Avaliação da ativação neuromuscular em indivíduos com escoliose através da eletromiografia de superfície

The aim was to describe trunk control in ambulant and non-ambulant patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of a sample of 50 DMD patients, (M age = 16.7 years) who underwent the Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo). A seven-level scale of trunk control was used (1: head control only; 7: control of entire trunk while unsupported). Static, active and reactive posture control were evaluated in ambulant and non-ambulant patients. Inter-rater reliability for all assessments was evaluated by calculating the kappa coefficient. More advanced disease (having higher Vignos scores), was associated with poorer trunk control. Ambulant patients showed better trunk control than non-ambulant patients (p = 0.003). There was strong inter-rater agreement for SATCo scale scores.

“…It is important to prove physical therapy techniques' efficacy 18,23 , with the quantification of these changes and of the results of these treatments are one of the ways of accomplishing this, even though it is not commonly used in schools and clinical settings in physical therapy 34 . Scoliosis is a postural deformity that promotes decreased muscular strength of the lumbar extensors in comparison to these muscles in individuals without scoliosis 10 . The Klapp method is a type of treatment in which asymmetrical stretching postures are used and where strenghtening theses muscles is also recommended 14,26,27 .…”

“…Scoliosis is a type of postural deviation of the vertebral spine of multiple origins that is characterized by a lateral curvature in the frontal plane associated or not, to vertebral body rotation in the axial and sagittal planes [7][8][9][10][11][12] , and is a significant condition when over 10 degrees of curvature are measured 5,7,9,[13][14][15][16][17][18] . Since its development can occur from an early age and can be aggravated during youth, it has to be managed as early as possible, for after the end of spinal growth the possibility of correcting it becomes less 6,11,15,17,19 .…”

RESUMOObjetivos: Avaliar os efeitos do método Pilates, em curto prazo, nas alterações posturais, na flexibilidade e na força dos músculos flexores e extensores de tronco em uma paciente portadora de escoliose idiopática. Descrição do Caso: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo no qual foram avaliadas as seguintes alterações em uma menina de 11 anos de idade, com escoliose idiopática, antes após um protocolo de tratamento pelo método Pilates:1) alterações posturais em vista anterior, posterior e de perfil, analisadas por meio do Software de Avaliação Postural SAPO; 2) flexibilidade de cadeia posterior, avaliada pelo teste de sentar e alcançar e distância dedo-chão; e 3) força muscular de flexores e extensores de tronco, avaliada pelo teste manual de força muscular. O protocolo de tratamento incluiu exercícios do método Pilates solo e acessórios, constando de 10 sessões, três vezes por semana, durante um mês. Após a intervenção, a paciente apresentou melhora postural no alinhamento de cabeça, ombros, escápulas, ângulo de Talles, tronco, abdômen e pelve. A flexibilidade e a força dos músculos flexores e extensores de tronco apresentaram melhora quando comparadas entre antes e após as sessões fisioterapêuticas. Conclusões: O caso estudado sugere efeitos positivos do método Pilates, em curto prazo, em adolescente com diagnóstico clínico de escoliose idiopática.DESCRITORES: ESCOLIOSE; ADOLESCENTE; FISIOTERAPIA; POSTURA; REABILITAÇÃO. ABSTRACT Aims:To investigate the short-term effects of the Pilates method on postural alterations, flexibility and strength of the flexor and extensor muscles of the trunk in a patient with idiopathic scoliosis. Case Description: This is a prospective study in which the following alterations in an 11-year-old girl with idiopathic scoliosis were evaluated before and after a treatment protocol based on the Pilates method: 1) postural alterations in anterior, posterior and profile view, measured using the Postural Assessment Software (Software de Avaliação Postural, SAPO, in Portuguese); 2) posterior chain flexibility, assessed using the sit-and-reachand the finger-floor distance tests; and 3) strength of the flexor and extensor muscles of the trunk, assessed using manual muscle strength testing. The treatment protocol included Pilates mat and equipment exercises, and consisted of 10 sessions given three times a week for a month. After the intervention, the patient showed improvement in postural alignment of the head, shoulders, scapulae, Thales' angle, trunk, abdomen and pelvis. We identified improvements in flexibility and strength of the flexor and extensor muscles of the trunk, when comparing values before and after the physical therapy sessions. Conclusions: This case study suggests positive, short-term effects of Pilates exercise on an adolescent with a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic scoliosis.
