title: Effectiveness of physical training on physical performance in patients with dermatomyositis and polymyositis: systematic review and meta-analysis

description: ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the impact of physical training on physical performance in patients with dermatomyositis and polymyositis. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis according to the guidelines of PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). The literature search was conducted in the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science, using combinations of the following keywords in English: dermatomyositis OR polymyositis OR myositis AND exercise OR physical exercise OR physical therapy OR aerobic exercise OR endurance exercise OR resistance exercise. Studies that met the following criteria were included: (1) participants diagnosed with dermatomyositis or polymyositis; (2) patients that undergone a physical training protocol; (3) physical performance measured before and after the physical training protocol. A total of 14 articles were selected for inclusion in the systematic review and 10 articles were selected for inclusion in the meta-analysis. The outcomes demonstrate that physical training is effective in increasing overall physical performance in patients with dermatomyositis and polymyositis (effect size: 0.72; 95% CI 0.55; 0.89). Also, our study demonstrated that both the aerobic performance (effect size: 0.88; 95% CI 0.54; 1.21) and resistance performance variables (effect size: 0.64; CI 95% 0.43; 0.85) benefit from physical training in these patients. We concluded that physical training had a significant beneficial effect on the overall, aerobic and resistance physical performance in patients with dermatomyositis and polymyositis.

title: Impact of the manual lymphatic drainage on symptoms related to lower-extremity edema in pregnant women

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to analyze the effects of manual lymphatic drainage on symptoms related to gestational edema in the lower limbs, such a sensation of heaviness, pain, swelling, and tingling, as well as on perimetry. The sample consisted of 23 pregnant women with gestational age above 26 weeks, who were submitted to 35 sessions of drainage based on Leduc’s method upon the authorization of their physicians. Participants with blood pressure above 140/100 mmHg at the time of drainage and presenting with skin continuity wound, heart disease, dermatological disease, lymphatic disease, infections, and voluminous or symptomatic varicose veins were excluded from the study. Symptoms were evaluated immediately and two hours after drainage by means of questionnaires. Improvements in pain (p=0.001*), tingling (p=0.01*), sensation of heaviness (p=0.000*), and swelling (p=0.000*) showed statistically significant differences before, immediately after, and two hours after intervention. Most perimetry measurements also presented a decrease after treatment. The technique of manual lymphatic drainage is very important to provide well-being and a better quality of life in pregnant women. The benefits arising from such a method are essential to decrease anxiety, enduring up until childbirth.

title: Cross-cultural adaptation for Brazilian Portuguese and measurement properties of sexual function questionnaires for women: a systematic review

description: ABSTRACT This article aims to list questionnaires used to assess female sexual function, as well as to analyze the cross-cultural adaptation process for Brazilian Portuguese and the measurement properties tested. Search strategies were performed in the PubMed, Embase, CINAHL and LILACS databases, using words in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Based on the inclusion criteria, data about the translation, cross-cultural adaptation, and measurement properties of each eligible questionnaire were extracted. The measurement properties reported were evaluated by two evaluators using the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) checklist. The search returned a total of 46,987 studies, of which 131 were read in full, and only 12 were included in the review. Of the seven instruments that assess female sexual function found only three had their psychometric properties evaluated as good, with the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) being the most validated instrument for different clinical populations. There is a need to improve the validated versions of sexual dysfunction assessment instruments for the female population throughout their life cycle.

title: Dynamical stability of post-stroke volunteers during soccer headers simulated by a digital game

description: ABSTRACT Postural stability is a goal of physical therapy treatment which can be achieved by bilateral weight transfer exercises. Digital games come as an alternative to performing these exercises, and their evaluation still needs improvement. We proposed using biomechanical variables to assess postural stability behavior. We aimed to investigate dynamic postural stability during soccer headers simulated by a digital game with different speed requirements. For this, 16 post-stroke volunteers (12 men and 4 women with a mean age of 56 years) and 16 healthy volunteers, paired by sex and age, participated in the experimental collection, in which they were subjected to the digital game “Cabeceio” (Soccer Heading), which has five speed levels, from slowest to the fastest, lasting 30 seconds each. From the kinematic signals, we could estimate our indicators of interest: the area of the base of support and the margin of stability, the latter defined as the smallest distance between the edges of the base of support and the vertical projection of the extrapolated CM, considering CM speed. The values of the base of support failed to differ between game speed levels, but did so between groups. The margin of stability failed to differ between levels and groups. The speed levels of the game possibly failed to encourage volunteers to pursue different strategies to maintain dynamic stability, such as taking a step. Although they maintained different support bases, post-stroke individuals adopted a smaller base of support than healthy ones.

title: Predictive equations for ventilatory muscle strength in the Brazilian population: a systematic review

description: ABSTRACT Maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP and MEP) assess the strength index of the respiratory muscles. These measures are relevant to assess respiratory muscle strength and for clinical monitoring. This study evaluates papers that suggest predictive equations of MIP and MEP for the Brazilian population. We included studies that established prediction equations for MIP and MEP for the healthy Brazilian population, aged from 4 to 90 years old, both men and women and that had the maximum respiratory pressures measured in a sitting position. A search was carried out in March 2020 on MEDLINE, LILACS, Cochrane, SciELO, CINAHL, Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases, without date or language filters. The descriptors used were “muscle strength,” “equations,” “predictive respiratory muscles” and their respective synonyms. Out of the 3,920 studies found in databases, 963 were duplicates, 2,779 were excluded, 178 had their full texts analyzed, and only 9 met the inclusion criteria. The predictive equations of ventilatory muscle strength analyzed in this review used age, weight, and stature as variables. However, the studies showed methodological weaknesses, such as lack of cross-validation of the equation, exclusion of outliers, and lack of familiarization of MIP and MEP.

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.
