Chinese scalp acupuncture associated with bilateral electroacupuncture demonstrated, in the short term, a statistically significant improvement by reducing the level of tinnitus intensity, as well as improving the quality of life of individuals with tinnitus.
RESUMOIntrodução: A ginástica rítmica (GR) é uma modalidade esportiva que combina arte a gestos biomecânicos de alta complexidade, que requer alto nível de desenvolvimento de qualidades físicas como: agilidade, flexibilidade, força, impulsão e destreza. Nessa modalidade, estudos comprovam que as lesões mais frequentes ocorrem nas articulações do joelho e tornozelo e, em alguns casos, nas extremidades do punho, sendo os entorses as mais registradas, principalmente em atletas de nível de competição. Diante disso, a propriocepção e o controle muscular possuem papel fundamental na estabilidade articular dinâmica, já que após lesões ortopédicas algumas características sensório--motoras são alteradas e devem ser o foco de programas de reabilitação para que se obtenha melhor retorno às atividades como antes da lesão. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito do treinamento proprioceptivo sobre o equilíbrio postural de atletas de ginástica rítmica, a partir da utilização da plataforma de força. Métodos: Foi realizado um treinamento proprioceptivo no período de 2 meses, subdividido em três fases, com progressão da complexidade dos exercícios a cada fase de treinamento. Resultados: Podemos observar que houve uma melhora significativa dos resultados da última fase do treinamento, quando foram utilizados exercícios de maior complexidade e agilidade, de acordo com o protocolo. Conclusão: Por se tratarem de atletas de GR de alto desempenho e apresentarem predomínio de atividades em apoio unipodal, os protocolos de propriocepção devem ser mais intensos, gerando um maior nível de perturbações e desequilíbrios posturais. Palavras-chave:propriocepção, atletas, equilíbrio postural. ABSTRACT Introduction: Rhythmic gymnastics (RG) is a sport that combines art with biomechanical gestures of high complexity, which requires a high level of development of physical qualities such as agility, flexibility, strength, impulsion and dexterity. In this modality, studies show that the most frequent injuries occur in the knee and ankle joints, and in some cases in the ends of the wrist
Introduction Cryotherapy is the use of cold as therapeutic approach. Although often used, its impact on the postural balance is not well-known.Objectives To analyze the effects of cold water immersion in the postural balance on single-leg balance in healthy subjects through the variables of center-of-pressure, velocity anteroposterior and medial-lateral oscillations, comparing conditions open and closed eyes in the moments before, immediately, 20 and 40 minutes after cold water immersion.Material and methods Cross-sectional study with 30 male subjects, cold water immersion at 5 °C during 15 minutes assessed in a force platform, protocol of 3 trials of 30 seconds each with 10 seconds of rest, the average of the 3 trials was used for analysis. The software GraphPad Prisma 5.0 was used for statistical analysis, with the ANOVA test for repeated measures and comparisons with test of Friedman and post-test of Dunn.Results It was observed improvement of the balance by the results of the following variables: in the condition Open Eyes (OE) it was observed significant difference only in the velocity anteroposterior (AP) in the moment before immersion when compared to the 40-minute moment. Significant differences were observed in the condition Closed Eyes (CE) in the following comparisons: in the Center-of-Pressure (COP) only at the immediate moment when compared to the 40-minute moment; in the velocity AP in the moment before when compared to the 40-minute moment, in the immediate moment when compared to the 20-minute and 40-minute moments; and in the medial-lateral velocity (Vel-ML) in two comparisons: in the moment before immersion when compared to the 20-minute and 40-minute moments after cryotherapy. Results show safety in performing activities after cryotherapy.Conclusion Improvement of the postural balance after cold water immersion on the predetermined conditions of this study.
