RESUMOO estudo teve como objetivo avaliar e comparar amplitudes de movimentos articulares, em condições activa e passiva, entre crianças de diferentes faixas etárias e sexo. Participaram 103 crianças (43 meninos e 60 meninas) categorizadas em dois grupos: G1 (7 a 9 anos) e G2 (10 a 12 anos). Na avaliação de amplitude articular adotou-se o protocolo do flexiteste, activo e passivo, e o programa SAPO ® . Para comparar a amplitude activa e passiva foi utilizado o teste t emparelhado e para comparar as amplitudes activa e passiva entre os sexos e faixas etárias foi aplicado o teste t independente (p < .05). Os resultados evidenciaram que as amplitudes passivas das articulações dos membros inferiores são maiores do que as activas (p < .001). As meninas apresentaram maior amplitude passiva no movimento de flexão plantar em relação aos meninos (p = .002). As crianças de 7 a 12 anos apresentaram padrões similares quanto à flexibilidade das articulações de membros inferiores. Foram encontradas diferenças significativas nas amplitudes angulares dos membros inferiores entre os movimentos de flexão activa e passiva nas articulações do quadril, joelho e tornozelo. Não se encontraram diferenças, entre sexos e entre as diferentes faixas etárias, nas amplitudes de movimento avaliadas. Palavras-chave: amplitude articular, crianças, movimento activo e passivo ABSTRACT The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare active and passive joint range of motion in children in relation to gender and age. This study involved 103 children (43 boys and 60 girls) categorized into two groups: G1 (7 to 9 years old) and G2 (10 to 12 years old). The flexitest protocol, active and passive, and the SAPO ® were used to evaluate joint range of motion. A paired t test was applied to compare active and passive joint range of motion and an independent t test (p < .05) was used to compare active and passive range of motion between gender and age. Results showed that the passive joint ranges of motion of the lower limbs are higher than active motion (p < .001). Girls presented greater passive ankle flexion than boys did (p = .002). Children between 7 and 12 years of age presented similar standards of joint range of motion of low limb. Significant differences were found between passive and active angular range of motion in the hip, knee and ankle. There were no differences between boys and girls in the joint range of motion as well as among age groups.
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.
