As palmilhas posturais são órteses plantares e foram desenvolvidas por Bourdiol um pouco antes de 1980. Seu princípio está fundamentado na ação de peças podais, as quais são chamadas de elementos, barras, cunhas e calços, que são colocados sob a pele e os músculos plantares, reprogramando a postura. Na avaliação postural são observadas as variáveis descritas no protocolo CNT (assimetria dos membros superiores, assimetria das cristas ilíacas, assimetrias das Espinhas Ilíacas Póstero- Superiores - EIPS, etc.). A postura corporal é descrita como um processo de inter-relacionamento relativo das partes do corpo, havendo equilíbrio entre os ossos, músculos, tendões e ligamentos, estruturas que sustentam e protegem o corpo contra agentes externos ou internos. O objetivo deste estudo foi verificar os efeitos das palmilhas posturais sobre a postura corporal de escolares. Os objetivos específicos foram descrever as características posturais dos participantes durante a utilização das palmilhas posturais e verificar as alterações da pressão plantar dos escolares, durante a utilização das palmilhas. Foram avaliados 6 alunos da 3° série do ensino fundamental da Rede Particular da cidade de Porto Alegre – RS, todos do sexo masculino. Para a coleta de dados foi utilizada a avaliação postural através do Programa computacional para avaliação postural (PCAP) e através de um baropodômetro eletrônico. Os escolares foram avaliados pelo protocolo CNT, e através desta avaliação foram definidas quais peças podais seriam utilizadas na confecção das palmilhas. Os escolares foram avaliados primeiramente sem usar as palmilhas posturais, e em seguida fazendo uso das palmilhas, para fins de comparação. Os resultados da avaliação postural demonstraram alterações na postura corporal dos escolares em relação ao protocolo CNT ao utilizar as palmilhas posturais. E os resultados obtidos através do teste de Wilcoxon, com o nível de significância de 5% apontaram diferença significativa na avaliação da pressão plantar na região posterior do pé esquerdo ao utilizar as palmilhas posturais. Conclui-se que a utilização das palmilhas posturais provoca alteração na postura corporal de escolares, e que a pressão plantar apresenta mudanças ao utilizar as palmilhas posturais, com diferença estatisticamente significativa na região posterior do pé esquerdo (p=0,028). As outras regiões do pé apresentaram uma melhor distribuição das pressões, porém seus dados não foram estatisticamente significativos. / Postural insoles are plantar orthosis developed by Bourdiol some time before 1980. Its principle is based on the action of podal pieces, which are called elements, bars, wedges and chocks that are placed under the skin and the plantar muscles, reprogramming the body posture. In postural evaluation, the variables described in CNT protocol are observed. The body posture is described as a process of relative inter-relationship of the body parts, balancing bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments, structures that support and protect the body against external or internal agents. The aim of this study was to verify the effect of postural insoles on the body posture of schoolchildren. The specific objectives had been to describe the postural characteristics of the subjects before and after the use of postural insoles and to verify the alterations on the plantar pressure of schoolchildren, before and after the use of the insoles. Six male pupils attending the third grade of elementary school from the city of Porto Alegre - RS had been evaluated. For the data collection, postural evaluation was analyzed through a computational program for postural evaluation (CPPE) and through an electronic baropodometer. The schoolchildren were evaluated by CNT protocol, and through this evaluation were defined which podal pieces would be used in the confection of the insoles. The schoolchildren had been first evaluated without the use of postural insoles, and after that making use of the insoles, for comparison reasons. The results of the postural evaluation demonstrate body posture alterations on schoolchildren when using the insoles. The results obtained through the Wilcoxon test, with 5% of significance, point statistical difference in the evaluation of the plantar pressure in the posterior region of the left foot when using the postural insoles. One can conclude that the use of postural insoles causes alteration in the body posture of schoolchildren. Also, that the plantar pressure presents changes when postural insoles are used, with statistical significance in the posterior region of the left foot (p=0,028). Other regions of the foot had presented a better pressure distribution, however its data had not been statistical significant.

Dans la partie introductive de cette thèse sont illustrés le cadre théorique dans lequel se situent les études sur la reconnaissance du soi corporel. En outre, ce chapitre traite de la façon dont la reconnaissance visuelle des visages et des corps, et de la spécificité de la reconnaissance de son propre visage et de son propre corps, s’effectuent. Le deuxième chapitre décrit une étude menée chez des sujets sains, qui examine l'excitabilité du cortex moteur primaire dans le processus de reconnaissance de soi et de l’autre. Le troisième chapitre illustre l'expérience réalisé pour étudier la contribution du mouvement dans la reconnaissance du soi corporel chez des sujets neurologiquement sains et chez les patients avec lésion cérébrale de l’hémisphère droit. Le quatrième chapitre porte sur le développement du soi corporel chez les enfants avec un développement atypique, souffrant de troubles du spectre autistique à haut fonctionnement, avec une attention particulière au rôle des émotions dans la reconnaissance de postures émotionnels, propres et autrui. Enfin, le cinquième chapitre est consacré au rôle du geste dans la reconnaissance du propre corps et celui des autres / The first chapter describes the theoretical framework of self-body recognition and the processing that allow us to distinguish one’s own body and face from body and face of someone else. The second chapter will investigate motor cortex excitability during self/other recognition processing in healthy subjects. The results show an increment of motor corticospinal excitability in the right hemisphere following the presentation of self stimuli (hand and phone), at 600 and 900 ms after stimulus presentation, providing evidences about neural substrates and temporal processes underlying self-body recognition. The third chapter will describe the role of the movement in self bodily recognition in healthy subjects and in patients with right brain damage. The evidence show that patients, who did not show the advantage in the implicit recognition of self static body parts, present this advantage in the implicit recognition of self dynamic body parts. The fourth chapter focuses on the development of the bodily self in children with typical development and in children with autism, with respect to the recognition of self/other emotional body postures. First, this study shows that the advantage in bodily self processing is preserved in children with autism. Second, emotional body postures modulated self and others body processing in typically developing children, as well as in children with autism. The fifth chapter deals with the role of hand gestures in self/other bodily recognition processing, showing that the meaning of a gesture modulates the self/other processing. The processing of others’ hand is facilitated with meaningful compared to meaningless gestures

Neste estudo, são abordados dois fatores que julgamos fundamentais: a postura corporal e a nutrição. Um representa o equilíbrio corporal entre as forças internas e externas, tendo em vista serem estruturas que se juntam, o outro, representa nossa vida, já que o organismo humano consome energia proveniente da alimentação, tanto para suas tarefas fisiológicas diárias quanto para desencadear o processo de crescimento, constituindo assim requisitos importantes para uma vida saudável. Entendendo isto, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a postura corporal e aspectos nutricionais em escolares de ambos os sexos de 5a. à 8a. séries do ensino fundamental da rede pública. Foi utilizado um protocolo de avaliação desenvolvido especialmente para o estudo, com vistas a obter o perfil desses escolares referente às rotinas e hábitos posturais. Foram realizadas medidas antropométricas e dobras cutâneas sendo os dados tabulados. Para detectar os problemas posturais (desvios e assimetrias) foi realizada Avaliação Postural Computadorizada utilizando o Software Análise Postural desenvolvido pela Micromed versão 3.0. Os dados foram tabulados estatisticamente de acordo com o Teste Statística versão 5.0. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a desnutrição, assim como a obesidade devido à má alimentação associa-se aos problemas posturais e, caso não sejam tratados em tempo hábil, perdurarão na vida toda destes escolares / Abstract: For the human being to have a good life, it is necessary a good health and for this to happen we depend on bio-psycho-social factors. This study approaches two factors, which are believed to be fundamental: the body posture and nutrition. One represents the balance of the body between the internal and external forces, having in mind that those are joint structures, the other, represents our lives, because the human body uses energy from feeding for its physiological tasks as well as for triggering the process of growing up, forming important requirements for a healthy life. The aim of this work is to study of the body posture and its nutritional aspects of the students, males and females, from the 5th to 8th grades of public schools. Accurate studies made it necessary to develop a specific evaluation protocol in order to get the student's profile regarding their routine and posture habits. Anthropometrics measures and skinfold thickness were used according to the world Health Organization's classification ¿ OMS (1997) classification. In order to detect posture problems, such as deviations and asymmetries it was used the computerized posture evaluation through the Micromed Software version 3.0. The data was statistically set according to the student's T Test 5.0. The results pointed out that high index of malnutrition, as well as obesity, related to poor feeding and heavy work were associated to posture problems, and if these problems were not treated soon enough they will last for all these students' lifetime / Mestrado / Ciencia do Desporto / Mestre em Educação Física

Title: Inclusion of compensatory exercises in preschool education and their impact Objectives: The aim of this work is to verify the effect of the intervention exercise program in preschool education. The next object was to evaluate the postural position of selected group of preschool children. Methods: In our empirical-theoretical work we were used the methods of comparative analysis of literature with the topic of the work. We used input and output measurements by Matthias's test. From the initial testing of 60 preschool children we selected 7 individuals with the worst results who were included in the intervention program. After the intervention we re-evaluated the postural body position of 7 individuals together with 7 preschool children in the control group. We used the method of observation during testing and during the intervention and we used mathematical-statistical methods also. Results: We were found that in a sample of 60 children had 8.4 % poor posture but it is a better score than in similarly focused studies. Seven children with the worst evaluated results were included in the intervention exercise program. After the intervention program we measured better results in postural body position in 5 individuals. Based on the results of the experiment it can be said that compensatory...

Title: Evaluation of actual state of children locomotor system for students of primary school. Objectives: Determine the current satus of locomotor system of children of primary school age by assessing a body posture of chosen sample of children and create compensation exercises for school and after-school physical education moments. Methods: We used the method of aspection in which we were watching deviations in body posture of different parts of body and their mutual position in sagittal and lateral view with using the test of Jaroš and Lomíček, Klein and Thomas. Results: We found out that within the chosen sample more than half participants have a correct body posture. Nevertheless, 48,5 % of participants have defective body posture. Weakening occurred primarily in the abdominal area and pelvis, in the back curve and when looking from behind a lot of participants have left to stand shoulder blades. Keywords: physical education moment, poor body posture, muscle imbalance, compensatory exercises.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Enio Lopes Mello.pdf: 2559037 bytes, checksum: b6e5f1087adf57342b41295b4091a8cb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-12-11 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / Opera singing is an activity which requires refinement of motor coordination, in order to gain posture control during the vocal emission, and body awareness to ensure harmonization of gestures with the self-image. Often, the difficulty in promoting adjustments in posture can compromise quality and voice control. That occurs due to the close relationship between the larynx intrinsic and extrinsic musculatures, the cervical vertebrae, as well as the whole body, during singing. Objective: assess the sopranos' posture and voice, during tne singing of an opera aria; and discuss the relationship between postural and vocal signs and self-image. in opera singers. Method: this thesis is composed of two different studies. The first study is a transversal evaluation of posture and voice in 18 sÔpranos, during the rendering of an opera aria, through, respectively, computerized photogrammetry and acoustic analysis. The second study is a semiological reflection on the analysis of the posture signs, in relation to opera singers' body and vocal self-image. Results: in study 1 significant correlations (alpha 0,05) became evident, between postural changes of lower limbs, hips, torso and head, and voice, during the emission of notes F4, A4 and in the repetition of A4. According to the factorial analysis the position of the hS,ad configured an influent factor, to the vocal changes. In study 2, the semiology of the opera singer's body posture, voice and self-image resulted in a discussion, which was organized in three topics: 1- Singularity and perception; 2- Image and expression, constituted by the movement and 3- Posture, voice and self¬image. Final considerations: the first study revealed that the sopranos did hyperextension of lower limbs, hip anteversion, backwards inclination 'of torso and headextension in the lateral plane. Simultaneously, there was a decrease in the singers' formants values and increase in the intensity of the voice. The second study displayed the idea that the opera singer alters the perception of herself, at each new rendering. That can create new signs to the gestures and modify the self-image / O canto lírico é uma atividade que requer refinamento da coordenação motora, para obter controle da postura durante a emissão vocal, e consciência corporal para garantir harmonização dos gestos com a autoimagem. Muitas vezes, a dificuldade em promover ajustes na postura pode comprometer a qualidade e o controle da voz. Isto ocorre devido à estreita relação que existe entre a musculatura intrínseca e extrínseca da laringe, com as vértebras cervicais, bem como com o corpo todo, durante o canto. Objetivo: avaliar a postura e a voz de¬ sopranos, durante a execução de uma ária de ópera; e discutir as relações dos signos posturais e vocais com a autoimagem em cantores líricos. Método: a tese é composta por dois estudos distintos. O primeiro estudo é uma avaliação transversal da postura e da voz em 18 sopranos, durante a interpretação de uma ária de ópera, por meio, respectivamente, da fotogrametria computadorizada e da análise acústica. O segundo estudo é uma reflexão semiológica voltada para análise dos signos da postura, em' relação à autoimagem corporal e vocal de cantores líricos. Resultados: no estudo 1 evidenciou-se correlações significantes (alfa :5 0,05), entre as mudanças posturais dos membros inferiores, bacia, tronco e cabeça, e a voz, durqnte a emissão das notas Fa4, La4 e na repetição de La4. Segundo a análise atorial a posição da cabeça configurou um fator influente, para as mudanças vocais. No estudo 2, a semiologia da postura corporal, da voz e da autoimagem do cantor lírico resultaram em uma discussão, que foi organizada em três tópicos: 1- Singularidade e percepção; 2- Imagem e expressão, constituídos pelo movimento e 3- Postura, voz e autoimagem. Considerações finais: o primeiro estudo revelou que as sopranos fizeram hiperextensão dos membros inferiores, anteversão da bacia, inclinação do tronco para trás e extensão da 'cabeça no plano lateral. Concomitante, houve diminuição nos valores dos formantes do cantor e aumento na intensidade da voz. O segundo estudo expôs a ideia de que o cantor lírico altera a percepção de si mesmo, a cada nova interpretação. Isso pode criar novos signos para os gestos, e modificar a autoimagem

The thesis deals with the effect of sports aerobics on correct body posture. Two groups of probands will be compared based on testing. One group has been actively practicing sports aerobics for several years. On the other hand, the second group will include girls who do reacreational sports only. The first group consists of girls representing the Czech Republic at international competitions and practicing sports aerobics in the 1st performance class. The second group of probands consists of students of the 3rd year of the Secondary Vocational School, Sedlčany, Petra Bezruče 364. The thesis will focus on the comparison of the effect of sports aerobics on body posture. In addition, compensatory exercises will be designed to help to eliminate muscle imbalance. The thesis will introduce common exercise aids, which can affect the correct body posture and which can be used in exercises not only for sports aerobics training, but also within the classes of school physical education.

In recent decades scientists have been showing more interest in researching how a human body changes while growing during childhood. It is obvious that prevention of functional and structural bodily disorders have to start in early school years. So far it is not fully explored why such changes occur during this period of life. The correct evaluation of the development of bone and muscle structure and of cardiovascular system, the early diagnosis of any deviations and employment of adequate measures of prevention of structural and functional changes are very important. The aim of the study is o investigate the correlation between structural and functional parameters of a growing body. Objectives: 1.To evaluate changes of structural and functional parameters in children and adolescents according to age. 2.To evaluate changes of structural and functional parameters in children and adolescents according to gender. 3.To determine age related correlations among structural and functional body parameters in children and adolescents. 4.To determine correlations among structural and functional body parameters in children and adolescents related to gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred and twenty four school age children (aged 7-18 years) participated in the study. Methods: The bicycle (VEM) veloergometry test, ECG, ABP, HR measurements, dynamometry, cirtometry, scoliometry. Conclusions. Thoracic kyphosis in boys decreased with age. Parameters of body posture in frontal plane did... [to full text]

This study aimed to review the specialized literature on respiratory, postural and vocal manifestations, associated to stages in Parkinson´s Disease and its possible interrelations, as well as, aging in phonation. Method: Some researches were carried based in articles in some databases: Lilacs, Bireme, PubMed, MedLine, Scielo and Google Schoolar, besides books, theses, dissertations and the Internet. Results: senescence is a physiological process to all human beings, generating anatomical and functional changes, especially at the age of 60, as muscular atrophy, calcification of the laryngeal cartilage, and reduction in respiratory capacity, reflecting on the voice through changes in pitch, instability, decrease in the maximum phonation time and restriction of vocal intensity. Parkinson´s Disease causes a series of functional alterations, e.g., rigidity, shaking, bradikinesia, reduction in the respiratory muscular strength, in maximum phonation time and vocal intensity, as well as postural changes. Its repercussions occur simultaneously, due to the muscle chains, body posture, respiratory and, consequently, phonation. Postural deviations, as the head forward positioning, shoulder protrusion and chest hyperciphosis are common in aging and PD and contribute to vocal disturbances through biomechanic disadvantages, especially in the cervical-scapular segment. Associated to postural alterations, is the decreasing in the respiratory muscular strength, causing the chest to expand less, reduction in the lungs volume and capacity, interfering in vocal production. There is a tendency for these disturbances to occur more frequently and with more gravity according to the stage in which the parkinsonian is. Conclusion: Based in the premisse that the human movement and its disorders, as well as the comunication disturbances, from aging and neurological diseases are interrelated by means of complex neural and muscle-skeleton nets, it becomes essential for a better understanding of the integration of physiotherapy and speech therapy, in order to have a complementarity, aiming the Parksonian's well-being. / Este estudo objetivou realizar uma revisão de literatura sobre as manifestações respiratórias, posturais e vocais, associadas aos estágios da Doença de Parkinson e suas possíveis inter-relações, bem como, o envelhecimento na fonação. Método: Realizaram-se buscas a partir de publicações nas bases de dados Lilacs, Bireme, PubMed, MedLine, Scielo e Google Schoolar, tendo sido utilizados também livros, teses, dissertações e Internet. Resultados: a senescência é um processo fisiológico a todos os seres humanos, gerando modificações anátomo-funcionais, especialmente a partir dos 60 anos, como atrofia muscular, calcificação das cartilagens laríngeas, e redução na capacidade respiratória, refletindo-se na voz através de alterações no pitch, instabilidade, decréscimo dos tempos máximos de fonação e restrição à intensidade vocal. A Doença de Parkinson ocasiona uma série de alterações funcionais, por exemplo, rigidez, tremor, bradicinesia, redução na força muscular respiratória, nos tempos máximos de fonação e na intensidade vocal, bem como alterações posturais. Suas repercussões ocorrem simultaneamente, devido às cadeias musculares, na postura corporal, na respiração e, conseqüentemente, na fonação. Desvios posturais, como anteriorização da cabeça, protrusão de ombros e hipercifose torácica são comuns no envelhecimento e na DP e contribuem para os distúrbios vocais, por meio de desvantagens biomecânicas, especialmente no segmento cérvico-escapular. Associado às alterações posturais, ocorre o decréscimo na força muscular respiratória que propicia menor expansibilidade da caixa torácica, redução nos volumes e capacidades pulmonares, interferindo na produção vocal. Há uma tendência de que esses distúrbios ocorram com maior freqüência e gravidade de acordo com o estágio em que o parkinsoniano se encontra. Conclusão: Baseado na premissa de que o movimento humano e suas desordens, assim como os distúrbios da comunicação advindos tanto do envelhecimento quanto de doenças neurológicas apresentam-se inter-relacionados por meio de complexas redes neurais e músculoesqueléticas, torna-se essencial uma melhor compreensão da fisioterapia e da fonoaudiologia acerca dessas interações, a fim de que haja complementaridade, visando ao bem-estar do indivíduo.
