Orientador: Antonio Guilherme Borges Neto / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Ciencias Medicas / Made available in DSpace on 2018-08-10T13:43:01Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Loureiro_AndersonBarbosa_M.pdf: 1654963 bytes, checksum: d49b2312387926f779b4d3c3fec27cfe (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: A hemorragia subaracnóide (HSA) aneurismática é causada mais comumente pela ruptura de aneurismas saculares, o que leva a um déficit motor e cognitivo importante afetando as atividades funcionais dos pacientes. A mensuração da função é importante na otimização do tratamento fisioterapêutico e alta hospitalar destes pacientes. Este estudo teve como objetivo descrever os resultados da reabilitação em pacientes submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico de clipagem aneurismática admitidos no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Estadual de Campinas. Os pacientes foram avaliados por meio dos seguintes instrumentos: escala clínica de Hunt ¿ Hess (na internação hospitalar), que avalia o estado clínico do paciente; a escala neurorradiográfica de Fisher (na internação hospitalar), que avalia a quantidade de sangue no espaço subaracnóide; medida de independência funcional (MIF) (no pós-operatório e alta hospitalar) e escala de prognóstico de Glasgow (na alta hospitalar). Os pacientes foram submetidos ao tratamento fisioterapêutico durante todo o período de internação (dois atendimentos diários). Para comparar os valores da MIF entre admissão e alta foi realizado o teste de Wilcoxon, para verificar a correlação entre os instrumentos de avaliação foi utilizado o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Foram avaliados 13 pacientes, 12 (92.31%) mulheres e um homem, com predomínio de aneurismas na artéria cerebral média (53.85%). A idade média foi de 51.62 (DP 13.04) anos. Ocorreu diferença estatística significativa entre as avaliações da MIF (admissão 56.92 ± 23.42; alta 91.77 ± 20.32; p < 0.001). Não foi encontrada correlação significativa entre a MIF e a escala clínica de Hunt-Hess (r = - 0.16282; p = 0.5951), escala neurorradiografica de Fisher (r = 0.06935; p = 0.8219) e a escala de prognóstico de Glasgow (r = 0.24972; p = 0.4106). Os pacientes apresentaram melhoras funcionais após o procedimento cirúrgico e tratamento fisioterapêutico demonstradas de forma quantitativa por meio da MIF e não foi encontrada relação das medidas clínicas com os resultados funcionais / Abstract: Subarachnoid hemorrhage results in critical motor and cognitive impairment which leads to dysfunctions causing a negative impact in quality of life. The functional independence measure (FIM) scale is the most widely accepted functional assessment measure in use in the rehabilitation community. The aim of this study was to describe the rehabilitation outcome after a surgical aneurysm occlusion realized in patients admitted in the Clinical Hospital of Campinas State University ¿ UNICAMP. Patients were submitted to the Hunt-Hess and Fisher assessment scales after admission in to the hospital; to the FIM after surgery; and to FIM and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) after hospital discharge. The days in the hospital were counted, patients had physical therapy twice a day and the injured arteries were identified. Thirteen patients, 12 woman¿s (92,31%) with aneurysm predominant in middle cerebral artery (53,85%) were evaluated. The mean age was 51, 62 (DP 13,04) years old. The mean FIM rate, between the admission and the discharge period, was 34,85 (DP 20,85), with average of 5-69 points (p<0,001). There was non significant correlation between the FIM, Hunt-Hess, Fisher and GOS. The subarachnoid hemorrhage is a catastrophic neurologic event that results in motor and cognitive impairment. The FIM could have an important role in predict the neurorehabilitation outcome in acute aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage / Mestrado / Ciencias Biomedicas / Mestre em Ciências Médicas

Causing the loss of functional independence and reduced expectation and quality of life. The objective of this study was to evaluate if the photobiomodulation is able to influence the treatment of LM, promoting greater functionality and directly reflecting the quality of life of these individuals. Methods: The sample consisted of 25 patients. They were divided into two groups (Control and Photobiomodulation). The control group received physiotherapeutic treatment plus placebo photobiomodulation and the Photobiomodulation group received physiotherapeutic treatment and 12 sessions of low power laser therapy three times a week. All subjects completed the Life Quality Questionnaire (WHOQOL-bref) and the Functional Independence Measure (MIF) scale before, immediately after and 30 days after photobiomodulation. The data were analyzed statistically accepting a p <0.05 and the Shapiro-Wilk test was used for data normality. For the non-parametric variables, the following tests were used: Friedman and Mann-Whitney and for anova parametric variables for repeated measurements and Pearson correlation. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the groups Photobiomodulation and control, in any of the domains and periods evaluated in the MIF. In the comparison between the groups, statistically significant results were observed in the psychological (0.001), Social (0.001) and General Quality of Life (0.001) domains. Statistically significant results were observed in the correlation between Physical domain and Perception of Quality of life (0.018 and 0.001, respectively) in the periods before and after 30 days of photobiomodulation. Conclusion: It was concluded that FBM was able to promote a significant influence in the social and psychological domains of individuals with LM, representing a good perception in the general quality of life of this population, but did not promote an influence on the functional independence of individuals with LM. / Introdução: A lesão medular (LM) é um evento trágico que pode afetar profundamente a vida de um paciente, com implicações físicas, psicológicas, sociais e ambientais. Causando a perda da independência funcional e redução da expectativa e qualidade de vida. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar se a fotobiomodulação é capaz de influenciar no tratamento de LM, promovendo maior funcionalidade e refletindo diretamente na qualidade de vida desses indivíduos. Métodos: A amostra foi composta de 25 pacientes. Foram divididos em dois grupos (Controle e Fotobiomodulação). O grupo controle recebeu o tratamento fisioterápico mais a fotobiomodulação placebo e o grupo Fotobiomodulação recebeu o tratamento fisioterápico e 12 sessões de laserterapia de baixa potência, três vezes por semana. Todos os indivíduos preencheram o Questionário de qualidade Vida (WHOQOL-bref) e a escala da Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF) antes, imediatamente após e 30 dias após a fotobiomodulação. Os dados foram analisados estatisticamente aceitando um p<0,05 e empregou-se o teste de Shapiro-Wilk para normalidade dos dados. Para as variáveis não paramétricas foi utilizado os testes: Friedman e Mann-Whitney e para as variáveis paramétricas anova para medidas repetidas e correlação de Pearson. Resultados: Não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos Fotobiomodulação e controle, em nenhum dos domínios e períodos avaliados na MIF. Na comparação entre os grupos foram observados resultados estatisticamente significantes nos domínios psicológico (0,001), Social (0,001) e Qualidade de Vida Geral (0,001). Observou-se resultados estatisticamente significantes na correlação entre domínio Físico e a Percepção da Qualidade de vida (0,018 e 0,001, respectivamente) nos períodos pré e pós 30 dias da fotobiomodulação. Conclusão: Concluiu-se que a FBM foi capaz de promover uma influência significante nos domínios social e psicológico dos indivíduos com LM, representando uma boa percepção na qualidade de vida geral desta população, porém não promoveu uma influência na independência funcional dos indivíduos com LM.

EXPLORING BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL (BPS) FACETS OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD) IN PATIENTS IN AN ACUTE INPATIENT PHYSICAL REHABILITATION FACILITY (IRF)

Williams, Ronnetta 01 January 2013 (has links)
From a BPS perspective, COPD and other chronic diseases may have a significant negative impact on those living with them and may be associated with higher rates of depression and anxiety and lower levels of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Certain factors, such as spirituality, may influence the negative impact of chronic disease on the relationship between mood and functional independence and HRQOL. Also, gender may influence the relationship between mood, spirituality, and HRQOL for men and women living with chronic diseases. The current study included 136 patients undergoing physical rehabilitation at an IRF. Anxiety, depression, spirituality, HRQOL, and functional independence were evaluated for all. Mediation models were tested to determine the impact of spirituality on the relationships between mood and HRQOL and functional independence, and moderation models were tested to evaluate the impact of gender on the relationships between mood, spirituality, functional independence, and HRQOL. The current study yielded some inconclusive results but did evidence that COPD patients in acute inpatient physical rehabilitation facilities (IRF) have higher levels of anxiety than patients without COPD and also revealed that men with COPD have better HRQOL than do women with COPD. Spirituality was found to partially mediate the relationship between depression and HRQOL in IRF patients with COPD, but gender did not appear to moderate the relationships between mood, spirituality, functional independence, or HRQOL in IRF patients. As few studies on IRF patients with chronic diseases exist, continuing to evaluate patients in IRFs is important to enhance our BPS understanding of chronic disease.

The present study aimed to describe the level of functional independence, mobility thick and school participation of children with CP; to analyze the association between the level of functional independence and motor skills of children with CP; to analyze the association between the level of functional independence and school participation children with CP; to analyze the association between motor skills and school participation of children with CP. The sample comprised 31 children aged 1 to 11 years who attend regularly Association of Clinical Pestalozzi Goiânia and CORAE, their parents and / or guardians and teachers. In the evaluation we used the the Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) instruments, Sheet neurological assessment, socioeconomic assessment, Pediatric Evalution of Disability Inventory (PEDI), Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) and School Function Assessement (SFA). This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the UFG and developed by signing the Term of Informed Consent of participants. The characterization data of the sample were analyzed using descriptive statistics. We conducted Pearson correlation test to check the correlation coefficient between functional independence, motor function and school participation. In all analyzes was the significance level of 5%. The results showed that children who have a higher level of functional independence and improved performance in motor function receive less assistance and adaptations in their school activities. In turn, children more dependent on functionality and gross motor skills have more difficulties in social relationships and school adjustment. These results may be useful for the functional characterization of this clinical group; adaptations of the school environment, the choice of direction for reviews; better targeting of assistance provided; and planning of clinical interventions. / A paralisia cerebral (PC) é uma condição clínica que gera alta prevalência de problemas nas atividades funcionais e no controle dos movimentos voluntários das crianças. O presente estudo teve por objetivos descrever o nível de independência funcional, motricidade grossa e participação escolar de crianças com PC; analisar a associação entre o nível de independência funcional e a motricidade de crianças com PC; analisar a associação entre o nível de independência funcional e a participação escolar de crianças com PC; analisar a associação entre a motricidade e a participação escolar de crianças com PC. A amostra foi composta por 31 crianças com idade entre um e 11 anos que frequentam regularmente o Setor Clínico da Associação Pestalozzi de Goiânia e do CORAE, seus respectivos pais e/ou responsável e professores. Na avaliação utilizou-se os instrumentos Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS), Ficha de avaliação neurológica, Avaliação socioeconômica, Pediatric Evalution of Disability Inventory (PEDI), Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) e School Function Assessement (SFA). Este estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da UFG e desenvolvido mediante o consentimento dos participantes. Os dados de caracterização da amostra e da participação escolar foram analisados através de estatística descritiva. Foi realizado teste de Correlação de Pearson para verificar o coeficiente de correlação entre independência funcional, função motora e participação escolar. Em todas as análises realizadas foi adotado o nível de significância de 5%. Os resultados mostraram que as crianças que apresentam um maior nível de independência funcional e um melhor desempenho na função motora recebem menos adaptações e assistência nas suas atividades escolares. Por sua vez, crianças mais dependentes na funcionalidade e na motricidade grossa apresentam mais dificuldades nas relações sociais e adaptação escolar. Esses resultados podem ser úteis para a caracterização funcional deste grupo clínico; as adaptações do meio escolar; o direcionamento para escolha de avaliações; melhor direcionamento das assistências fornecidas; e planejamento das intervenções clínicas.

Nível de independência funcional de idosos com Doença de Alzheimer / Functional independence level of elderly people with Alzheimer\'s disease

Talmelli, Luana Flávia da Silva 11 September 2009 (has links)
Capacidade funcional surge como novo conceito quando aborda a saúde do idoso, principalmente em se tratando de idosos com doença de Alzheimer (DA) onde o déficit cognitivo é esperado aliado ao funcional. Dessa forma as pesquisas relacionadas à capacidade funcional do idoso com DA vêm ao encontro das questões relacionadas ao cuidado desse idoso. Trata-se de um estudo observacional e transversal que teve com objetivo identificar comorbidades dos idosos com DA, mensurar nível de independência funcional, segundo a Medida da Independência Funcional (MIF), comparando com o estagiamento da demência, segundo a Avaliação Clínica da demência (Clinical Dementia Rating scale - CDR). A amostra foi constituída de 67 idosos. Os dados foram coletados em entrevistas domiciliares, utilizando-se de instrumento para identificação e perfil sociodemográfico, do Mini Exame do Estado Mental (MEEM) para avaliação do déficit cognitivo, da Medida de Independência Funcional (MIF) para avaliação da funcionalidade e, para estagiamento da demência, foi utilizada CDR. A média de idade dos idosos foi de 79 anos (+ 7,2), sendo 41,8% na faixa etária entre 75-79 anos. Houve predominio de mulheres 77,6% e viúvos 49,3%. Os idosos possuíam média de escolaridade de 5,6 anos, 73,1% tinham renda própria, 46,3% possuíam renda familiar de até 5 salários mínimos e residiam em média com 3,5 pessoas. Quanto às comorbidades existentes, 23,9 não possuíam e 53,7% tinham hipertensão arterial. O déficit cognitivo foi de 82%, e a média no MEEM de 9,3. Sobre o estagiamento da demência, 46,3% apresentavam demência grave, 22,4%% demência moderada e 31,3% demência leve. Quanto a funcionalidade, a variação dos escores observados na MIF foi igual à variação possível para MIF motora. A média geral da MIF global encontrada foi 71,1, a médias da MIF global foram 107,9; 84,5 e 39,7 para os idosos com demência leve, moderada e grave respectivamente. Os idosos com demência leve possuíam independência modificada ou necessitavam de supervisão, aqueles com demência moderada possuíam dependência mínima ou necessidade de supervisão e os idosos com demência grave eram totalmente dependentes. Foi encontrada forte correlação entre o nível de independência funcional (MIF global) com o estágio da demência e com o desempenho cognitivo (p<0,001). Não foram encontradas correlações estatisticamente significantes entre a funcionalidade e idade, sexo e presença de (co)morbidades. Concluiu-se que a capacidade funcional dos idosos com DA está relacionada ao estágio da demência, isto é, quanto mais grave a demência, maior o nível da dependência. / Functional capacity emerges as a new concept in elderly health, mainly with respect to elderly people with Alzheimers disease (AD), when a cognitive deficit is expected, connected with a functional deficit. Thus, research on functional capacity in elderly people with AD is relevant for elderly care delivery. This observational, crosssectional study aimed to identify co-morbidities of elderly people with AD, to measure the functional independence level according to the Functional Independence Measure (FIM), in comparison with the dementia staging according to the Clinical Dementia Rating scale (CDR). The sample consisted of 67 elderly. Data were collected during interviews at the elderlys home, using an identification and sociodemographic profile instrument, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to assess cognitive deficit; the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for functional assessment, and CDR to asses dementia staging. The mean age was 79 years (+ 7.2), with 41.8% between 75 and 79 years old. Women 77.6% and widowed people 49.3% were predominant. The elderlys mean education level was 5.6 years, 73.1% gained their own income, 46.3% gained a family income of up to 5 minimum wages and lived with an average of 3.5 people. As to existing co-morbidities, 23.9 had none and 53.7% had arterial hypertension. The cognitive deficit was 82% and the mean MMSE score 9.3. In dementia staging, 46.3% presented severe, 22.4%% moderate and 31.3% light dementia. With respect to functionality, the variation in FIM scores was equal to the possible variation for motor FIM. The mean global general FIM score was 71.1, the mean global FIM scores were 107.9 for light; 84.5 for moderate and 39.7 for severe dementia. Elderly with light dementia displayed modified independence or needed supervision; those with moderate dementia showed minimal dependence or supervision and elderly with severe dementia were fully dependent. A strong correlation was found between the functional independence level (global FIM) and dementia stage and with cognitive performance (p<0.001). No statistically significant correlations were found between functionality and age, gender and presence of co-morbidities. It was concluded that the functional capacity of elderly people with AD is related with the stage of dementia, that is, the more severe the dementia, the higher the level of dependence will be.

Identifying Changes in Resilience during Rehabilitation from a Spinal Cord Injury

White, Brian Dale 05 1900 (has links)
The study purposes were to identify changes in resilience, satisfaction with life (SWL), depression, spirituality, and functional independence (FI) and to examine the relationship between these variables, during the inpatient rehabilitation for a spinal cord injury (SCI). The sample included 42 individuals with a SCI, 33 males and 9 females, who were inpatients with a mean stay of 52 days (SD = 15.78). A repeated measures design was employed with questionnaires completed at three times during rehabilitation. Results indicated that there were significant changes in depression, satisfaction with life, spirituality, and FI during inpatient rehabilitation. Findings also indicated significant correlations between resilience, SWL, spirituality, and depression. Future studies developing interventions, and examining factors that predict resilience could help build resilience and may improve rehabilitation outcomes.

Étude de l’évolution des aptitudes physiques durant la réadaptation fonctionnelle intensive (RFI) chez les blessés médullaires traumatiques

Girard, Anne-Marie 12 1900 (has links)
La récupération optimale des amplitudes articulaires (AAs) et de la force musculaire est un objectif crucial de la réadaptation fonctionnelle intensive (RFI) à la suite d’une lésion médullaire (LM). Le but de la présente étude était de documenter les changements d’AAs des membres supérieurs durant la RFI chez des individus (n = 197) ayant subi une LM et d’établir le lien avec l’autonomie fonctionnelle. Les données (AA, force musculaire, spasticité, déficiences secondaires, autonomie fonctionnelle) ont été collectées à l’admission et au congé de la RFI. Des analyses descriptives, des tests d’association entre les changements d’AAs et des variables indépendantes (douleur, spasticité, déficiences secondaires, force) et des analyses multivariées ont été utilisées. Les individus ayant une paraplégie présentent peu de déficit d’AAs à l’épaule comparés à ceux ayant une tétraplégie. Parmi ces derniers, une majorité présente des AAs sous les valeurs de normalité en fin de RFI. Le groupe D, établi selon l’évaluation de l’American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA D) présente des pertes d’AAs plus importante qu’attendue. La douleur au niveau articulaire est un facteur influençant les changements d’AAs, particulièrement dans ce groupe. La force musculaire chez les personnes ayant une tétraplégie sévère (ASIA ABC) est plus faible que celle du groupe ayant une lésion moins sévère (ASIA D). Généralement, le gain de force corrèle avec le gain d’AA. La force musculaire, les AAs et le nombre de déficiences secondaires sont les principaux éléments influençant l’autonomie fonctionnelle. En conclusion, la perte d’AA est plus importante à l’articulation de l’épaule et, pour plusieurs individus, malgré un gain significatif, les AAs n’atteignent pas les valeurs de référence au congé de la RFI. La force musculaire et certaines déficiences secondaires sont des éléments à considérer pour expliquer les pertes d’AAs et d’autonomie fonctionnelle. Les études futures devront clarifier certains aspects dont l’atteinte de la rotation médiale qui semble montrer un patron différent de récupération en comparaison des autres mouvements de l’épaule. De plus, les études devront montrer si ces changements et résultats sont maintenus après le congé de la RFI. / Optimal recovery of range of motion (ROM) and strength are critical objectives of intensive rehabilitation following spinal cord injury (SCI). The aim of this study was to characterize the evolution of ROM and strength at the upper limb and analyze their relationship with functional independence during intensive rehabilitation. Data ROM, strength, spasticity, secondary impairments, functional independence) from 197 participants with SCI were collected at admission and discharge from intensive rehabilitation and were analyzed with descriptive statistics and multivariate analyses (regressions, ANOVA). Specific association analyses were used to determine the level of association between ROM, strength and independent variables such as pain, spasticity and secondary impairments. Lesser deficit in ROM was observed in participants with paraplegia compared to those with tetraplegia. The deficit in individuals with tetraplegia was larger to an extent that most of them did not reach normality in ROM at shoulder joint. Surprisingly, individuals with less severe injury according to the American Spinal Injury Association classification (ASIA D) showed larger deficit of ROM than expected. Joint pain was related to reduce ROM, particularly in participants with ASIA D lesion. Values of muscle strength in individuals with more severe tetraplegia (ASIA ABC) are lower than the ones observed in individuals with less severe injury (ASIA D). Overall, strength and ROM were correlated, except for medial rotation movement. ROM, strength, and secondary impairments are the major determinants of functional independence. In conclusion, shoulder joint was the most affected joint of the upper limb, and, despite of significant gains of ROM, abnormalities were greater than expected. Strength and some secondary impairment were related in loss of ROM and functional independence throughout rehabilitation. More study will be needed to understand the medial rotation movement at the shoulder that seems to evolve differently from other movements, and to determine whether or not changes observed during rehabilitation are maintained over time.
