the MIP and IC tests; to explore the individual differences, the Bland-Altman (gB/A) graphs were used. ICC analysis in three trials showed excellent inter-rater reliability (ICC 1st: 0.914; ICC 2nd: 0.915; ICC 3rd: 0.925) for the MIP test and (ICC 1st: 0.955; ICC 2nd: 0.965; ICC 3rd: 0.970) for the IC test. However, concordance according to gB/A among the evaluators showed a systematic trend with higher absolute scores for EF of 9.2 cmH2O in MIP, and of 0.06 L in IC, respectively. The results suggest that NF acquired reliable technical and discriminative skills for the MIP and IC test, but patients tended to improve performance with an experienced assessor. The evaluator’s experience influences the results obtained from the measurement of the MIP in the subjects; the formation of a NF requires incorporating more skills to recognize a sincere and maximum effort.
