Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is a life-saving procedure for those with end-stage dysfunction. The main goals of SOT are to improve quality life and daily function, which supported by pre- post-transplant rehabilitation. In-person rehabilitation programs have traditionally been the standard-of-care delivering patients. Many adopted virtual delivery model [telerehabilitation (TR)], an approach that has become increasingly used given restrictions in-person during COVID-19 pandemic....
Introduction: Parkinson disease has symptoms that can be reduced by integrative therapy. Objective: To verify the therapy effects with motion mobility, balance, and agility in people disease. Methods: A systematic review meta-analysis was performed for randomized, nonrandomized, semirandomized controlled trials. Results: total of 122 studies were found, 9 being selected, The intervention varied from 2 weeks to 12 months, dance Tai Chi. Conclusion: Chi brought no significant differences...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Field-based walk tests conducted remotely may provide an alternative method to a facility-based assessment of exercise capacity for people with advanced lung disease. This prospective study evaluated the level agreement in distance walked between 6-min test (6MWT) and incremental shuttle performed by using standard in-person procedures variations settings. <h3>METHODS:</h3> Adults disease underwent 4 visits: (i) one 6MWT (30-m corridor) treadmill 6MWT, (ii) remote home...
Introduction Exercise training post-transplant has been shown to improve physical function and quality of life in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Online resources the form websites videos are commonly used provide education instruction on exercise activity SOT; however, content these online not evaluated. Methods The first 200 identified Google YouTube using English search term “exercise transplantation” were analyzed. Website video was evaluated based 25 key components SOT as...
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a progressive disease with motor impairment, and as such requires multidisciplinary team that includes physiotherapy. Physiotherapy can stimulate learning ability, recovery, neuroplasticity neuroprotection. The aquatic physiotherapy (AP) for PD enables movements to be progressively safely executed, reducing the risk of falls. Hence, objective this study analyze effects an AP program on functional skills people PD. This controlled quasi-experimental clinical trial,...
This study aims at checking the effects of an early intervention program (EIP) on neuropsychomotor development (NPMD) and quality life (QoL) 4–18 months old babies attending daycare, following biopsychosocial (BPS) model health International Classification Functioning Disability Health (ICF). It was a quasi-experimental cross-over study, with evaluations (NPMD QoL) interventions (locomotor, stabilizer manipulative in circuit format) 66 carried out EIP, twice week, during 4 weeks. The EIP for...
Abstract Quality of Life (QoL) is a predictor development depending on multiple factors, being the QoL infants still little studied, especially in permanent settings such as educational center or daycare centers. Correlate quality life with age, family income and neuropsychomotor between 4 18 months age Descriptive transverse study research, clinical trials registration : RBR 2hd6sm November 2, 2016. was evaluated interviews through Pediatric Inventory-PedsQL™ (Brazilian version). The were...
Objective: To identify and compare people with Parkinson Disease (PD) doing multidisciplinary activities those who do not realize. Method: Participants were evaluated for the Hoehn Yahr (HY) (1-4), age, daily dose of levodopa, what they participate in quality life (PDQ-39), UPDRS living motor (UPDRS). They compared participants non-practicing stratifying levels HY between balance deficit (levels 3 4 HY), have problems 1 2 HY). Results: Attended by 49 both genders (21 women, 28 men), these 17...
To describe the feasibility of virtual assessments physical frailty in solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients using a modified Fried Frailty Index (mFFI) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), to prevalence 12-months post-transplant assessment.Virtual were performed an e-questionnaire video-call for functional tests. Feasibility variables included: internet quality, duration, presence companion, adverse events.34 SOT recipients, median age 62 (46-67), 76% lung 47% female, included....

This study aimed to verify the effect of a program functional exercise on body balance in institutionalized elderly. Six elderly persons participated and were evaluated reevaluated after 3.5 weeks using Berg Balance Scale. The consisted 14 meetings 60 minutes each, 4 times week. function descriptive analysis Microsoft 2010 was used. An improved scale score (48.3 ± 4.1 vs 42.8 6.2, P = 0.002) decreased risk falls (84% 43% 46% 29%, found. Functional training sufficient improve reduce number falls.
RATIONALE: Assessment of muscle strength is recommended to measure weakness and inform exercise prescription in adults undergoing pulmonary rehabilitation. There a lack normative data for lower extremity using fixed dynamometry the clinical setting young adults.
Functional evaluation is one of the pillars elderly home care for planning interventions targeting autonomy this population. To verify Independence Measure (FIM) in senior patients on a program. Retrospective quantitative study with assisted by service city Curitiba, from August 2012 to December 2016. The following information was collected: gender, age, clinical diagnosis, and mean FIM scores at admission discharge. Inclusion exclusion criteria were met, descriptive statistics used and,...

Method: protocol study indicated trial, crossover...
The first years of a child’s life are primordial for the neuropsychomotor development (NPMD). Some factors – such as biological, family or environmental may influence, positively negatively, acquisition motor and cognitive skills throughout life; daycare, an environment where children stay long period, is one them.
