“…Lack of research funding and the small number of higher education programs and research groups can be challenging for research projects in the north, north-east, and midwest regions of Brazil. [151][152][153] Considering the inequality between Brazilian regions, future efforts are needed to support and promote high-quality research in less-developed regions. Supporting clinical/rehabilitation settings in partnership with universities for highquality research (especially on the participation domain and environmental factors) is very important since they usually have the adequate infrastructure to recruit a large number of participants who can count on free public transportation and are generally close to the research facilities.…”

Low-and middle-income countries NDT Neurodevelopmental therapy OCEBM Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine AIM To identify and assess published studies concerning physical therapy in Brazilian children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework. METHOD Articles in English and Portuguese published until October 2020, with no date restrictions, were searched in several different databases. Study characteristics, journal metrics, sample characteristics, and ICF domains explored intervention components and outcomes were extracted. Studies were classified according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine hierarchy levels to characterize the evidence.RESULTS Ninety-four studies were included. Spastic CP with fewer limitations in gross motor abilities was the most reported; 67% of the studies had low levels of evidence and were published in journals without an impact factor. The three most frequent interventions were neurodevelopmental treatment, suit therapy, and transcranial direct current stimulation. Intervention components explored body functions and structures (73.4%), activity (59.6%), environment (2.1%). They did not explore participation (0%). The outcomes investigated addressed activity (79.8%), body functions and structures (67.0%), and participation (1.1%), but not environment (0%).

“…Nos últimos 13 anos houve aumento exponencial na quantidade de cursos de fisioterapia oferecidos no Brasil, sendo São Paulo (28,18%) e Minas Gerais (12,36%) os estados com maior quantidade de instituições ofertando o curso de graduação 22 . O crescimento acelerado desses cursos, todavia, aumenta a desigualdade na formação de fisioterapeutas nas regiões do país, visto que há variações na matriz curricular e no tempo de conclusão do curso 23 .…”

“…Em relação à formação complementar dos fisioterapeutas brasileiros, os resultados deste estudo vão de encontro com a análise documental de Cruz et al 23 , sendo na pós-graduação lato sensu predominantes as áreas de neurofuncional, respiratória e de traumato-ortopedia. Porém, no presente estudo, uma porcentagem considerável (20,3%) realizou pós-graduação lato sensu em outras áreas que não são reconhecidas pelo Conselho Federal de Fisioterapia e Terapia Ocupacional (Coffito) como saúde pública, administração em saúde, marketing em saúde, ensino e docência, entre outras.…”

RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil de formação e produção científica do fisioterapeuta pesquisador brasileiro. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado por meio de levantamento dos currículos profissionais cadastrados na Plataforma Lattes do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), atualizados nos últimos 5 anos. As principais variáveis analisadas foram sexo, distribuição dos fisioterapeutas pelo Brasil, tipo de instituição de graduação, local de atuação, formação complementar, produções científicas e participação em eventos. Foram encontrados 47.741 currículos, dos quais 17.864 estavam dentro dos critérios de seleção da pesquisa e foram analisados. Predominaram fisioterapeutas do sexo feminino (75,5%) e da região Sudeste (35%). A maioria é graduada em instituições privadas (75%), realizou pós-graduação lato sensu (61,4%) e trabalhou em universidades (30%). Existem diferenças entre os sexos com relação às produções, os eventos e a formação complementar, com o melhor desempenho do sexo masculino (p<0,001) - os graduados em instituição pública têm mais produções, eventos e atividades de formação complementar (p<0,001). Os profissionais graduados em instituições privadas, porém, realizam mais cursos de pós-graduação lato sensu (p=0,05). Conclui-se, portanto, que a maioria dos fisioterapeutas pesquisadores do Brasil é do sexo feminino, graduada na região Sudeste, formada em instituições privadas, realizou pós-graduação lato sensu e trabalha em universidades. Apesar da maioria feminina, os profissionais do sexo masculino e os formados em instituições públicas apresentam maior quantidade de produções, participações em eventos e formações complementares.

“…Data are extracted from the publications with or without the aid of search systems and analysis of citations and networks, which allow quantitative and qualitative analysis using statistical tools and theoretical foundation of meta-science 14 . Few scientometric studies were carried out to analyze Physiotherapy, and these focused more on the profile of research physiotherapists 15,16 . However, this method of investigation can help to identify gaps to be filled in future research and to understand phenomena that reduce the visibility of scientific findings on the subject.…”

Introduction: Human T-Cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) is a sexually transmitted retrovirus that can cause chronic pain of moderate to high intensity, spasticity and weakness in the lower limbs, balance, gait, urinary and sexual dysfunctions. Physiotherapy is a treatment that has been shown to be effective in improving symptoms and signs. However, research on the topic is scarce. Objective: Outline the research scenario in Physiotherapy aimed at people infected with HTLV-1. Methods: Scientometric study carried through Medline, Virtual Health Library, Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases. The metadata regarding the studies were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The VOS.Viewer software was used for the analysis of quotes. Clinical studies were also analyzed considering meta-scientific impacts including analysis of conflicts of interest and methodological biases. Results: Initially 1160 studies were identified. After applying the eligibility criteria, 68 articles remained, of which 34 articles were observational studies, 21 on intervention, 9 on review, two on qualitative research and two on diagnostic accuracy. Brazil is responsible for 94.11% of the production on the theme. The sub-areas of Physiotherapy covered by the studies were neurofunctional and urogenital, using different exercise modalities, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, biofeedback and non-invasive neuromodulation. Conclusion: On the topic of Physiotherapy for people with HTLV-1, Brazil occupies a prominent place in scientific production. Research on the subject receives little or no funding, requiring free of charge publications in journals, which affects its visibility.
