To investigate the correlation between handgrip strength and performance of knee flexor extensor muscles determined using an isokinetic dynamometer in community-dwelling elderly women.This was a cross-sectional study. Sample selection for study made by convenience, 221 (71.07 ± 4.93 years) women were included. Knee muscle measured Biodex System 3 Pro. The variables chosen analysis peak torque, torque/bodyweight, total work/bodyweight, work, average power, agonist/antagonist ratio at angular...
Cross-sectional study with subsample of elderly women acute low back pain (LBP), from Back Complaints in the Elders-Brazil (BACE-Brazil)To investigate association between plasma levels mediators inflammation (interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and soluble TNF receptor 1 (sTNF-R1)) disability experienced by LBP.Among elderly, LBP is a complaint great importance can lead to disability. Inflammatory cytokines are elevated painful conditions, may promote...
ResumoA sarcopenia caracteriza-se pela perda generalizada e progressiva da força massa muscular esquelética com o envelhecimento. Com aumento população idosa em ritmo acelerado todo mundo, torna-se necessário maior entendimento dos fenômenos associados ao processo de Portanto, descrever a frequência distribuição desses fenômenos, tal como sarcopenia, é um passo fundamental para se conhecer os componentes atrelados sua ocorrência promover assistência à saúde direcionada idoso. O objetivo...
Measurement instruments of pain catastrophizing for middle-aged and elderly individuals are needed to understand its impact on low back pain. The goals were cross-culturally adapt the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, assess construct validity through Rasch analysis, verify reliability convergent with psychosocial factors. 131 aged 55 years older acute interviewed . intra-rater was Kp = 0.80 interrater 0.75. analysis found adequate coefficients (0.95 items 0.90 ). separation index 2.95 4.59 items....
Background and Objectives:Low back pain (LBP) is a complaint of great importance among the elderly due to its significant impact on function. LBP could contribute changes in regulatory process inflammatory mediators observed elders. The aim this study was compare plasma levels interleukin(IL)-6, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 1(sTNF-R1), functionality 3 groups women: GI, with LBP; GII, without but reports other pain; GIII, any reported pain. Material Method:This an observational...
We investigated the effect of -174 G/C single-nucleotide polymorphism in promoter region IL6 gene on plasma IL-6 levels and muscle strength, relationship between strength elderly women. The sample consisted 199 residents (73.0 ± 7.8 years old) from rest homes community Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil. was determined by direct sequencing product PCR, concentrations were measured ELISA. Muscle knee joint evaluated using a Biodex System 3 Pro® isokinetic dynamometer. ANCOVA used to determine Pearson...
Low back pain (LBP) is a common musculoskeletal condition among elders and associated with falls. However, the underlying biological risk factors for falling LBP has been poorly investigated. The Physiological Profile Assessment (PPA) validated fall-risk assessment tool that involves direct of sensorimotor abilities may contribute to understanding falls LBP.To assess fall using PPA in without LBP.This an observational, comparative, cross-sectional study aged ≥65 years. present was conducted...
OBJETIVO: Verificar a correlação do desempenho dos músculos joelho e os domínios dor, rigidez funcionalidade Questionário Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) de idosas com osteoartrite (OA). MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal observacional uma amostra 80 (71,2 ± 5,3 anos) diagnóstico clínico OA joelho. Força, resistência equilíbrio musculares foram avaliados por meio dinamômetro isocinético Biodex System 3 Pro, nas velocidades angulares 60º/s 180º/s;...
Resumo Este estudo transversal avaliou a associação de fatores biopsicossociais com incapacidade em idosos um novo episódio dor lombar aguda. Foram incluídos aguda e excluídos aqueles alterações cognitivas deficiências motoras graves. A foi avaliada pelo Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire. Os (variáveis clínicas, funcionais, estado saúde, psicológicas sociais) foram avaliados por questionário estruturado multidimensional exame físico. Regressão linear multivariada utilizada para análise...
The aims of this study were to determine the course plasma levels inflammatory mediators (interleukin 6 [IL-6], tumor necrosis factor α [TNF-α], soluble TNF receptor 1 [sTNF-R1]) and severity low-back pain (LBP) over 12 months after an acute episode LBP in elderly women establish association between recovery.This was a longitudinal subsample (155 with LBP, aged ≥65 years) international Back Complaints Elders cohort study. Plasma IL-6, TNF-α, sTNF-R1 measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
Aging is associated with chronic low-grade inflammatory activity an elevation of cytokine levels. An association between regular physical and reduction blood levels anti-inflammatory cytokines demonstrated in the literature pointing to effect related exercise. However, there no consensus regarding which type exercise parameters are most appropriate influence markers. Evidence indicates that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) can synthesis those affecting their production. The design this...
Handgrip and knee extension strengths have each been used to characterize disability. However, it has reported that the association between handgrip is weak.To evaluate influence of extensor muscle strength on Timed Up Go (TUG) test results among elderly women with worse (≥ 10 seconds) better (< performance, after controlling for confounders.Cross-sectional study a sample selected according convenience, carried out in federal public institution higher education.Assessment was using Jamar...
AbstractIntroduction The isokinetic dynamometer enables accurate assessment of muscle function. In Brazil, few studies have assessed the performance in older adults making interpretation and comparison results with other studies.Objectives To conduct a descriptive analysis flexor extensor muscles knee joint elderly community compare between age groups 65-74 years 75 or more.Methods This is cross sectional observational study convenience sample 229 community. For was used (Biodex System 3...
RESUMO Introdução: A atividade física é um importante parâmetro a ser quantificado em idosos. São necessários instrumentos de medida confiáveis para avaliar e elaborar metas intervenções terapêuticas efetivas verificar evolução do paciente. Objetivo: Adaptar transculturalmente determinar confiabilidade teste-reteste interexaminadores Active Australia Questionnaire idosos da comunidade. Métodos: adaptação transcultural foi realizada acordo com os critérios propostos por Guillemin Beaton,...
Study Design. Cross-sectional, ancillary study of an international multicenter epidemiological study. Objective. To investigate the relationship anterior trunk mobility with self-report and physical performance measures in elderly women acute low back pain (LBP). Summary Background Data. LBP is one most prevalent complaints population. It postulated that increased range motion limited joints may improve functionality patients. Recent studies have, however, questioned association between...
