Introduction Propulsive wheelchair capacity may be influenced by arm muscle performance.Objectives: To determine whether children and adolescent wheelchair-users with spina bifida show reduced strength compared to their typically developing peers compare data obtained isokinetic handheld dynamometry (HHD).Methods Participants (mean age 12.5 ± 2.5 years) were assigned (SB; n = 11) or control (n 22) groups. Isokinetic was used measure peak torque (PT) during dynamic (60°s−1 120°s−1) isometric...

We aimed to analyse cardiac autonomic control by assessing the post-exercise heart rate recovery (HRR) and physical fitness in children adolescents with spina bifida (SB), compared participants typical development. A total of 124 participants, 42 (SB group) 82 developmental controls (CO performed arm cranking exercise test a gas analysis system. HRR was determined at first (HRR_1) second (HRR_2) minute phase. Data are shown as [mean difference (95% CI)]. The SB group showed reduced HR...

Myelomeningocele (MMC) is a neural tube defect that often causes spinal cord injury at the thoracolumbar region, as well sensory and motor paralysis in lower limbs. This leads to continuous use of wheelchair and, consequently, sedentary lifestyle, predisposition muscle weakness, cardiovascular respiratory disorders, obesity, structural alterations spine. We assessed function shoulder strength MMC participants who were wheelchair-users had no complaints compared them healthy children...

We analyzed the evolution and pattern of heart rate (HR) during 12-minute wheelchair propulsion field test (WPFT) compared peak HR (HRpeak) from WPFT to HRpeak obtained in progressive cardiopulmonary exercise on arm cranking ergometer (ACT). aimed determine if detects consistently could be used clinical practice.Eleven wheelchair-using children adolescents with myelomeningocele (aged 8-15 y) performed a maximal ACT WPFT. was recorded continuously at rest, each minute tests, recovery. Mixed...

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a prediction model for peak oxygen uptake ( JOURNAL/ppyty/04.03/00001577-201904000-00015/15FSM1/v/2023-08-23T235932Z/r/image-gif O 2peak ) in children with spina bifida (SB), considering workload W ), heart rate, age, sex, anthropometric measures, walking level, physical activity and level of the lesion. Methods: Data 26 participants SB performing graded arm crank test were used model. An unrelated data set was validation. Results: The following equation...

Study Design: Literature review. Children with chronic morbidities, progressive and / or functional disabilities are less active than healthy children. The metabolic changes that affect them favour increased energy expenditure (EE). assessment of activity (EEA) provides specific details the movement efficiency, resources for establishing a therapeutic protocol.The gold standard EEA by maximum oxygen uptake (VO2) is limited in clinical routine complexity data acquisition its high charge...

O acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) figura entre as principais causas globais de mortalidade e incapacidade em adultos, sendo que cerca 90% dos casos estão vinculados ao controle inadequado fatores risco potencialmente modificáveis. Buscando enfrentar esse desafio, a Rede Brasil AVC, colaboração com World Stroke Organization (Organização Mundial do AVC), 2019, promoveu o aplicativo Riscômetro AVC como uma inovação tecnológica para prevenção global AVC. Este aplicativo, interface intuitiva,...

Objective: To validate a peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) prediction model in Brazilian youth with spina bifida. Methods: Twenty participants bifida performed graded arm crank test to measure VO2peak. The VO2peak values predicted by the equation “VO2peak (mL/min) = 194 + 18 × workload – 110 sex” were compared measured. Results: was not different from measured A high correlation found between both values, and Bland-Altman analysis did show significant difference, demonstrating agreement values....
