Escassez de evidencias nos resultados do RPG em tratamentos fisioterapeuticos .[ General postural rehabilitation in musculoskeletal diseases: scientific evidence and clinical indications].Review articleVanti C, et al. Reumatismo. 2007 Jul-Sep.Show full citationAbstractSeveral studies on the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases with physiotherapy and clinical experiences on the basis of a method called Reeducation Posturale Globale (RPG), have highlighted the usefulness of this treatment. Although such treatment technique is commonly used in physical therapy practice, only few studies support its therapeutic effectiveness.OBJECTIVE: To search the literature for evidence of RPG effectiveness, in order to identify the most appropriate therapeutic contexts for its use.METHODS: A review of the literature through the following databases: PubMed, Embase, Cinahl, Pedro, and Medscape. The keywords used for the search in the databases are: Reeducation Posturale Globale, Souchard, Posture, and Manual Therapy. The following clinical studies were selected: randomized controlled studies, non-randomized controlled studies, observation studies, and case reports, in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.RESULTS: Out of 18 studies found, 9 were analyzed: 2 randomized controlled studies, 2 non-randomized controlled studies, 3 non-controlled studies, and 2 case reports.CONCLUSIONS: The RPG method has been shown to be an effective treatment technique for musculoskeletal diseases, in particular for ankylosing spondylitis, acute and chronic low back pain, and lumbar discherniation. Although the scarcity of rigorous experimental trials on a large scale does not allow the drawing of undisputable conclusions, the results gathered up to now are an encouragement to carry on research in the field of conservative treatment. Effects of exercise on pain of musculoskeletal disorders: a systematic review. Autores: Rodrigues EV,Gomes AR,Tanhoffer AI,Leite N Revista: Acta Ortop Bras (Acta ortopedica brasileira). Idioma: InglesVolume: 22 Edicao: 6 Paginas: 334-8 Data: 2014Work related musculoskeletal disorders are a major concern for public health and pain is the most important symptom. The aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of workplace exercises to control musculoskeletal pain and its frequency, intensity, duration and type of exercises used. The search was conducted systematically in Medline, Pubmed, Embase, Bireme, Web of Knowledge and Pedro databases. The keywords \\\"workplace\\\", \\\"exercise\\\" and \\\"musculoskeletal disorders\\\" were used combined. Randomized control trials which performed worksite exercises were selected and the studies were assessed by their methodological soundness. Ten articles were selected which investigated the resistance training, cardio respiratory exercises, Pilates, stretching, postural orientation and exercises for relaxation. Workplace resistance training performed at 70-85% RM, three times a week for 20 minutes promotes reduction of the pain in shoulders, wrists, cervical, dorsal and lumbar spine. However, there is no consensus regarding the total duration of the intervention for the decrease of musculoskeletal pain in these regions.
