JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: A Síndrome Dolorosa Complexa Regional (SDCR), assim denominada a partir de 1994 pelo Consenso da Associação Internacional para o Estudo da Dor (AIED) e anteriormente denominada de várias formas, tais como Distrofia Simpático Reflexa, Causalgia, Algodistrofia ou Atrofia de Sudeck, é uma doença cuja compreensão dos limites clínicos, fisiopatologia e implicações de patogenia ainda é pobre. Disto resulta a enorme insatisfação não só para os pacientes como para os profissionais da saúde quanto aos métodos terapêuticos atualmente disponíveis. O objetivo deste trabalho é rever a literatura e atualizar um conjunto de informações com o intuito da melhor compreensão desta importante síndrome dolorosa. CONTEÚDO: Este é um trabalho de revisão da literatura nos diversos aspectos da SDCR, com ênfase em suas causas, definição e taxonomia, fisiopatologia, características clínicas, testes diagnósticos e propostas de tratamentos mais recentes. CONCLUSÕES: Poucos são os estudos controlados adequadamente, encobertos e aleatórios, publicados com grandes amostras, havendo muitas dúvidas sobre esta doença. Desta forma, ainda há enorme empirismo na sua terapêutica, e os resultados obtidos são insatisfatórios.

INTRODUÇÃO: A síndrome de dor femoropatelar (SDFP) é um problema comum que afeta uma em cada quatro pessoas. A alteração no tempo de ativação e a intensidade de contração dos músculos vasto medial oblíquo (VMO) e vasto lateral (VL) são consideradas fatores importantes na etiologia da SDFP. No entanto, existem poucos estudos sobre a função da porção oblíqua do vasto lateral (VLO) e nenhum sobre o tempo de ativação (onset) do VLO em atividades funcionais em sujeitos normais e com SDFP. OBJETIVO: Assim, o objetivo do estudo foi investigar o tempo de início de atividade eletromiográfica nos músculos VMO, VLO e VL longo (VLL) durante a marcha. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: A amostra foi formada por 15 sujeitos sem e 12 com SDFP. Dados eletromiográficos foram obtidos dos músculos VMO, VLL e VLO durante caminhada na esteira sem inclinação. A diferença relativa no onset (DRO) entre VMO-VLL e VMO-VLO foi determinada a partir da média de três passadas. RESULTADOS: Houve diferença entre os sujeitos com e sem SDFP em relação à DRO entre VMO-VLL. Nos sujeitos com SDFP, a ordem de início da atividade elétrica foi VLL seguida por VLO e após VMO. Nos indivíduos sem a patologia, a ordem foi diferente: primeiro VMO após VLO e, por último, VLL. CONCLUSÃO: Os achados sugerem que a ativação do VMO após o VLL poderia auxiliar no desenvolvimento e na manutenção da SDFP, enquanto o tempo de ativação do VLO possui menor participação.

Evaluation of the prevalence and characteristics of tinnitus in a Brazilian series of sleep bruxism patients. In this descriptive study, 100 patients (80 women and 20 men) were selected through the self-report of grinding teeth during sleep, confirmed by room mate or family member. They were evaluated according to a systematized approach: a questionnaire for orofacial pain and the Portuguese version of the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders. The patients were divided into two groups: group A, 54 patients with complaint of tinnitus and group B, 46 patients without tinnitus complaint. The mean age was 37.85 (13-66 years) and 34.02 years (20-59 years), respectively, for groups A and B (P = 0.1164). There was statistically significant difference between the two groups, with higher prevalence for the group A, in relation to: presence of chronic facial pain (P = 0.0007); number of areas painful to palpation in the masticatory and cervical muscles (P = 0.0032); myofascial pain in the masticatory muscles (P = 0.0003); absence of teeth without prosthetic replacement (P = 0.0145) and indices of depression (P = 0.0234). Structural alterations of the TMJ, like disc displacement and vertical dimension loss did not differ for the two groups. Tinnitus frequency was higher in patients with sleep bruxism and chronic facial pain. Myofascial pain, number of areas painful to palpation in the masticatory and cervical muscles, higher levels of depression and tooth absence without prosthetic replacement were more frequent in the group with tinnitus.

Objective: To seek better understanding of chronic musculoskeletal facial pain and its relation to sleep bruxism, by comparing patients with sleep bruxism, with and without temporomandibular disorder. Design: Forty sleep bruxism patients were evaluated according to the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: group A-20 patients with myofascial pain, 3 men, 17 women; average age 32.7 yr; mean duration of pain 4.37 yr; group B-20 without myofascial pain, 5 men, 15 women; average age 30.8 yr. Sleep and bruxism were evaluated in one-night polysomnography. Results: There were no statistically significant differences for bruxism and sleep variables of the two groups: number of bursts and bruxism episodes per hour, amplitude and duration of bruxism episodes, sleep efficiency and latency, percentage of non-REM and REM sleep, respiratory events, periodic limb movements, and micro-arousals. Conclusions: The polysomnographic characteristics of patients with sleep bruxism, with and without orofacial pain, are similar. More studies are necessary to clarify the reasons why some sleep bruxism patients develop chronic myofascial pain, and others do not. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is defined as a retropatellar or anterior knee pain, without another disease. It affects until 25% of the population, being more common in women and trained persons. As others pathologies, PFPS have been affected the training of elite and amateurs athletes. Thereby, the general purpose of this study was discuss the occurrence of PFPS as a sports injury, there prevention possibilities and the appropriate recovery training after injury. It had been developed a literature review addressing the specific characteristics of the syndrome, its diagnosis, its target population, its development, how it affects the training and which are their possibilities of prevention and treatment. © FTCD/FIP-MOC.

O objetivo deste estudo foi buscar um melhor entendimento sobre a dor músculo-esquelética crônica da face e sua relação com o bruxismo do sono. Quarenta pacientes foram avaliados de acordo com o Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders: Grupo A - 20 pacientes com DTM, com média de idade de 32,7 anos e duração média da dor de 4,37 anos; Grupo B - 20 pacientes sem DTM, com média de idade de 30,8 anos. As variáveis do sono e do bruxismo foram avaliadas em exame polissonográfico. As características clínicas foram estatisticamente diferentes entre os dois grupos: o grupo A apresentou maior freqüência de auto-relato de dor matinal (p=0,0113) e estalido articular (p=0,0269), maior grau de sintomas físicos não específicos (p=0,001) e de limitações da função mandibular (p=0,001). Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa para as variáveis do bruxismo: número de episódios de bruxismo por hora, número de surtos por episódio e por hora, duração total, porcentagem em cada estágio do sono, tipo e amplitude dos episódios. A arquitetura do sono mostrou-se dentro dos parâmetros de normalidade, sem nenhuma diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os dois grupos. Conclusões: as características clínicas dos pacientes com bruxismo do sono, com e sem DTM, são diferentes, mas as características do sono e do bruxismo são similares. Mais estudos são necessários para esclarecer as razões pelas quais alguns pacientes com bruxismo do sono desenvolvem dor milfascial crônica e outros não.

Stair climbing is a functional activity often cited as main complaint by patients with orthopedic – as patellofemoral pain syndrome – or neurologic alterations. Moreover, the stair climbing is usually used as therapeutic resource. However, few studies have been conducted to characterize the movement during the ascent or descent of stairs and these studies concluded that the high variability of the data could not confirm the results [Yu, 1997] . In this way, this study aimed to verify which parameters show less variation and so, are more appropriate to characterize the stair climbing.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the use MRI to quantify the workload of gluteus medius (GM), vastus medialis (VM) and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles in different types of squat exercises. Fourteen female volunteers were evaluated, average age of 22 +/- 2 years, sedentary, without clinical symptoms, and without history of previous lower limb injuries. Quantitative MRI was used to analyze VM, VL and GM muscles before and after squat exercise, squat associated with isometric hip adduction and squat associated with isometric hip abduction. Multi echo images were acquired to calculate the transversal relaxation times (T2) before and after exercise. Mixed Effects Model statistical analysis was used to compare images before and after the exercise (Delta T2) to normalize the variability between subjects. Imaging post processing was performed in Matlab software. GM muscle was the least active during the squat associated with isometric hip adduction and VM the least active during the squat associated with isometric hip abduction, while VL was the most active during squat associated with isometric hip adduction. Our data suggests that isometric hip adduction during the squat does not increase the workload of VM, but decreases the GM muscle workload. Squat associated with isometric hip abduction does not increase VL workload.

BALDON, R. D. M., D. F. M. LOBATO, L. P. CARVALHO, P. Y. L. WUN, P. R. P. SANTIAGO, and F. V. SERRAO. Effect of Functional Stabilization Training on Lower Limb Biomechanics in Women. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 44, No. 1, pp. 135-145, 2012. Purpose: This study aimed to verify the effects of functional stabilization training on lower limb kinematics, functional performance, and eccentric hip and knee torques. Methods: Twenty-eight women were divided into a training group (TG; n = 14), which carried out the functional stabilization training during 8 wk, and a control group (CG; n = 14), which carried out no physical training. The kinematic assessment of the lower limb was performed during a single-leg squat, and the functional performance was evaluated by way of the single-leg triple hop and the timed 6-m single-leg hop tests. The eccentric hip abductor, adductor, lateral rotator, medial rotator, and the knee flexor and extensor torques were measured using an isokinetic dynamometer. Results: After 8 wk, the TG significantly reduced the values for knee abduction (from -6.86 degrees to 1.49 degrees), pelvis depression (from -10.21 degrees to -7.86 degrees) and femur adduction (from 7.08 degrees to 5.19 degrees) as well as increasing the excursion of femur lateral rotation (from -0.55 degrees to -3.67 degrees). Similarly, the TG significantly increased the values of single-leg triple hop (from 3.52 to 3.92 m) and significantly decreased the values of timed 6-m single-leg hop tests (from 2.43 to 2.14 s). Finally, the TG significantly increased the eccentric hip abductor (from 1.31 to 1.45 N center dot m center dot kg(-1)), hip lateral rotator (from 0.75 to 0.91 N center dot m center dot kg(-1)), hip medial rotator (from 1.45 to 1.66 N center dot m center dot kg(-1)), knee flexor (from 1.43 to 1.55 N center dot m center dot kg(-1)), and knee extensor (from 3.46 to 4.40 N center dot m center dot kg(-1)) torques. Conclusions: Strengthening of the hip abductor and lateral rotator muscles associated with functional training improves dynamic lower limb alignment and increases the strength and functional performance.
