Contribuição da amplitude de movimento articular do joelho na marcha de crianças com paralisia cerebral espástica

Individuals with spastic cerebral palsy show muscle weakness, difficulties in the control of agonist and antagonist muscles, decreased range of motion and tonus and sensibility alterations, especially in knee joint. These problems can interfere on the performance of functional activities such gait. The aim of this study was to analyze the contribution of knee range of motion on gait of hemiplegic and diplegic children considering their asymmetries. Twelve children, 6 hemiplegics e 6 diplegics from 7 to 12 years of age (age average= 9,5 ± 1,93) took part. Spasticity was assessed by the Ashworth’s Modified Scale and the passive knee range of motion by an eletrogoniometer. The task was to walk on a walkway of 8m long, in their preferred speed, in 6 attempts, been 3 on right and 3 on left sagital planes. Eigth passive markers were bilaterally fixed for the kinematic record. Orthogonally to the walkway, two digital camcorders were assembled on the sagital plane. The fotogrametric procedures were performed by the Dvideow 6.3 software. The Matlab 7.0.1 software was used to filter and to calculate the dependent variables. The U test of Mann- Whitney found differences to the cerebral palsy type for knee extension/hiperextension (U = - 2.943; p= 0.003), knee relative angle at heel contact (U = - 5.992; p= 0.001) and knee range during stride (U = - 4.099; p= 0.001). The Wilcoxon’s test revealed differences according to the asymmetries for the hemiplegics only for the knee relative angle at heel contact (T= - 2.635; p<0.008). The contributions of passive knee range of motion, revealed by the Spearman correlations, for the more afected limb of the diplegics, showed that the knee extension/hiperextension interfere on the cadence, stride duration and step width; the knee relative angle at heel contact change the stride length and duration and cadence; and the...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Comportamento de indivíduos com doença de Parkinson no levantar da cadeira e no início da marcha: relações com o envelhecimento

Large motor dysfunctions are observed in older adults with the age advance. Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients have motor deficits to perform daily living activities. To raise from a chair, a daily task necessary to live independently, requires both large muscle recruitment and large joint range of motion to achieve the vertical position safely. Normally, we initiate gait after raise from a chair. The aim of this study was to analyze the PD patients’ behavior when rising from a chair and initiating gait and to compare it according to the age advance. In order to do that, 23 PD patients (66.61±7.64 years old) were distributed in three age groups: Young group, between 51 and 60 years of age (n=7); intermediary group, between 61 and 70 years of age (n=7); and elderly group, over 70 years of age (n=9). There were no statistical differences among groups either for the disease evolution stage or for it compromising. The task was to stand from a chair and to initiate gait forward in three attempts. The dependent variables were: spatial and temporal (first step length and duration, and stride length, duration and velocity) and angular (flexion and extension of head, shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle). The motion of standing from a chair was divided in two phases. The data was statistically treated by means of Analyses of Variance with group as the only factor. The Scheffé’s post hoc test was used to localize differences among groups and the significance level was adjusted to p≤0.017. There were statistical differences for stride...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Arquitetura Inclusiva: reabilitação da Escola para Deficientes Visuais de Presidente Prudente, SP

As edificações devem ser adequadas aos usos aos quais se destinam independente de serem públicas ou privadas, e devem ainda contemplar a mobilidade nos ambientes sem que haja riscos físicos ou quaisquer impedimentos que deneguem ou restrinjam a integridade da utilização e vivência das pessoas com deficiência. Neste sentido, este trabalho possui essa preocupação ao propor uma intervenção arquitetônica na Escola Especial para Deficientes Visuais “Prof. Faradei Boscoli” e Sede da Associação Filantrópica de Proteção aos Cegos (AFPC). Como existe um número considerável de deficientes visuais não só no município de Presidente Prudente como na região, verifica-se a importância do papel exercido por essa instituição, principalmente no âmbito da inclusão social. Assim, inicia uma investigação sobre a questão da deficiência visual relacionando a percepção dos indivíduos cegos e com baixa visão. Depois examina projetos arquitetônicos referenciais nessa área de estudo, bem como faz diagnóstico da situação existente da Escola. Na sequência, analisa o potencial do lugar e seu entorno urbano. Por conseguinte, a síntese das etapas anteriores estabelece diretrizes projetuais para apresentar ao final um projeto arquitetônico de reabilitação do espaço da escola/sede, a qual objetiva a melhoria no desempenho de suas funções e ampliação das mesmas. Desse modo, essa proposta visa constituir num auxílio na inclusão social das pessoas com deficiência visual, bem como contribuir no seu desenvolvimento pessoal

Análise cinemática da marcha livre e adaptativa de pacientes com doença de Parkinson e idosos sadios: efeito da dica auditiva

Disorders in gait are identified in Parkinson’s disease patients. As a result, the capacity of walking independently and the interaction with the environment can be impairment. So, the auditory cues have been utilized as a non-pharmacological treatment to improve the locomotor impairment of the PD patients. However, these effects were observed in the regular lands and it’s not known the effects of auditory cues in gait during avoidance obstacles that could be more threaten for these patients. Yet, few studies in the literature compare the Parkinson’s disease patients with the older adults during the locomotor tasks and obstacle avoidance in association with the effects of auditory cues. The aim of the study is to compare the effects of the auditory cues in the gait and during obstacle avoidance in PD patients and older adults. 30 subjects distributed in two groups (Group 1 - 15, Parkinson’s disease patients; Group 2 - 15, healthy older adults) are going to participate of this study. After the participation approval, the assessment of clinical condition will be done by a physician. So, to investigate the locomotor pattern, it will be done a kinematic analysis. The experimental task is to walk on 8 m pathway and 18 trials will be done (6 for the free gait and 12 for adaptive gait). For the adaptive gait, two different obstacle heights will be manipulated: high obstacle (HO) and low obstacle (LO). In order to verify possible differences between the groups and the experimental condition, multivariance tests will be used with a significance level of 0.05. MANOVA revealed effect of condition and task. Thus, with DA, we observed an increase in cadence and reduced single support and stride length. When the tasks were compared, it was observed that the LO task, subjects had lower velocity and stride length... 9Complete abstract click electronic access below)

Análise da evolução de pacientes com paralisia facial periférica submetidos a reabilitação

INTRODUÇÃO: A paralisia facial periférica (PFP) consiste no acometimento do sétimo nervo craniano, de forma aguda, podendo ser precedida por dor na região mastoidiana e resultando em paralisia completa ou parcial da mímica facial. É, na sua grande maioria, de causa idiopática ou apresenta diversas etiologias como diabetes mellitus, hipertensão arterial, herpes zoster, viroses, otites médias, infecções (lepra, sífilis, doença de Lyme), sarcoidose, traumatismo e tumores. Apesar da paralisia facial periférica ter sido descrita em 1821, por Sir Charles Bell, ainda hoje existe muita controvérsia a respeito da etiologia e tratamento. A incidência da PFP encontra-se entre 20 a 30 casos por 100 mil habitantes, com prevalência ligeiramente maior entre as mulheres. Baseado nessas premissas, este estudo teve por objetivo avaliar a evolução de pacientes com paralisia facial periférica submetidos a um protocolo de reabilitação. METODOLOGIA: No estudo foram incluídos 30 pacientes com diagnóstico de paralisia facial periférica idiopática, atendidos no Centro de Estudos e Reabilitação em Fisioterapia (CEAFIR), da FCT-UNESP, campus de Presidente Prudente. O presente estudo adotou como procedimento fisioterapêutico os protocolos I, II, III e IV. Antes de realizar qualquer técnica, abaixo mencionada, foi explicado ao paciente cada passo, para evitar surpreendê-lo. Conforme os pacientes apresentassem melhora e evoluções nas reavaliações elétricas, foram feitas recomendações de exercícios para mímica facial, em frente ao espelho. As repetições eram aumentadas gradativamente, posteriormente os mesmos exercícios, mas agora ativos resistidos. RESULTADOS: Os valores das variáveis reobase, cronaxia e acomodação, nos garantem que o protocolo usado permite avaliar a condução nervosa do facial, o grau de evolução da condução nervosa, bem como acompanhar...

Reabilitação total da maxila com enxerto intraoral: relato de caso

The early tooth loss and periodontal disease often leave inadequate bone volume for installation of osseointegrated implants. The autogenous bone graft is considered the gold standard for reconstruction of residual bone defects. Some surgical techniques can be performed, including extra or intraoral donor sites depending on the degree of bone loss, depending on surgical-prosthetic planning and general condition of the patient. The intraoral bone grafts offer a safe option to rebuilt bone volume in smaller rehabilitations, with low morbidity and minimal postoperative discomfort. Among the possible donor sites, the mandibular ramus and body, which offer predominantly cortical bone, and the chin area, which offers corticomedullary bone tissue, can be harvested. The graft will be suitable both in quantity and quality, preserving the capacity of osteogenesis, osteoinduction and osteoconduction, which differentiate autogenous grafts from other biomaterials. The aim of this study was to report a clinical case in which the mandibular ramus graft was used for total reconstruction of an edentulous maxilla, showing that even large areas can be reconstructed with grafts from intraoral origin. All the steps that allowed the complete reconstruction of the maxilla done by an intraoral donor area are listed in the text, culminating in an extremely satisfactory clinical result.

Uso de um distrator ósseo dentoimplantossuportado, feito a partir de tornos expansores convencionais, na reabilitação oral

Osteodistraction is a clinical reality, available in the last decades for the resolution of large bone deficiencies, in cases that there are pre-existing, but misplaced implants and teeth. The aims of thearticle is to present a case report in which a new possibility for bone distraction, based on tooth-implant bone distractors, made from standard orthodontic expansion-screws, was used in an area where there was an extensive need of alveolar bone and aesthetical recovery, allied to teeth and dental implant misplacement. This technique presented good clinical results, associated to effective simplicity and low cost, becoming viable clinical solution for bone tissue augmentation and aesthetical optimization. In resume, it is possible to say that the suggested technique achieved its objectives, improving the hard and soft tissue profile, whilst allowing completion of oral rehabilitation.

Reabilitação oral de paciente com síndrome da combinação: relato de caso

The Combination Syndrome represents an important pathologic condition of the masticatory system that requires a complex rehabilitation treatment. The presence of flaccid mucosa is one of the most common features due to bone resorption of the pre-maxilla caused by anterior hyperfunction of the mandibular teeth on the maxillary complete denture, where the impact of oclusal loading in this region results in movement of the maxillary prosthesis into the ridge, resulting in increased resorption of the residual ridge, internal misfit and loss of the retention of the maxillary complete denture. The presence of flaccid mucosa, in such cases, leads to problems of support and stability of the maxillary complete denture, which can be treated by surgical reduction of the thickness of the tissue or using specific techniques of fabrication of prostheses. This article describes the oral rehabilitation of a patient with the Combination Syndrome where the surgical reduction of flaccid mucosa was not performed, using a modified technique of functional impression in two steps, with the objective of generating forces and less distortion in flaccid mucosa during functional impression.
