This epidemiologic profile has been arousing the interest of researchers in several social, cultural and physiological changes of the elderly. Among the most common health complaints, the low back pain has been highlighted, and, it is estimated that 70% of the adults suffer from chronic or recurrent lumbar pain. Therefore, this study aims mainly to relate the degree of low back pain with the functionality of the elderly, determining the main pathologies according to gender and age group. This study was outlined in a transversal way counting on a prospective data collection with an observational feature. In addition, this research has evaluated patients above 60 years old complaining on having lumbar pain and by considering their image tests. The participants were evaluated through the following instruments: 1. Mini Mental Test, 2.The Oswestry Quiz; 3.The Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living; 4.Katz Index of Independence in Activities of Daily Living, and 5. Roland-Morris Incapacity Quiz. Furthermore, the statistical analysis has described the quantitative variables by mean and standard deviation as well as the categories through absolute and relative frequencies. The association among the indexes used Spearman?s correlation, and, when comparing Oswestry Quiz with Katz Index, Mann-Whitney test was, then, utilized. The level of significance adopted was of 5% and the analyses were carried out through SPSS 21.0 program. The sample was compounded by 140 patients, however, 22 (15.7%) were excluded by cognitive deficit. Thus, this study counted on 118 patients with mean age of 67.1 years (? 5.6). Referring to the age groups, 90 (76.3%) patients were between 60-69 years old, 22 (18.6%) between 70-79 years old and 6 (5.1%) above 80 years old, while women predominated (n=92; 78%). Related to the tests, 66 (55.9%) realized X-ray, 6 (5.1%) computerized tomography and 46 (39%) magnetic resonance. When the diagnoses were evaluated by magnetic resonance, the three most prevalent ones were, respectively: arthrosis facet (80%), degenerative disc disease (75.6%) and foraminal stenosis (42.2%), considering that the patients with degenerative disc disease presented higher scores in Oswestry Quiz and lower scores in Lawton Instrumental. There was no significant difference among the prevalence of diagnosis by magnetic resonance in accordance to gender and age group. There was an inverse significant association between Oswestry score and Lawton functional score (r= -0.538; p<0.001), although the higher Oswestry values, the lower the functional capacity in IADLs was. Hence, Oswestryscores were significantly lower in patients demonstrating independence in activities of daily living, evaluated through Katz index. There was a significant direct association between Oswestry score and Roland-Morris score (r=0.720; p<0.001), while the higher the Oswestry score, the higher the Roland Morris one was.It can be concluded, then, that the low back pain seems to have impact on the functionality of the elderly; it does not seem to exist any considerable difference between the prevalence of diagnoses, within the predominant age group of this study, and the mean age of 67.5 years. Thereby, the degenerative disc disease and the foraminal stenosis seem to cause low back pain with higher correlation in relation to the decrease of the functionality of the elderly. / O envelhecimento da popula??o brasileira ? uma realidade e est? ocorrendo em n?veis sem precedentes. Este perfil epidemiol?gico vem despertando o interesse de pesquisadores em diversas altera??es sociais, culturais e fisiol?gicas do idoso. Entre as queixas m?dicas comuns aos idosos, destaca-se a lombalgia. Estima-se que 70% dos adultos sofram de dor lombar cr?nica ou recorrente. Este estudo tem como objetivo principal relacionar o grau da lombalgia com a funcionalidade do idoso, e determinar as principais patologias de acordo com a faixa et?ria e g?nero. Esse estudo foi delineado de forma transversal com coleta prospectiva de dados de car?ter observacional. A pesquisa avaliou os pacientes acima de 60 anos com queixa de dor lombar e com exames de imagem. Os participantes foram avaliados atrav?s dos seguintes instrumentos: 1. Mini Mental, 2. Question?rio de Oswestry 3. Atividades Instrumentais da Vida di?ria de Lawton 4. Escala de atividades de vida di?ria Katz 5. Question?rio de incapacidade de Roland-Morris. A an?lise estat?stica descreveu as vari?veis quantitativas por m?dia e desvio padr?o e as categ?ricas por freq??ncias absolutas e relativas. Associa??o entre as escalas utilizou o teste da correla??o de Spearman. Na compara??o entre Oswestry com a Escala de Katz o teste de Mann- Whitney foi utilizado. O n?vel de signific?ncia adotado foi de 5% e as an?lises foram realizadas no programa SPSS 21.0. A amostra foi composta por 140 pacientes, no entanto 22 (15,7%) foram exclu?dos por d?ficit cognitivo. Assim, o estudo contou com 118 pacientes com m?dia de idade de 67,1 anos (? 5,6). Quanto ?s faixas et?rias, 90 (76,3%) pacientes tinham entre 60-69 anos, 22 (18,6%) entre 70-79 anos e 6 (5,1%) acima de 80 anos. A predomin?ncia foi de mulheres (n=92; 78%). Quanto aos exames realizados, 66 (55,9%) realizaram Raio-X, 6 (5,1%) tomografia computadorizada e 46 (39%) resson?ncia magn?tica. Quando avaliados os diagn?sticos por Resson?ncia Magn?tica, os tr?s mais prevalentes foram respectivamente: artrosefacet?ria (80%), discopatia degenerativa (75,6%) e estenose foraminal (42,2%), sendo que os pacientes com discopatia degenerativa apresentaram maiores escores de Oswestry e menores de Lawton. N?o houve diferen?a significativa entre as preval?ncias de diagn?stico por Resson?ncia Magn?tica conforme g?nero e faixa et?ria. Houve associa??o inversa significativa entre o Escore de Oswestry com o escore funcional de Lawton (r=-0,538; p<0,001), sendo que quanto maior os valores de Oswestry, menor a capacidade funcional nas AIVDs. Os escores de Oswestry foram significativamente mais baixos nos pacientes com independ?ncia nas atividades de vida di?ria, avaliado pelo Katz. Houve associa??o direta significativa entre o escore de Oswestry com o de Roland Morris (r=0,720; p<0,001), sendo que quanto maior o de Oswestry, maior o de Roland Morris. Concluiu-se que a lombalgia parece ter impacto na funcionalidade dos idosos. N?o parece existir diferen?a consider?vel entre as preval?ncias de diagn?sticos dentro da faixa et?ria predominante do estudo com idade media de 67,5. A discopatia degenerativa e a estenose foraminal parecem ser as causas de lombalgia com maior correla??o em rela??o a diminui??o de funcionalidade no idoso.

The MJDs result in functional disabilities that negatively impact on the independence and quality of life of the elderly. Hence, profile determination of MJD is important for the management and planning of health actions. Thus, this dissertation presents two studies: one aims on (1) characterizing the elderly with MJD of the rehabilitation center (RC) at Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), in refference to demographic and health profile, type of physical therapy treatment, service funding, and outcome, and also among these, the aim to (2) characterize those with low back pain. This cross-sectional study used retrospective data from medical records of 1203 elderly (age, sex, residence, type of treatment funding, clinical diagnosis), all treated from July 2004 to March 2010. Of the 890 medical records of elderly patients with MJD, data concerning medication, comorbidities, signs and symptons, physical therapy treatment, number of sessions and outcome were collected. These data were analyzed using the SPSS software where a level (&#945;) of 5% was adopted as a decision criteria. For the total of elderly subjects the average age was 70,1 (+- 7,9) years and among them predominated women (66.7%) who resided near the RC (45%), and distant (55%), including surrounding towns, whose treatment was funded by health care plans (54,4%). There was significant prevalence of MJD (74%, p <0.0001) compared to other groups of diseases (respiratory, genitourinary, nervous, amputations and others), which showed significant association with the female sex, while the male sex was associated with diseases of the respiratory and circulatory systems. The most frequent MJDs were arthropathies (25.6%) and back problems (34.6%) and, among the latter, the most common were low back pain (14.4%). Hypertension was the most frequently reported comorbidity (50.3%) and antihypertensive drugs the most frequently used (34.7%). Pain was the most frequent symptom (97.7%), followed by limitation of range of motion (48.2%). The most widely used physical therapy treatments were kinesiotherapy (72.9%) associated with electrotherapy (60,2%). The most frequent treatment response was relief of pain (98,2% of valid cases n=227). As for outcome, 106 patients (45,9% of valid cases n = 231) had release from treatment. Regarding the elderly referred for low back pain (69.98 ? 8.4 years), 53% had only low back pain, 21% lumbar sciatic pain and 26% low back pain associated with other diseases. Also among them the majority were women (69.8%), complaining of pain (99.2%), whose physical therapy treatment consisted of kinesiotherapy and electrotherapy (87%). The results of this dissertation indicated that the MJDs and nonspecific low back pain were quite prevalent, specially in women with hypertension, making use of antihypertensive drugs, treated with kinesiotherapy and electrotherapy for pain and motion range limitation. Considering Physical Therapy as being of fundamental importance to the functional recovery of the elderly, and, therefore, their independence, rethinking the current care model emerges are imperative in the face of pressing demographic changes. / O envelhecimento da popula??o leva ao incremento dos dist?rbios cr?nico-degenerativos, entre eles as doen?as osteomusculares e articulares (DOMA), das quais as lombalgias est?o entre as mais prevalentes e sintom?ticas em idosos. As DOMA resultam em defici?ncias funcionais que impactam negativamente na independ?ncia e na qualidade de vida de idosos. Deste modo, determinar o perfil daqueles acometidos por DOMA ? importante para a gest?o e o planejamento de a??es em sa?de. Assim, a presente disserta??o ? composta por dois estudos que tiveram como objetivo (1) caracterizar os idosos com DOMA, atendidos no Centro de Reabilita??o (CR) da Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica do Rio Grande do SUL (PUCRS), quanto ao perfil demogr?fico e de sa?de, tipo de tratamento fisioterap?utico, financiamento do servi?o e desfecho e, dentre esses, (2) realizar a mesma caracteriza??o daqueles com lombalgia. Para a realiza??o deste estudo transversal e retrospectivo, foram revisados 1203 prontu?rios de idosos (idade, sexo, bairro de resid?ncia, financiamento do servi?o, diagn?stico cl?nico), todos atendidos de julho de 2004 a mar?o de 2010. Dos 890 prontu?rios de idosos com DOMA, foram coletadas informa??es sobre medicamentos, comorbidades, sinais e sintomas, tratamentos fisioterap?uticos realizados, n?mero de sess?es e desfecho. Os dados foram analisados atrav?s do software SPSS e o n?vel de signific?ncia adotado (&#61537;) foi de 5%. Para o total de idosos a m?dia de idade foi 70,1?7,9 anos, predominaram mulheres (66,7%), com resid?ncia pr?xima (45%) e bairros distantes (55%) incluindo residentes da regi?o metropolitana e tratamento financiado pelo sistema de sa?de suplementar atrav?s de cooperativa m?dica (54,4%). Houve preval?ncia significativa das DOMA (74%; p<0,0001) em compara??o aos outros grupos de doen?as (aparelho respirat?rio, geniturin?rio, nervoso, amputa??es e outras), as quais apresentaram associa??o significativa com o sexo feminino, enquanto o sexo masculino ficou associado a doen?as dos aparelhos respirat?rio e circulat?rio. As DOMA mais prevalentes foram as artropatias (25,6%) e as dorsopatias (34,6%) e, dentre as ?ltimas, as mais frequentes foram ?s lombalgias (14,4%). A hipertens?o arterial sist?mica foi a comorbidade mais relatada (50,3%) e os anti-hipertensivos os medicamentos mais frequentemente utilizados (34,7%). A dor foi o sintoma mais encontrado (97,7%), seguido de limita??o da amplitude de movimento (ADM; 48,2%). Os tratamentos fisioterap?uticos mais utilizados foram a cinesioterapia (72,9%) e a eletroterapia (60,2%). O n?mero m?dio de sess?es realizadas foi 20,8?26,7 sess?es. Na resposta ao tratamento (resolutividade), a melhora da dor foi a mais frequente (98,2% dos casos v?lidos - n=227). Quanto ao desfecho, 106 pacientes (45,9% dos casos v?lidos n=231) tiveram alta. Em rela??o aos idosos encaminhados por lombalgia, 53% tinham lombalgia isolada, 21% lombociatalgia e 26% lombalgia associada a outras doen?as. Com m?dia de idade de 69,98?8,4 anos, tamb?m entre eles a maioria era mulher (69,8%), com queixa de dor (98,4), cujo tratamento fisioterap?utico (87%) consistiu de cinesioterapia e eletroterapia. Assim conclui-se que as DOMA e a lombalgia foram muito prevalentes nessa amostra, predominantemente de mulheres, com hipertens?o, em uso de anti-hipertensivos, onde foram tratadas com cinesioterapia e eletroterapia para dor e limita??o da ADM. Considerando que a Fisioterapia ? fundamental para a recupera??o da funcionalidade do idoso e, portanto, da sua independ?ncia, repensar o acesso universal e refor?ar a necessidade de CRs com uma proposta integrada de assist?ncia, surge como uma necessidade imperativa diante das prementes mudan?as demogr?ficas.
