Análise do equilíbrio postural e força muscular isocinética de joelho em atletas de futsal feminino

O futebol de salao (futsal) representa, atualmente, o esporte com maior numero de praticantes, fator que implica grande surgimento de lesoes. Assim, e relevante identificar variaveis que podem predispor o atleta ao desenvolvimento de lesoes, como o equilibrio e a forca muscular. O objetivo deste estudo e analisar o equilibrio postural e a forca muscular isocinetica do joelho em atletas amadoras de futsal feminino - foram avaliadas 12 atletas (22,07±3,61 anos) -, e verificar se existe associacao entre essas variaveis. Mediu-se a forca muscular com um dinamometro isocinetico, e o equilibrio, por meio da posturografia dinâmica computadorizada, com testes de organizacao sensorial (TOS), de controle motor e unilateral. As atletas mostraram maior dependencia visual para manter o equilibrio, percebida nas condicoes do teste unilateral com restricao visual. Possivelmente, essa situacao indica que o sistema somatossensorial e/ou vestibular das atletas foi afetado por fatores associados ao treinamento fisico e a participacao em competicoes. Quanto as variaveis de forca muscular isocinetica, nao houve indicacao de desequilibrio muscular pela relacao agonista-antagonista no membro inferior dominante (53,8±8,4%), nem no nao dominante (55,1±10,9%). Houve associacao entre equilibrio e variaveis de forca isocinetica, indicando que quanto maior a potencia muscular, melhor o nivel proprioceptivo (condicao 4 do TOS) e, quanto maior o trabalho total, melhor o estado dos sistemas proprioceptivo e vestibular (condicao 5 do TOS).Study developed in the Evaluation Laboratory of the Undergraduate Program in Physical Therapy of the Universidade Federal do Pamapa (Unipampa), Campus Uruguaiana – Uruguaina (RS), Brazil. 1 Student of the course of Physical Therapy of the Universidade Federal do Pampa (Unipampa) – Uruguaiana (RS), Brazil. 2 Physical therapist of the course of Physical Therapy of the Universidade Federal do Pampa (Unipampa) – Uruguaiana (RS), Brazil. 3 Physical therapist, PhD in Science Education, professor of the course of Physical Therapy of the Universidade Federal do Pampa (Unipampa) – Uruguaiana (RS), Brazil. 28 Analysis of the postural balance and knee isokinetic muscle strength of female futsal players Análise do equilíbrio postural e força muscular isocinética de joelho em atletas de futsal feminino Análisis del equilibrio postural y fuerza muscular isocinética de rodilla en deportistas de fútbol sala femenino Bruna Belchor Barcelos1, Lilian Pinto Teixeira2, Simone Lara3

ASSOCIAÇÃO ENTRE O EQUILÍBRIO POSTURAL E INDICADORES ANTROPOMÉTRICOS EM ESCOLARES

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the association between postural balance and anthropometric indicators in elementary school students. Methods: This cross-sectional, descriptive and quantitative study included children enrolled in the first year of elementary school, of both sexes, in the age group of 6 to 7 years. Children with any physical or cognitive impairment, children who did not participate in all stages of the study evaluation, or those who failed to perform postural balance assessments were excluded. The children underwent a balance evaluation through a computerized dynamic posturograph, with sensory organization tests (TOSs) in six different sensory conditions. In order to verify the anthropometric indicators, the body weight and height measurements were evaluated for later calculation of the body mass index (BMI), which was categorized into four groups: low weight, normal, overweight and obesity. Results: Eighty children with a mean age of 6.2±0.8 years were included, being 47 girls (58.8%). The analysis of the anthropometric indicators identified that 26.3% of students were overweight and 15% were obese. The children had averages below the reference values considered for their age range in conditions III and VI. There was a negative association between condition V and BMI and a positive association between values below normal in condition VI with overweight and obesity. Conclusions: There were associations between excess body weight and values below normal in some balance conditions, indicating that the anthropometric indicators interfered in the children’s postural balance.

Análisis postural de la columna cervical y cintura escapular de niños practicantes y no practicantes del método pilates

Was compared the postural pattern related to the cervical spine and shoulder girdle, practitioners and students not Pilates practitioners. This was a cross-sectional and quantitative study. The study evaluated a convenience sample consisting of 39 students, divided into Pilates group (PG) composed of 21 students and inactive group (IG) consisting of 18 students. Postural assessment was made of the same through the SAPO software. There were significant differences between the groups on the variables related to the horizontal alignment of acromions (p=0.02), horizontal asymmetry of the scapula (p=0.003), vertical alignment of the body in the right side view (p=0.0003), and asymmetry in frontal plane (p=0.0003). Pilates practitioners students had better shoulder and scapula alignment and better body alignment and the center of gravity when compared to non-practitioners.Se comparo el estandarpostural relacionado a la columna cervical y cintura escapular de estudiantes practicantes y no practicantes del metodo pilates. Se trata de un estudio trasversal y cuantitativo. El estudio evaluo una muestra de conveniencia formada por 39 estudiantes, divididos en grupo pilates (GP), compuesto por 21 estudiantes, y grupo inactivo (GI), compuesto por 18 estudiantes. Se realizo la evaluacion postural mediante el software Sapo. Hubo diferencia significativa entre los grupos en las variables relacionadas a la alineacion horizontal de los acromiones (p=0,02), asimetria horizontal de la escapula (p=0,003), alineacion vertical del cuerpo en vista lateral derecha (p=0,0003) y asimetria en el plano frontal (p=0,0003). Los estudiantes practicantes de pilates obtuvieron mejor alineacion del hombro y escapula y mejor alineacion corporal y del centro de gravedad cuando comparados a los no practicantes.

Effect of the Pilates method on idiopathic scoliosis: a case study

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar os efeitos do metodo Pilates, em curto prazo, nas alteracoes posturais, na flexibilidade e na forca dos musculos flexores e extensores de tronco em uma paciente portadora de escoliose idiopatica. DESCRICAO DO CASO: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo no qual foram avaliadas as seguintes alteracoes em uma menina de 11 anos de idade, com escoliose idiopatica, antes apos um protocolo de tratamento pelo metodo Pilates:1) alteracoes posturais em vista anterior, posterior e de perfil, analisadas por meio do Software de Avaliacao Postural SAPO; 2) flexibilidade de cadeia posterior, avaliada pelo teste de sentar e alcancar e distância dedo-chao; e 3)forca muscular de flexores e extensores de tronco, avaliada pelo teste manual de forca muscular. O protocolo de tratamento incluiu exercicios do metodo Pilates solo e acessorios, constando de 10 sessoes, tres vezes por semana, durante um mes. Apos a intervencao, a paciente apresentou melhora postural no alinhamento de cabeca, ombros, escapulas, ângulo de Talles, tronco, abdomen e pelve. A flexibilidade e a forca dos musculos flexores e extensores de tronco apresentaram melhora quando comparadas entre antes e apos as sessoes fisioterapeuticas. CONCLUSOES: O caso estudado sugere efeitos positivos do metodo Pilates, em curto prazo, em adolescente com diagnostico clinico de escoliose idiopatica.
