INTRODUÇÃO: A realização de duas tarefas de forma simultânea exige a capacidade de concentrar atenção e executar duas tarefas ao mesmo tempo. Em indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson as interferências podem ser ainda maiores, visto que esses indivíduos necessitam de um grau maior de atenção apenas para executar uma tarefa única, como no caso, a marcha. OBJETIVO: Analisar a interferência da dupla tarefa na marcha de pacientes com DP. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Estudo observacional de caráter transversal, de natureza quantitativa. Cinco indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson, de ambos os sexos, participaram do grupo experimental; e cinco indivíduos saudáveis fizeram parte do grupo controle. Os participantes tiveram a marcha avaliada com e sem interferência cognitiva, utilizando: Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg; Índice Dinâmico da Marcha; teste de mobilidade funcional (Time Up and Go Test), Esteira Ergométrica e o Stroop Test adaptado para analfabetos. RESULTADOS: Quando comparados Grupo Experimental e Grupo Controle foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes nas condições de marcha com interferência de dupla tarefa (Dupla Tarefa Número e Dupla Tarefa Cor) nas variáveis de quantidade de acertos e amplitude de movimento. CONCLUSÃO: A dupla tarefa em pacientes com DP, interfere principalmente na função cognitiva, enquanto a função motora da marcha permanece parcialmente preservada.
Background: One of the main symptom present in post-stroke subjects is chronic pain. Chronic pain and physical dependence can decrease the level of social participation of these population. Objective: characterize the correlation between pain and the social participation of post-stroke individuals living in the region of Trairi Potiguar. This is a cross-sectional and observational study, approved by the institution’s research ethics committee (#2.622.853). Methods: Thirty-four participants were assessed by McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), LIFE-H 3.1, Functional Independence Measure (FIM), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Fugl-Meyer Scale (FMS) and Nottingham Sensory Assessment (NSA). Spearman correlation test were performed in the statistical analyse. Results: The following scores were reported in median (1ºQ/3ºQ): FIM (65: 0/116), MMSE (18: 0/23.75), FMS (21: 0/88), NSA (45,5: 0/238), LIFE-H total (338: 0/757) and MPQ (0: 0/0.75). A moderate positive correlation between the sensory domain of the MPQ (pain) with the subdomains of nutrition (rs=0.5913, p=0.0002) and mobility (rs=0.5083, p=0.0021) of LIFE -H were founded. Conclusions: There are presence of pain in this population, but no correlation was found between pain and social participation in post-stroke individuals.
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.
