The Brazilian Practice Guidelines for Stroke Rehabilitation - Part II, developed by the Scientific Department of Neurological Academy Neurology (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia, in Portuguese), focuses on specific rehabilitation techniques to aid recovery from impairment and disability after stroke. As I, II is also based recently available evidence randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, other guidelines. covers disorders communication, dysphagia, postural control...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can disrupt various brain functions. Over a one-year period, we aimed to assess activity and cognitive function in 53 COVID-19 patients 30 individuals without (or asymptomatic). Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Trail Making Test Parts A B (TMT-A B), Digit Span were used function. variables electroencephalography (EEG) data (activity, mobility, complexity) compared between the groups at rest during demand (F3-F7, Fz-F3, Fz-F4, F4-F8). There was reduction...
INTRODUÇÃO: Define-se "dupla tarefa" como a capacidade de efetivar uma ação primordial incorporada segunda atividade. Em idosos, é presumível que execução ações simultâneas comprometa o equilíbrio postural, favorecendo quedas nesta população. OBJETIVOS: Avaliar efeito duplas tarefas na mobilidade funcional idosos ativos e correlacionar tempo utilizado para sua realização com idade do indivíduo. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal observacional, utiliza amostra conveniência. Dezenove Programa...
Muscle tone is defined as the resistance to passive stretch, but this definition often criticized for its ambiguity since some suggest it related a state of preparation movement. primarily regulated by central nervous system, and individuals with neurological disorders may lose ability control normal can exhibit abnormalities. Currently, these abnormalities are mostly evaluated using subjective scales, highlighting lack objective assessment methods in literature. This study aimed use surface...
Background: Unilateral spatial neglect (USN) is the prevalent feature in patients with right-sided stroke. It diagnosed through behavior inattention test (BIT) and has a negative impact on affecting both their functional capacity quality of life.Objective: Here, we aimed to evaluate USN life chronic phase stroke.Methods: This cross-sectional study stroke USN. After confirming presence neuroimaging examinations BIT, patients' was evaluated by using EUROQOL scale. Spearman's correlation used...
Abstract Introduction: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have alterations that affect the musculoskeletal system, causing abnormal patterns, and alter morphological anatomical mechanical axes provide intrinsic stability to skeleton, can trigger misalignments orthopedic disorders in adulthood. Objective: The objective of student evaluate posture postural alignment before after hippotherapyin individuals DS. Methods: Posture five DS was evaluated by software SAPO 27 sessions hippotherapy....
Current knowledge regarding coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is constantly evolving, and the long-term functional impairments, limitations, restrictions have not yet been well established.to evaluate impact of post-COVID condition on human functioning through International Classification Functioning, Disability Health (ICF) classification.This a prospective cohort study with 53 individuals at 3 time points: 0 to (baseline), 6, 6-12 months (follow-up). Outcomes were organized in...
This study was undertaken to evaluate the acute effects of single low doses melatonin given healthy volunteers in evening. Six male (age range 22–24 years) participated this study, after signing an informed consent form. They received a double‐blind fashion placebo or 0.3 1.0 mg at three fixed times: 18:00, 20:00, and 21:00 hr. Polysomnographic recordings began immediately thereafter, with their being allowed sleep. Prior each experimental session following morning, subjects completed sleep...
INTRODUÇÃO: A Facilitação Neuromuscular Proprioceptiva (FNP) está entre as várias opções de tratamento fisioterapêutico para que o paciente com doença Parkinson (DP) possa atingir uma função motora eficiente, porém poucos estudos exploram os efeitos dessa abordagem nessa população. OBJETIVOS: Com base no exposto, presente estudo teve como objetivo explorar intervenção fisioterapêutica baseada na FNP em sujeitos DP. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: Foram estudados quatro DP, idade média 65,25 ± 10,11...
Introdução: Os indivíduos com síndrome de Down apresentam características peculiares da anomalia, sendo a principal e mais frequente hipotonia muscular. Objetivo: Verificar o melhor material montaria posicionamento dos pés para recrutamento musculatura tronco crianças que utilizam do tratamento equoterapia. Métodos: Foram avaliados cinco praticantes por meio eletromiografia, durante quatro sessões Para análise estatística, foi utilizado teste Kruskal-Wallis comparações múltiplas dados não...
AbstractAbstractBackground: The presence of sensory and motor deficits is common in patients post stroke. Mental practice (MP) mirror therapy (MT) can be used as therapeutic techniques for poststroke rehabilitation. Important results have been demonstrated, although they not established the patients’ functional gain or related muscle electromyographic (EMG) data to functionality. Objective: aim was investigate EMG activity sensory, motor, performance hemiparetic limbs with stroke after...
Objetivo: O objetivo foi avaliar portadores de distrofia muscular Duchenne (DMD) e Becker (DMB) por meio escalas análise postural. Metodologia: Foram avaliados 13 pacientes, idade 16,75 (± 6,9) sendo 9 DMD, 4 DMB, 7 cadeirantes, 6 não nas escalas: Índice Barthel EK (Egen klassifikation). A avaliação postural sentada feita no software SAPO. Resultados: Os dados revelam que: aumento da (p0.01), dependência cadeira rodas (p0.01) uso ventilador indicaram menor independência. Na tanto dos...
