“…These data are similar to those obtained by other studiers in relation to orthopedics/traumatology in Brazil (Santos, Lima Neto, Ramos, & Soares, 2007;Menegazzo, Pereira, & Villalba, 2010;Oliveira & Braga, 2010;Funk & Estivalet, 2015;Rezende, Silva, Oliveira, & Trindade, 2015).…”

“…However, in clinical terms, the data are very relevant for the preparation of the reception environment for patients and for health professionals who serve the population. In this sense, according to the scientific literature, must be necessary to professional of health to attend courses and/or to study treatment and care for the elderly (Santos et al, 2007, Menegazzo et al, 2010Oliveira & Braga, 2010;Funk & Estivalet, 2015;Rezende et al, 2015).…”

“…In general, articles on epidemiological profiles mention the importance of physical therapy in hospitals and heath units (Oliveira & Braga, 2010;Conceição et al, 2014;Funk & Estivalet, 2015). Data of the World Health Organization indicate that 80% of the world population has some complaints of back pain, mainly due to posture problems (World Health Organization [WHO], 2003).…”

“…Epidemiological studies, both in general and specifically, are part of the health promotion process and prophylactic actions that can generate treatment plans for a population (Funk & Estivalet, 2015). Pathologies not shown by epidemiological studies, however, are thwarted by the lack of information for the adequate treatment of a population.…”

Epidemiological studies, both in general and specifically, are part of the health promotion process and prophylactic actions that can generate treatment plans for a population, however, the accomplishment of prophylactic work in relation to musculoskeletal (i.e., traumatological) problems must start from the specific and go to the general, from cities to a national plan, since each population has its own characteristics in the general picture of conditions. Hypothetically, the epidemiological profile in traumatology and orthopedics, due to the general behavior in the national territory, presents the lack of prevention; in this way, is necessary to verify. This work aims to determine the incidence of orthopedic and traumatological problems in the region of Palmas, state of Tocantins (TO), Brazil, in order to contribute to a possible prophylactic plan for the population of the region. The data of the present study agree with most other studies about the orthopedic profile in terms of gender, age and problems with vertebral column, in general. However, the finding that most of the conditions were associated with scoliosis was unexpected, as it differs from the findings of most studies. It was possible to establish a profile of patients seen at the clinic-school and indicate the management of training for health professionals related to the treatment of people over the age of 40 years. The importance of the action of physiotherapists in the processes of prevention and primary care was evident given the patients indicated in this and other articles who need help with traumatic diseases.

Objetivo: o presente estudo visa traçar o perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes atendidos no setor de fisioterapia de uma clínica-escola do interior do Ceará. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo transversal, quantitativo e retrospectivo. Para isso, foram analisados todos os prontuários dos pacientes atendidos no setor de fisioterapia da clínica-escola durante o ano de 2019. As variáveis analisadas foram: sexo, faixa etária, raça, profissão, diagnóstico clínico, queixa principal, segmentos acometidos, diagnóstico cinesiológico funcional (CIF) e tratamento fisioterapêutico. Resultados: observou-se prevalência de indivíduos do sexo feminino (62,80%), com idade igual ou superior aos 60 anos (31%), de raça parda (43,40%) e como profissão dor lar (15%). O diagnóstico clínico mais presente foi a artrose (8%), com queixa principal de dor (85,80%) e o segmento mais acometido foi a coluna lombar (32,70%). 94,70% receberam atendimento fisioterapêutico e 83,30% apresentavam CIF. Conclusão: o conhecimento do perfil epidemiológico permite que o fisioterapeuta reconheça as principais problemáticas que acometem a população, o tornando mais preparado para atuar tanto na prevenção como no tratamento, proporcionando, assim, melhor qualidade de vida para esses usuários.
