O fisioterapeuta é um profissional habilitado a atuar na prevenção, promoção, proteção e reabilitação da saúde, em nível individual e coletivo. Dessa forma, objetiva-se encaixar o papel do fisioterapeuta no âmbito da saúde pública e sua inclusão no Programa de Saúde da Família (PSF), além de entender suas atividades dentro de um aspecto preventivo e como atuar junto à população, auxiliando toda a equipe de saúde. Para isso, um profissional capaz de estudar e investigar o movimento humano e as funções corporais é fundamental. Associado ao PSF, suas práticas se traduzem em um novo modelo de atenção que privilegia toda a comunidade. Em atuação na saúde da família, seu trabalho ganha resolutividade e efetividade, oferecendo ações de baixo custo, criando vínculo com a comunidade, valorizando a profissão e garantido o reconhecimento de sua profissão por todos que a assistem. O PSF surge, assim, como mais uma oportunidade para o fisioterapeuta desenvolver suas habilidades no âmbito social oferecendo ao indivíduo uma melhora na qualidade de vida. Por meio de uma alta motivação do paciente, também garante uma educação continuada e possibilita a recuperação da harmonia do corpo e do convívio social.Palavras-chave: Programa de Saúde da Família, Fisioterapia, Saúde Pública, SUS.
Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the width of the linea alba in cadavers with no abdominal wall defects. Methods: Fifty-three fresh adult male cadavers were dissected. The cadavers were placed supine and a xiphopubic incision was made, exposing the myoaponeurotic layer. Two horizontal lines were marked, at 3 cm superiorly and 2 cm inferiorly to the umbilicus, to measure the distance between the recti muscles. Measurements were performed with a digital pachymeter. Statistical analysis was performed using the t-test for 2 independent means where the considered p value was less than 5%. Results: The normality test of the sample revealed no significant variations. The average length of the linea alba and recti muscles were similar (33.02 cm). The mean values for the width of the rectus muscles were 7.37 cm on the right side and 6.84 cm on the left side with no statistical significance between these values (p=0.479). The mean values of the width of the linea alba of the 53 cadavers were 2.17 cm at the supraumbilical level and 1.51 cm at the infraumbilical level; comparing these, a statistically significant difference was observed, with higher values for the supraumbilical level (p=0.034). Conclusion: The width of the alba line was greater at the supraumbilical level and the right abdominal rectus muscle was wider than the left.
Most epidemiological studies do not exclusively address fractures treated surgically but include those with conservative treatment. In Brazil, few epidemiological studies address fractures prevalence undergoing surgical treatment. Objective: To assess the prevalence, demographics, and associated injuries of surgically treated humeral shaft fractures. Methods: A retrospective study between 2009 and 2019 with patients undergoing osteosynthesis of humeral shaft fracture. Categorical variables were assessed using Fisher’s chi-square or exact test, and non-categorical variables were assessed using the unpaired t-test. A significance level of 5% was adopted. Results: A total of 115 patients were evaluated. Mean age was 37.9 ± 15.6 years, with a male predominance (66.9%) due to car accidents. The most prevalent fracture type was 12 A3. Open fracture prevalence was 11.3%. Radial nerve damage prevalence was 33% and low-energy trauma was twice as likely. Conclusion: Surgically treated humeral shaft fractures were more prevalent in men, young, and related to high-energy trauma, with a transverse line pattern. Fractures secondary to low-energy trauma had a greater association with radial nerve injury. Level of Evidence III, Epidemiological, Retrospective Study.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
