Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as características associadas à qualidade de vida (QV) em usuários quatro Unidades Básicas Saúde (UBS) Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Delineou-se um transversal com 930 adultos e cadastrados nas UBS selecionadas. Utilizou-se o questionário contendo instrumento WHOQOL-bref perguntas sobre sociodemográficas, estilo condições saúde. Após análise descritiva, realizou-se regressão linear simples múltipla para avaliar a associação entre variáveis...
We evaluated changes in different domains of quality life (QL) for persons with Parkinson's disease after a program physical activity. Twenty subjects diagnosis classified as Stages 1 to 3 on the Hoehn and Yahr scale mean age 61.5 ± 9.8 years participated 36 group sessions combined aerobic conditioning muscular strengthening. QL was investigated by Nottingham Health Profile, generic questionnaire composed six domains. Student's paired t tests indicated significant gains associated (P < 0.05)...
To assess the intra- and inter-rater reliabilities measurement errors of seven widely applied performance-based tests for stroke subjects (comfortable/maximal gait speeds both stair ascending/descending cadences, as well Timed 'Up Go' test) to verify whether use different types outcome scores (one trial, means two three trials, best worst values trials) affected score values, their reliability errors.Intra- study.Research laboratory.Sixteen with a mean age 52 ± 17.9 years.Seven tests, over...
Stroke patients commonly have impairments associated with reduction in functionality. Among these impairments, the motor are most prevalent. The functional profile of living community who users primary health-care services Brazil has not yet been established.
Purpose: To compare the Timed Up & Go (TUG) test between subjects with and without hemiparesis, considering direction toward which they turned, to determine potential clinical variables that could explain possible observed differences groups and/or turning directions. Method: Twenty-two hemiparetic 22 matched control performed TUG twice, each one in both Measures of strength tonus quadriceps, gait speed, balance, fear falling were also collected. Results: Stroke slower than group,...
The aim of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties and validate Portuguese version Fear Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ-Brazil). This instrument assesses how beliefs fear individuals with lower back pain affect two subscales related their physical activities (FABQ-Phys) work (FABQ-Work). questionnaire translated into Brazilian Portuguese, following recommended methodology, applied 53 non-specific chronic pain. test-retest intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC =...
BACKGROUND: Individuals with stroke have low physical activity levels and spend high amount of time in low-energy expenditure activities. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects aerobic treadmill training on spent i
To investigate the concurrent validity of telephone-based assessment Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnea scale in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The FSS MRC Dyspnea were applied twice, an interval one to two weeks between assessments. first was carried out face-to-face second via a telephone call. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) (FSS score) weighted Kappa statistic item score used agreement assessments (α = 5%). Sixty-seven (66.8 ± 8.4...
Background Low physical activity level is a common risk factor for recurrent stroke. Feasibility studies show behavior change interventions can increase participation, but face barriers (e.g., home visits or internet access). Low-cost telehealth approaches, like telephone calls, may overcome these challenges. Another low-cost strategy involves motivational tools supporting “Behavioral Regulation,” such as monitors. However, evidence insufficient to support their use in increasing levels...
[Purpose] This study aimed to identify the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health categories addressed by assessment tools commonly used in post-stroke rehabilitation characterize patients based on its evaluation model. [Subjects Methods] An exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional was conducted involving 35 individuals with chronic hemiparesis. Handgrip strength assessed evaluate body functions structures. The 10-meter gait speed test Timed Up Go were...
Muscle strength is usually measured in individuals with stroke Portable dynamometers (gold standard). However, no studies have investigated the reliability, standard error of measurement (SEM) and minimal detectable difference (MDD95%) dynamometry for hand grip, pinch grip trunk subjects subacute stroke.1) To investigate intra inter-rater SEM MDD95% portable stroke, 2) to verify whether use different number trials (first trial average first two three trials) affected results.32 (time since...
Purpose: To determine the potential predictors of participation individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis, taking into account modifiable variables impairments, activity limitations, and environmental factors.Methods: One hundred nine (58 ± 12 years; 64 men) participated in this study. Outcomes included measures impairments (depressive symptoms: Geriatric Depression Scale motor-based impairments: finger-to-nose test, lower extremity (LE) motor coordination handgrip strength, isometric...
OBJETIVOS: Comparar o desempenho de idosos com diferentes níveis gravidade demência em questionários atividades básicas vida diária (ABVDs) e instrumentais (AIVDs). Verificar se existe correlação entre os AIVDs aplicados. METODOLOGIA: Foram aleatorizados 90 (75,46 ± 7,66 anos) atendidos no Centro Referência do Idoso-MG, diagnóstico clínico (DSM-IV/APA) classificados quanto ao nível da (Clinical Dementia Rating). As ABVDs foram avaliadas pelo Índice Katz, as AIVDs, Lawton-Brody Pfeffer. Os...
