“…If denervation remains for a long period, fibrous connective tissue replaces the contractile elements of the muscle, inhibiting muscle regeneration. 26 However, these alterations were not found in this study. This may be justified by the duration of the study, which was not sufficient to induce these potential intramuscular connective tissue changes.…”

Objective To evaluate the effect of jumping in aquatic environment on nociception and in the soleus muscle of trained and not trained Wistar rats, in the treatment of compressive neuropathy of the sciatic nerve.Methods Twenty-five Wistar rats were distributed into five groups: Control, Lesion, Trained + Lesion, Lesion + Exercise, and Trained + Lesion + Exercise. The training was jumping exercise in water environment for 20 days prior to injury, and treatment after the injury. Nociception was evaluated in two occasions, before injury and seven after injury. On the last day of the experiment, the right soleus muscles were collected, processed and analyzed as to morphology and morphometry.Results In the assessment of nociception in the injury site, the Control Group had higher average than the rest, and the Lesion Group was larger than the Trained + Lesion and Lesion + Exercise Groups. The Control Group showed higher nociceptive threshold in paw, compared to the others. In the morphometric analysis, in relation to Control Group, all the injured groups showed decreased muscle fiber area, and in the Lesion Group was lower than in the Lesion + Exercise Group and Trained + Lesion Group. Considering the diameter of the muscle fiber, the Control Group had a higher average than the Trained + Lesion Group and the Trained + Lesion + Exercise Group; and the Lesion Group showed an average lower than the Trained + Lesion and Lesion + Exercise Groups.Conclusion Resistance exercise produced increased nociception. When performed prior or after nerve damage, it proved effective in avoiding hypotrophy. The combination of the two protocols led to decrease in diameter and area of the muscle fiber.

“…Low-frequency pulsed currents (PCs) and kHzfrequency alternating currents (KACs) are used commonly in physical and rehabilitation medicine programs. 1,2 PC stimulators typically deliver either mono-or biphasic pulses at frequencies ranging between 1 and 200 HZ. The KAC stimulators deliver biphasic, symmetrical waveforms at frequencies ranging between 1000 and 10,000 HZ.…”

“…De acordo com Salvini et al 10 , a eletroestimulação possui várias indicações terapêuticas, dentre elas reparo tissular, analgesia, eletrodiagnóstico, treino funcional e de força em pacientes neuroló-gicos, além de treino de força muscular em indivíduos saudáveis. Cunha et al 11 também afirmam que há efeito positivo na aplicação da eletroestimulação, apresentando importante ação terapêutica e prevenindo contraturas musculares.…”

Introdução: O traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE) é qualquer agressão capaz de lesão anatômica ou comprometimento funcional do couro cabeludo, crânio, meninges ou encéfalo, que pode causar importantes perdas cognitivas e motoras. Os principais mecanismos de trauma são os acidentes automobilísticos, quedas e as agressões físicas e/ou lesões por arma de fogo. Este estudo objetivou relatar os efeitos de um protocolo de intervenção fisioterapêutica que inclui o uso da Corrente Russa (CR) na reabilitação de um paciente com TCE. Relato de caso: Paciente do sexo masculino, 26 anos, mecânico, etilista crônico, diagnóstico médico de TCE e hemiparesia esquerda desproporcionada com predominância no membro superior, dependente de cadeira de rodas. A avaliação fisioterapêutica foi constituída de aferição de sinais vitais, avaliação dos reflexos superficiais e tendinosos e do tônus muscular, goniometria e teste de força muscular específico. Após avaliação inicial foi aplicado um protocolo de intervenção fisioterapêutico constituído de exercícios terapêuticos e eletroestimulação com CR, com frequência de duas sessões semanais de 50 minutos de duração, por um período de 16 semanas, seguidas de reavaliação. Conclusão: O protocolo de intervenção aplicado contribuiu para a reabilitação funcional do paciente, verificado pelo ganho de amplitude de movimento das articulações do punho, cotovelo, tornozelo e joelho esquerdos; e aumento na graduação de força muscular dos flexores e extensores do punho e do cotovelo, flexores e extensores do joelho e tornozelo esquerdos. Além disso, a deambulação independente foi restituída,com retorno à atividade profissional.
