[Purpose] This study compared patients having active acromegaly with those controlled in terms of peripheral muscle strength, body composition, and functional capacity. We also examined the associations between these measures. [Methods] A total 14 acromegaly, 12 healthy controls were subjected to isometric dynamometry, surface electromyography, electrical bioimpedance, a six-minute walk test. [Results] The group exhibited significantly more fat-free mass than control group. With respect...
Despite the gradual improvement in treatment procedures and cure rates of acromegaly, a steady increase mortality rate due to respiratory disease has been documented recent decades. In this study, our objectives were describe abnormalities lung structure function that occur acromegalic patients correlate these changes with hormonal levels. This cross-sectional study included 20 age-and height-matched control subjects, all non-smokers. All subjects underwent spirometry, whole body...
[Purpose] The six-minute walk test (6MWT) is increasingly being used as an important tool for analyzing functional capacity in patients with multisystem disorders. aim of this study was to evaluate the effect body composition, peripheral muscle function, and pulmonary function on distance (6MWD) acromegalic patients. [Subjects Methods] Thirty-two active acromegaly, a mean age 48.6 ± 12.1 years, underwent evaluation composition using electrical bioimpedance, isometric dynamometry surface...
Objectives: To compare the results of 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) with those estimated using national and foreign predictive equations six-minute walked distance (6MWD) in Brazilian elderly women. Methods: Fifty healthy women (72 ± 5 years, 29.4 4.7 kg/m 2 ) performed Test. Results: Predicted distances different showed significant differences percentage predicted 6MWD varied between 71 7% 112 12%. Correlations were all ( P < .05). The classification normal-reduced was significantly among...

In this study, our objectives were describe abnormalities lung structure function that occur acromegalic patients correlate these changes with hormonal levels.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Knee stability is critical for the execution of functional tasks, maintaining joint within physiologic limits and preventing possible mechanical loads.A type taping being increasingly used in recent years Kinesio Taping, which often as resource to improve decrease pain.This study aimed at evaluating acute effect Taping on pain a patient with chronic knee instability.CASE REPORT: Male patient, 46 old, instability due late postoperative period Anterior Cruciate...
