ABSTRACT | This study aimed to analyze the anthropometric characteristics, functional capacity of exercise, and physical activity of children who suffered burns. It also aimed to verify whether there is association between the anthropometric and physical activity variables and the severity of the burns, after hospital discharge. Nutritional status, regular physical activity, and functional capacity of exercise were evaluated by z-score, “Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children,” and six-minute walk test (6MWT), respectively. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to verify the normality of the data. Fisher’s exact test was used to study the association among the qualitative variables. A statistical significance of 5% was adopted. The mean age was 10.0±2.7 years old, and most participants were classified as greatly burned. After 12.7±5.5 months of hospital discharge, 13 (61.9%) participants were eutrophic and 7 (33.3%) were shorter than expected. Regarding physical activity, 11 (52.3%) were classified as active, and the mean distance traveled in the 6MWT was 564.7±70.6 m. There was no significant difference in the association between the variables eutrophic or overweight and active or sedentary (p=0.65) nor between moderately or greatly burned and active or sedentary (p=0.31). The findings showed no association of children classified as greatly burned or overweight/obese with sedentary lifestyle. There was also no reduction of functional capacity of 371O objetivo do estudo foi analisar as caracteristicas antropometricas, capacidade funcional do exercicio e atividade fisica, bem como verificar se ha associacao entre as variaveis antropometricas e de atividade fisica com a gravidade da queimadura em criancas apos a alta hospitalar. O estado nutricional foi estabelecido pelo escore z, a atividade fisica regular foi avaliada por meio do questionario Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C), e a capacidade funcional de exercicio pelo teste de caminhada de seis minutos (TC6). O teste Shapiro-Wilk foi utilizado para verificar a normalidade dos dados. Para analise de associacao entre as variaveis qualitativas foi utilizado o teste exato de Fisher. A significância foi estabelecida em 5%. A idade foi de 10,0±2,7 anos, e a maioria dos participantes foi classificada como grande queimado. Apos 12,7±5,5 meses da alta hospitalar, 13 (61,9%) participantes encontravam-se eutroficos e 7 (33,3%) com a estatura abaixo do esperado. Em relacao a atividade fisica, 11 (52,3%) foram classificados como ativos, e a distância percorrida no TC6 foi de 564,7±70,6. Na analise de associacao, nao houve diferenca significante entre as variaveis eutroficos ou sobrepeso com ativos ou sedentarios (p=0,65); e entre medio ou grande queimados com ativos ou sedentarios (p=0,31). Os achados mostraram que nao houve associacao entre as criancas consideradas grande queimado ou sobrepeso/obesas com o sedentarismo, tambem nao houve reducao da capacidade funcional do exercicio, mesmo com parte dos participantes apresentando alteracao nos dados antropometricos e sendo sedentarios.

The present study aims to evaluate possible benefits of exercises performance by elderly population using Nintendo(r) Wii. The literature was reviewed through the indexed databases: Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online, PubMed, SciELO, The Cochrane Library, and Physiotherapy Evidence Database. Between 2010 and 2013 ten articles were selected: five articles methodologically classified as semi-experimental or interventional type and the other five as a randomized controlled trial. After literature review, we could identify six categories related to the outcomes investigated, which were static balance, dynamic balance, subjective measures of balance, functional capacity, muscle strength and motivation and/or fun. These results suggest that the Nintendo(r) Wii is a valuable tool for physical therapy practice, bringing potential benefits to the elderly population. Further research is needed to define a more appropriate protocol regarding games chosen, supervision, monitoring and that the duration and frequency of therapy would be more beneficial for these patients to better clinical applicability.

[Purpose] This study aimed to quantitatively assess postural alignment in both frontal and sagittal planes, as well as pain in children and adolescents victims of burn injuries. [Subjects and Methods] This cross-sectional study included 21 victims of burns, nine children (age [mean ± SD], 7.3 ± 1.1 yrs) and 12 adolescents (12,0 ± 1.4 yrs), classified as medium and large burns, being investigated on pain and postural alignment evaluated by photogrammetry. Pain intensity was assessed by face scales and postural examination included the assessment of global and thoraco-lumbo-pelvic alignment by previously designed protocols. [Results] Only two adolescents reported mild pain associated with burn injuries, whereas deviations of the projection of the gravity center; forward head posture, and scapular asymmetry were observed in both groups. In the analysis of the thoraco-lumbo-pelvic alignment, children tended to have anterior inclination trunk, increased thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis, while in adolescents, increased thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis were observed. [Conclusion] The results indicate that due to the postural alterations and asymmetries in both frontal and sagittal planes, there is an increased risk of developing scoliosis and possible future pain. Thus, physiotherapy is indicated and should be maintained until complete growth is reached.
