Eletromiografia de superfície para avaliação dos músculos do assoalho pélvico feminino: revisão de literatura

Abstract: A eletromiografia de superfície tem grande importância clínica e de pesquisa para o fisioterapeuta. Apesar de captar a atividade elétrica promovida pelo recrutamento das unidades motoras, há boa correlação entre o número de unidades ativadas e a força muscular. É um dos métodos de maior especificidade na avaliação do assoalho pélvico, embora não haja consenso em relação à sua aplicação. Essa revisão de literatura foi desenvolvida com o objetivo de agrupar as informações sobre o uso da eletromiografia de superf… Show more

“…The most used scale for recording digital palpation findings was Modified Oxford Scale (MOS), cited by 16 articles [15, 17, 18, 20, 23 -34], followed by Ortiz in 11 articles [4, 15, 20, 35 -42], Amaro [43] and Tefim-perineal [15] for one article each. The digital palpation was not performed in seven articles and the musclulature was evaluated by electromyography [21,44] or perineometry [45 -49]. Among those using the MOS, six articles complemented their evaluation using the PERFECT method even if adapted [15,18,23,27,29,33].…”

“…Most of the selected articles, 19, used perineometry to complement or even as a single method of PFM evaluation [4, 15, 24, 29 -32, 35, 36, 38, 39, 41, 43, 45 -49], seven used electromyography [15,20,21,26,28,34,44], one palpometer [28], vaginal cones [15] and nine did not use an additional method, and the results were obtained through digital palpation [17 -19, 23, 27, 28, 33, 37, 42].…”

“…It is important, however, that standardized methodology be developed for the use of electromyography in evaluating pelvic floor muscle function, thus assuring the reproducibility and reliability of studies . To the best of our knowledge, no standardization parameters for the use of electromyography in evaluating pelvic floor muscle function have been defined by the International Society of Electrophysiology and Kinesiology (ISEK) or in the Surface Electromyography for the Non‐Invasive Assessment of Muscles (SENIAM) .…”

“…2,3 Surface electromyography is a reliable method for evaluating pelvic floor muscle function in healthy women women 4 and provides valuable information for the diagnosis and treatment of PFM dysfunction. 5 This technique is able to capture the sum of all the motor unit action potentials. 6 A greater number of activated motor units is indicative of greater muscle strength.…”

“…A eletromiografia pode ser entendida como o registro extracelular da atividade bioelétrica gerada pelas fibras musculares. Pode ser realizada por meio de agulha, que capta a atividade elétrica de poucas unidades motoras, ou por meio de eletrodo de superfície, que mensura a atividade elétrica de várias unidades motoras ao mesmo tempo 21 .…”
