Pacientes com doença renal crônica (DRC) submetidos ao treinamento resistido durante a hemodiálise apresentam benefícios substanciais dos sistemas muscular e cardiovascular, da capacidade funcional e da sua qualidade de vida. Entretanto, as melhorias na reatividade pressórica ainda não estão bem esclarecidas. O objetivo foi analisar o efeito do treino resistido na melhora da capacidade funcional e da reatividade pressórica em pacientes hemodialisados, em Natal/RN no ano de 2014. Trata-se de um ensaio clínico controlado e randomizado, com amostra de 64 pacientes, com média de idade de 42,28 (±11,48) anos, distribuídos em grupo experimental (GE) e controle (GC). Para mensurar os ganhos de força de membros inferiores foram utilizados os testes de sentar e levantar e de levantar e caminhar, já para a reatividade pressórica o teste cold pressor, em ambos os grupos antes e após a intervenção. Além disso, apenas o GE participou do treinamento resistido durante a hemodiálise em 16 semanas, composto por 3 sessões semanais, 3 séries de 10 repetições máximas (RM) estimadas (para extensores de joelho e flexores de quadril e joelho), entre 50 a 70% de 10 RM. Para a intensidade do treinamento foi utilizada a escala de Borg entre 11 a 14 durante as seções. Os dados foram analisados utilizando o Teste t para amostras independentes (inter-grupos) bem como para comparar a diferença das médias nos grupos pré e pós-intervenção (intra-grupos) a partir do Teste t para amostras repetidas. Para todas as variáveis foi considerada a significância estatística de 5% executados no software SPSS® 20.0. O estudo foi aprovado pelo comitê de ética do Hospital Universitário Onofre Lopes (HUOL - UFRN) número 37992214.2.0000.5292. Após a intervenção, verificou-se que os pacientes do GE tiveram um desempenho melhor nos testes de força (p<0,001) em comparação ao GC. Resultado também observado na pressão arterial sistólica e diastólica (PAS e PAD) ambas de repouso que apresentaram redução dos níveis pressóricos apenas no GE (p<0,001). Na reatividade pressórica tanto nos períodos pré bem como após 2 minutos também demonstraram reduções estatisticamente significativas do GE (p<0,001 e p=0,012) respectivamente quando comparado ao GC. Conclui-se que o treinamento resistido melhorou desempenho nos testes de força de membros inferiores beneficiando a capacidade funcional dos pacientes em hemodiálise, como também a pressão arterial de repouso e os níveis de reatividade pressórica obtiveram reduções significativas de seus valores após a intervenção. Além disso, este tipo de treinamento também pode ser utilizado como uma estratégia de proteção aos fatores de risco cardiovascular em pacientes renais crônicos.

The great interest in nonlinear system identification is mainly due to the fact that a large amount of real systems are complex and need to have their nonlinearities considered so that their models can be successfully used in applications of control, prediction, inference, among others. This work evaluates the application of Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Networks (FWNN) to identify nonlinear dynamical systems subjected to noise and outliers. Generally, these elements cause negative effects on the identification procedure, resulting in erroneous interpretations regarding the dynamical behavior of the system. The FWNN combines in a single structure the ability to deal with uncertainties of fuzzy logic, the multiresolution characteristics of wavelet theory and learning and generalization abilities of the artificial neural networks. Usually, the learning procedure of these neural networks is realized by a gradient based method, which uses the mean squared error as its cost function. This work proposes the replacement of this traditional function by an Information Theoretic Learning similarity measure, called correntropy. With the use of this similarity measure, higher order statistics can be considered during the FWNN training process. For this reason, this measure is more suitable for non-Gaussian error distributions and makes the training less sensitive to the presence of outliers. In order to evaluate this replacement, FWNN models are obtained in two identification case studies: a real nonlinear system, consisting of a multisection tank, and a simulated system based on a model of the human knee joint. The results demonstrate that the application of correntropy as the error backpropagation algorithm cost function makes the identification procedure using FWNN models more robust to outliers. However, this is only achieved if the gaussian kernel width of correntropy is properly adjusted.

Introduction: Kinesio Taping (KT) has been used in healthy people to improve neuromuscular performance, however, few studies have evaluated its chronic effects, despite being suggested. Objective: To analyze the chronic effects of KT on neuromuscular performance of the quadriceps, the oscillation of the center of pressure and lower limb function in healthy women. Methods: blinded, randomized, controlled trial, composed of 60 women (mean age 21.9 ± 3.3 years and BMI 22.3 ± 2.2 kg / m2) submitted to the evaluation of oscillation of the center of pressure through the baropodometry, the lower limb function by the hop test, isokinetic knee performance, the electromyographic activity of the vastus lateralis (VL) and joint position sense of the knee (JPS). Then, participants were randomly divided into three groups of twenty: control - did not apply the KT; placebo - application of KT without tension on the quadriceps; Kinesio Taping - application of KT with tension in the same muscle group. The evaluations were conducted in five moments: prior to application of KT, immediately after the application, 24h, 48h after application and 24 hours after its removal (72h). SPSS 20.0 was used for statistical analysis. The KS test was used to verify the data normality, the Levene test for homogeneity of variances and a mixed-model ANOVA 3x5 to check intra and inter-group differences. Results: there was no difference in peak torque, the power, nor the electromyographic activity or SPA (p> 0.05) between groups. The displacement speed of center of pressure reduced immediately after the application on kinesio taping group (p <0.001), but with no differences between the groups (p = 0.28). There was a reduction in the time of peak torque among the three groups in the evaluations after KT application (p <0.001) and an increase in single hop in all groups (p <0.001), but with no differences between them. Conclusion: KT can not change, in a chronic way, the lower limb function, the oscillation of the center of pressure, the isokinetic performance, the JPS of the knee and the electromyographic activity of VL muscle in healthy women.

Objective: to investigate the immediate effect of the vibrating platform on the neuromuscular performance of the quadriceps femoris and on the postural oscillation of subjects submitted to Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Materials and methods: this study is a randomized and blind clinical trial. Forty-four male volunteers (average age of 27,4 ±6,2 IMC of 26,85± 3,8 Kg/m² and post surgery timeframe of 17± 1,4 weeks) were randomized into two groups: OFF platform (n=22, protocol of exercise over the vibrating platform off) and ON platform (n=22 protocol of exercise over the vibrating platform on, 50Hz frequency and 4mm of amplitude). All volunteers were submitted to assessment the isokinetic evaluation of the quadriceps femoris (isometric and isokinetic at 60°/s) and of the electromyography activity of the muscles Vasto Lateralis (VL) and Vasto Medialis (VM), besides the postural oscillation (baropodometry) in two distinct moments: before and immediately after the intervention protocol. The data was analyzed through the SPSS 20.0 software, with a 5% significance level. To verify the homogeneity of the groups it was used an ANOVA one way, and a ANOVA mixed model to compare the intra and inter groups. Results: it was observed differences between the pre and the post, to latero lateral velocity, isometric torque peak and total work in comparison with intragroup. However, it wasn’t verified any difference in comparing the intergroup in the preevaluation and in the post-evaluation protocol over the vibrating platform. Conclusion: the use of the vibrating platform doesn’t change as an immediate manner the isokinetic performance of the quadriceps femoris, the electromyography activity of the VL and the VM, also doesn’t interfere with the postural oscillation of individuals that were submitted to the ACL reconstruction.

Introduction: Gait after stroke is characterized by a significant asymmetry between the lower limbs, with predominant use of the non-paretic lower limb (NPLL) over using the paretic lower limb. Accordingly, it has been suggested that adding load/weight to the NPLL as a form of restricting the movement of this limb may favor the use of the paretic limb, reducing interlimb asymmetry. However, few studies have been conducted up to this moment, which only investigated the immediate effects of this practice. Objectives: 1) Investigating whether there is an influence of adding load to the NPLL during treadmill training on cardiovascular parameters and on gait performance of individuals with stroke, compared to treadmill training without load addition; 2) Analyzing the effects of treadmill training with and without load added to the NPLL on kinematic parameters of each lower limb during gait; 3) Analyzing the effects of treadmill training with and without load added to the NPLL on measurements of functional mobility and postural balance of these patients. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized single blinded clinical trial involving 38 subjects, with a mean age of 56.5 years, at the subacute post-stroke phase (with mean time since stroke of 4.5 months). Participants were randomly assigned into an experimental group (EG) or control group (CG). EG (n= 19) was submitted to gait training on a treadmill with the addition of load to the NPLL by ankle weights equivalent to 5% of body weight. CG (n= 19) was only submitted to gait training on a treadmill. Behavioral strategies which included home exercises were also applied to both groups. The interventions occurred daily for two consecutive weeks (Day 1 to Day 9), being of 30 minutes duration each. Outcome measures: postural balance (Berg Functional Balance Scale – BBS), functional mobility (Timed Up and Go – TUG; kinematic variables of 180° turning) and kinematic gait variables were assessed at baseline (Day 0), after four training sessions (Day 4), after nine training sessions (Day 9), and 40 days after completion of training (Follow-up). Cardiovascular parameters (mean arterial pressure and heart rate) were evaluated at four moments within each training session. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare outcomes between EG and CG in the course of the study (Day 0, Day 4, Day 9 and Follow-up). Unpaired t-tests allowed for intergroup comparison at each training session. 5% significance was used for all tests. Results: 1) Cardiovascular parameters (systemic arterial pressure, heart rate and derivated variables) did not change after the interventions and there were no differences between groups within each training session. There was an improvement in gait performance, with increased speed and distance covered, with no statistically significant difference between groups. 2) After the interventions, patients had increased paretic and non-paretic step lengths, in addition to exhibiting greater hip and knee joint excursion on both lower limbs. The gains were observed in the EG and CG, with no statistical difference between the groups and (mostly) maintained at follow-up. 3) After the interventions, patients showed better postural balance (higher scores on BBS) and functional mobility (reduced time spent on the TUG test and better performance on the 180° turning). All gains were observed in the EG and CG, with no statistically significant difference between groups and were maintained at follow-up. Conclusions: The addition of load to the NPLL did not affect cardiovascular parameters in patients with subacute stroke, similar to treadmill training without load, thus seemingly a safe training to be applied to these patients. However, the use of the load did not bring any additional benefits to gait training. The gait training program (nine training sessions on a treadmill + strategies and exercises for paretic limb stimulation) was useful for improving gait performance and kinematics, functional mobility and postural balance, and its use is suggested to promote the optimization of these outcomes in the subacute phase after stroke.

Data variability analysis has been the focus of a number of studies seeking to capture differences of patterns generated by biological systems. Although several studies related to gait employ the analysis of variability in their observations, we noticed a lack of such information for subjects with unilateral coxarthrosis undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). To tackle this deficiency of information, we conducted a study of the gait on a treadmill with10 healthy subjects (30.7 ± 6.75 years old) from G1 and 24 subjects (65 ± 8.5 years old) with unilateral THA from G2. Thus, by means of two inertial measurement units (IMUs) positioned in the pelvis, we have developed a detection method of the step and stride for calculating these intervals and extract the signal characteristics. The variability analysis (coefficient of variation) was performed, taking into consideration the extracted features and the step and stride times. The average and the 95% confidence interval estimate for the average of the step and stride times to each group were in agreement with literature. The mean coefficient of variation for the step and stride times was calculated and compared among groups by the Kruskal-Wallis test with 95% confidence interval. Each component X, Y and Z of the two IMUs (accelerometer, magnetometer and gyroscope) corresponded to a variable. The resultants of each sensor, the linear velocity (accelerometers) and the instantaneous angular displacement (gyroscopes) completed the set of variables. The characteristics were extracted from the signals of these variables to check the variability in the G1 and G2 groups . There were significant differences (p <0.05) between G1 and G2 for the average of the step and stride times. The variability of the step and stride, as well as the variability of all other evaluated characteristics were higher for the group G2 (p <0.05). The method proposed in this study proved to be suitable for the measuring of variability of biomechanical parameters related to the extracted features. All the extracted features categorized the groups. The G2 group showed greater variability, so it is possible that the age and the pathological condition of the hip both contributed to this result.

Introdução: Na prática diária, os clínicos necessitam apenas de uma fração das categorias encontradas na CIF. No conflito entre a generalização e a necessidade de captar detalhes, a CIF deve ser adaptada às perspetivas e necessidades de diferentes utilizadores. Esta necessidade surge como a principal motivação por detrás do projeto dos Core Sets, que tem como objetivo extrair uma seleção de categorias de toda a classificação que são relevantes para condições específicas de saúde. Após o desenvolvimento da primeira versão dos Core Sets da CIF para a OA, os autores realçaram a importância desta ser testada sob a perspetiva de diferentes profissionais, em diferentes países e ainda segundo a perspetiva dos indivíduos. Objetivos: Identificar os problemas percecionados pelos indivíduos com OA, da região centro de Portugal e verificar em que medida estes aspetos se encontram compreendidos no Comprehensive e Brief Core Set da CIF, para esta condição de saúde. Metodologia: Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo, recorrendo a uma amostra de conveniência, indivíduos com OA no joelho e/ou anca. A recolha de dados consistiu em entrevistas individuais, e o seu processamento foi efetuado segundo o protocolo de Coenen (2008). Resultados: Foram incluídos 20 indivíduos, perfazendo uma média de idades de 69,65 (±9,8) anos, dos quais 9 são mulheres e 11 homens. Foram identificadas 34 das 55 categorias contempladas no Comprehensive Core Set da CIF e 9 das 12 categorias do Brief Core Set da CIF, 61,82% e 75%, respetivamente. Conclusões: Tendo em conta os resultados, conclui-se que os Comprehensive e Brief Core Sets da CIF para a OA abrangem a perspetiva da população portuguesa, contudo não contemplam alguns dos problemas percecionados pelos indivíduos. Além disso, ainda se verifica que integra algumas categorias não relevantes para esta população.

A deficiência visual (DV) é uma limitaçao sensorial que pode comprometer o desenvolvimento motor, afetivo, social e cognitivo do ser humano. No mundo esta limitaçao acomete 39 milhoes de pessoas. No Brasil, existem aproximadamente 6,5 milhoes de DV. O treinamento funcional trabalha de forma integrada, por meio de movimentos multiarticulares e multiplanares que envolvem o sistema proprioceptivo, estando relacionado com a sensaçao de movimento (sinestesia) e posiçao articular. Desta forma, o objetivo desse estudo foi analisar os efeitos do treinamento funcional na propriocepçao de deficientes visuais. O programa de treinamento teve duraçao de 12 semanas, com sessoes bi-semanais das quais participaram oito indivíduos, cinco com baixa visao e três com cegueira total. A avaliaçao da propriocepçao de membros superiores foi realizada com um cinesiômetro, e a avaliaçao de membros inferiores foi realizada com a fixaçao de um flexímetro na articulaçao do joelho do membro dominante do participante. Os resultados evidenciaram melhoras discretas para dois ângulos de membros superiores, porém nos membros inferiores a margem de erro foi bem inferior que nos membros superiores

Hallux rígidus (HR) affects the first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) between 35% and 60% of the population over 65 years and there are multiple ways of treatment. Depending on the radiological stage where you find the deformity determines the procedure to be performed; in the early stages cheilectomy techniques and corrective osteotomy is performed while the more advanced ratings, the surgeon chooses destructive techniques considered as arthrodesis and arthroplasty. This final of degree project aims to focus on 1 MTPJ destructive techniques to clarify which of the procedures generates better results by a number of parameters; outcomes of the American Orthopaedic Foot scale and Ankle Society Hallux metatarsophalangeal Interphalangeal-scale (AOFAS), range of motion (ROM) of the 1ºAMTF, radiological classification. As for the implant arthroplasty technique, this article offers information on material and design that generates better relating to patient characteristics such as age, inflammatory joint diseases, viability and durability of the implant results. The conclusion from this review is that the values obtained in the arthrodesis according AOFAS decrease due to loss of mobility, but both techniques have similar values of effectiveness and concludes with the decision that the technique used is determined taking into account various factors and patient characteristics. Keywords: Hallux rígidus; (Hallux Rígidus) and surgery treatment; Hallux Rígidus arthrodesis; Hallux Rígidus arthroplasty; Hallux Rígidus (arthroplasty and arthrodesis).

Um dos fenómenos marcantes desde os meados do século XX até aos dias de hoje é o processo de envelhecimento das sociedades a nível mundial (Moura, 2006). Envelhecer de forma saudável e com boa qualidade de vida é algo que todas a pessoas desejam, mas muitas vezes o envelhecimento é acompanhado por diferentes tipos de alterações que poderão provocar alterações da qualidade de vida do idoso. A investigação científica acerca da relação entre a qualidade de vida do idoso com coxartrose e o impacto da artroplastia total da anca é ainda um tema recente. Assim esta investigação tem como objetivo avaliar a perceção da qualidade de vida dos idosos com coxartrose, antes da cirurgia da artroplastia total da anca, e avaliar a perceção da qualidade de vida dos idosos após o sexto mês da artroplastia total da anca. Procedeu-se assim a um estudo de natureza descritivo, longitudinal e de abordagem quantitativa, com 35 utentes idosos que foram submetidos a artroplastia total da anca por patologia de coxartrose. Foi utilizado como instrumento de recolha de dados o questionário genérico de qualidade de saúde SF-36 no dia antes da cirurgia e após 6 meses da artroplastia total da anca e um questionário de forma a fazer uma caracterização sócio - demográfica da amostra. Verifica-se que a perceção da qualidade de vida dos idosos com coxartrose, antes da cirurgia da artroplastia total da anca é limitada em várias dimensões como função física desempenho físico, dor corporal, perceção geral de saúde, vitalidade, função social, desempenho emocional, saúde mental e transição de saúde. Após o sexto mês da artroplastia total da anca, a perceção da qualidade de vida dos idosos apresenta-se na maioria dos sujeitos melhorada.

Background: Hamstring strain injuries (HSI) are one of the most common injuries in a wide variety of running-sports, resulting in a considerable loss of competition and training time. One of the most problematic consequences regarding HSI is the recurrence rate and its non-decrease over the past decades, despite increasing evidence. Recent studies also found several maladaptations post-HSI probably due to neuromuscular inhibition and it has been proposed that these adaptations post-injury may contribute as risk factors for the injury-reinjury cycle and high recurrence rates. Furthermore it has been recently proposed not to disregard the inter-relationship between these adaptations and risk-factors post-injury in order to better understand the mechanisms of this complex injury. Objective: To determine, analyze and correlate neuromuscular adaptations in amateur football players with prior history of HSI per comparison to uninjured athletes in similar conditions. Methodology: Every participant was subjected to isokinetic concentric (60 and 240deg.sec) and eccentric (30 and 120deg.sec¯¹) testing, and peak torque, angle of peak torque and hamstrings to quadriceps (H:Q) conventional ratios were measured, myoelectrical activity of Bicep Femoris (BF) and Medial Hamstrings (MH) were also measured during isokinetic eccentric testing at both velocities and muscle activation percentages were calculated at 30, 50 and 100ms after onset of contraction. Furthermore active and passive knee extension, knee joint position sense (JPS) test, triple-hop distance (THD) test and core stability (flexors and extensors endurance, right and left side bridge test) were used and correlated. Results: Seventeen players have participated in this study: 10 athletes with prior history of HSI, composing the Hamstring injury group (HG) and 7 athletes without prior severe injuries as control group (CG). We found statistical significant differences between HG injured and uninjured sides in the BF myoelectrical activity at almost all times in both velocities and between HG injured and CG non-dominant sides at 100ms in eccentric 120deg.sec¯¹ velocity (p<.05). We found no differences in MH activity. Regarding proprioception we found differences between the HG injured and uninjured sides (p=.027). We found no differences in the rest of used tests. However, significant correlation between myoelectrical activation at 100ms in 120deg.sec¯¹ testing and JPS with initial position at 90º (r-.372; p=0.031) was found, as well as between isokinetic H:Q ratio at 240deg.sec and THD score (r=-.345; p=.045). Conclusion: We found significant differences that support previous research regarding neuromuscular adaptations and BF inhibition post-HSI. Moreover, to our knowledge, this was the first study that found correlation between these adaptations, and may open a door to new perspectives and future studies.
