1Discente e 2 Docente do Curso de Fisioterapia da UNOESTE, Presidente Prudente, SP RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os efeitos da Wii Reabilitação no equilíbrio estático de uma adolescente com hemiparesia. A adolescente de 16 anos foi avaliada através do exame cinético-funcional para classificar o tipo de hemiparesia e o tônus muscular. Foram verificados o peso e altura para o cálculo do índice de massa corpórea e posteriormente, aplicou-se os testes de equilíbrio estático baseados na Escala de Desenvolvimento Motor de Rosa Neto. A Wii Reabilitação foi baseada em três jogos que visaram o treino de equilíbrio, precedida por alongamentos e repetidos após a execução dos jogos. Foram realizadas 10 sessões, com duração de 30 minutos, três vezes na semana. Na avaliação pré a adolescente atingiu 96 pontos na escala e após a Wii Reabilitação, a mesma alcançou 120 pontos. Esses dados demonstram a melhora no equilíbrio estático da adolescente, após a prática de Wii Reabilitação, indicando um novo recurso terapêutico que pode ser usado no tratamento de portadores com hemiparesia. Palavras-chave: hemiparesia, adolescente, equilíbrio postural, fisioterapia, reabilitação. INFLUENCE OF THE WII REHABILITATION ON THE STATIC BALANCE OF TEENAGERS WITH HEMIPARESIS: CASE STUDY ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to analyze the effects of the Wii Rehabilitation on the static balance of a teenager with hemiparesis. The 16-year-old girl was assessed using the functional kinetics test to classify the type of hemiparesis and muscle tone. The weight and height were checked to calculate the body mass index and later, the tests of static balance based on the Motor Development Scale by Rosa Neto were applied. The Wii Rehabilitation was based on three games that aimed training the balance, preceded by stretching and repeated after the execution of the games. Ten sessions were held, lasting thirty minutes each, three times a week. When the teenager was first evaluated, she hit 96 points on the scale and after the Wii Rehabilitation, she reached 120 points. This information shows the improvement in static balance of the teenager, after doing Wii Rehabilitation, indicating a new therapeutic resource which can be used to treat patients with hemiparesis.
Introdução. O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o equilíbrio através da aplicação da escala de Berg em pacientes com sequela de traumatismos encefálicos que praticam natação associado à realidade virtual através do Nintendo Wii. Método. Participaram do estudo 3 pacientes, que apresentaram sequela neurológica pós traumatismos encefálicos. Foram submetidos a um programa que constou de realidade virtual com duração de 30 minutos seguida de aula de natação com duração de 50 minutos, ambos com frequência de 2 vezes por semana. Os indivíduos foram avaliados através da Escala de Equilíbrio Funcional de Berg antes de iniciar as aulas de natação e de realidade virtual e foram reavaliados após 6 sessões. Resultados. Todos os pacientes apresentaram melhora do equilíbrio após o programa de natação associada a realidade virtual. Conclusão. Atualmente essa nova opção de tratamento fisioterapêutico pode contribuir para a melhora do equilíbrio em pacientes neurológicos, uma forma de estimular o indivíduo a adesão ao tratamento.
Introduction In the Family Health Strategy (FHS), the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) includes education and lifestyle change strategies. Physiotherapists have a key role in this health setting. Objectives To implement actions of evaluation and guidelines for patients with type 2 DM who attend a Family Health Strategy (FHS), regarding diabetic foot and the practice of regular physical exercise in the control and prevention of the complications of Diabetes Mellitus. Methods 17 individuals from an FHS were evaluated, with the following procedures: clinical and anthropometric parameters, inspection, a questionnaire on diabetic neuropathy, tests of vibratory and tactile sensitivity, muscle function, range of motion, functional analysis, questions about exercise practice and guidance regarding controlling blood glucose and foot care. Results Deformities, dry skin, calluses, dehydration, ulceration, cracking and brittle nails were found. Peripheral neuropathy was not observed; tactile sensitivity was altered in the heel region and the vibratory sense was absent in 5% of individuals. A decrease in functionality of ankle movements was verified. Of the participants, 76% were sedentary, 24% knew about the benefits of practicing regular exercise, 25% had undergone a medical evaluation prior to performing physical exercise and, of these, 25% were supervised by a qualified professional. Discussion The implementation of physiotherapy actions in diabetics from an FHS was important for highlighting the presence of risk factors for diabetic complications. Conclusions Individuals attending the FHS need more information and programs for the prevention of diabetic complications.
