A proposta deste estudo foi de (1) comparar o sistema óptico de captura do movimento, com o goniômetro universal (em duas posições de medida: com os braços do goniômetro fechado e aberto) verificando a concordância intra e interexaxaminadores no movimento de abdução do ombro em indivíduos saudáveis e (2) verificar a aplicação do sistema óptico Qualisys, comparando casos patológicos com indivíduos normais. Dezessete indivíduos saudáveis foram avaliados. A análise do movimento foi instituída, utilizando o programa ¿Qview¿, e os dados exportados para o programa ¿Qtools 2.0¿ Três câmaras de vídeo com amostragem de 60 Hz foram utilizadas. Marcadores reflexíveis foram colocados em estruturas anatômicas, para a obtenção das coordenadas tridimensionais. Para verificar a concordância intra e interexaminadores no mesmo método, utilizou-se o coeficiente de correlação linear de Person, considerando (p < 0,05). Os resultados obtidos para o sistema de captura de movimento interexaminadores foram moderados (r>0,62). Para intra-examinadores, o coeficiente foi estatisticamente significante (r>0.92). Para verificar a aplicação do sistema óptico Qualisys, foi utilizado o teste de Mann-Whitney demonstrando as diferenças nos movimentos e amplitudes articulares entre ombros patológicos e normais / Abstract: Optical systems of motion capture are powerful resources of measurement to analyse the articular movement. The purpose of this study was (10 to compare the optical systems of motion capture with the universal goniometer used in two measurements; with the goniometer arms closed and opened; and to assess the agreement of intra and interexaminers in the shoulder¿s abduction movement in healthy individuals and (2) to verify the application of the Qualiys¿s optical system towards comparing pathological and healthy individual. Seventeen healthy individuals were evaluated. The movement analusis was done using ¿Qviews¿ software, the data exported to ¿Qtools 2.0¿ software. Three video cameras at 60 Hz sampling frequency were used. Reflexive marks were placed in anatomical structures, to obtain the three-dimensional coordinates. Person¿s linear correlation (p< 0.05) was used towards verifying agreement for intra and interexaminers. The interexaminers results were moderate (r>0,62). To intraexaminers result in the same method, was statistically significant (r> 0,92). Mann-Whitney test was used to verify the application of the Qualisys¿ optical system, demonstrating the differences in the movement and joint amplitudes both in pathological and normal shoulders / Mestrado / Pesquisa Experimental / Mestre em Cirurgia

Sujeitos e Métodos: Estudo prospectivo do qual participaram 89 mulheres submetidas à mastectomia radical modificada (MRM), 42 destas com reconstrução mamária imediata (MRM+RI). Foram realizadas avaliações pósoperatórias semanais da amplitude de movimento do ombro no transcurso da fisioterapia (4 semanas). Os resultados da amplitude de abdução e flexão do ombro, em graus, do membro superior ipsilateral à cirurgia foram comparados nos grupos em função das variáveis independentes e de controle. Foi aplicado modelo de regressão logística para comparação das características clínicas e epidemiológicas das mulheres nos dois grupos. Foram então calculados médias e desvios-padrão dos valores de flexão e abdução do ombro em função das características clínicas e epidemiológicas. As médias destes valores foram comparadas em modelo multivariado de análise de co-variância. Foram produzidos gráficos de interação levando em consideração o grupo (com ou sem reconstrução) e os valores médios da variação em graus de flexão e abdução nas quatro avaliações. Foi então realizada análise multivariada de variância para medidas repetidas para avaliação dos efeitos do grupo (com ou sem reconstrução) e do tempo na recuperação da ADM de abdução e flexão. Resultados: A maior parte (78%) das reconstruções foi realizada com a técnica de transposição do músculo grande dorsal com inserção de prótese siliconada. A realização de reconstrução mamária imediata não esteve relacionada com maior déficit de flexão ou abdução em qualquer dos momentos estudados. Tabagismo e presença um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares apresentaram maiores déficits de flexão ao final da série de avaliações (p=0,01, p=0,03, respectivamente). Mulheres com um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares apresentaram maior déficit de abdução no final da seqüência de avaliações (p=0,03). Houve relação significativamente positiva entre o tempo de pós-operatório e a recuperação da ADM de abdução (p<0,01) e flexão (p<0,01). Mulheres submetidas ou não à reconstrução imediata não diferiram em relação ao tempo e à recuperação da abdução (p=0,85) e flexão (p=0,74). Conclusões: A reconstrução mamária imediata não esteve relacionada com o tempo e com a recuperação da ADM de flexão ou abdução do ombro. Tabagismo e presença de um ou mais cordões linfáticos axilares estiveram negativamente relacionados com o processo de recuperação da flexão ou da abdução do ombro ipsilateral à cirurgia. / Abstract: Objective: To assess the implications of immediate breast reconstruction following radical mastectomy on shoulder range of motion (ROM). Subjects and methods: This was a prospective study on 89 women that underwent modified radical mastectomy (RM), 42 of whom with immediate breast reconstruction (RM+IBR). Postoperative weekly assessments of shoulder ROM were performed for 4 weeks. Flexion and abduction ranges of motion of the shoulder ipsilateral to the affected breast were compared between the study groups. A multivariate logistic regression model was fit to compare the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the women between the study groups. A multivariate co-variance model was produced to evaluate whether the flexion and abduction capacities were related to the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the women. Interaction graphics were produced in order to graphically assess whether the recovery of the flexion and abduction capacities was different between the study groups. Finally, a multivariate analysis of variance for repeated measurements was performed in order to assess the group (with or without IBR) and time effects on the recovery of shoulder ROM. Results: Most (78%) of the reconstructive procedures were performed according to the Latissimus Dorsi Flap technique with silicone-gel implant. IBR was not related to the deficit in flexion or abduction of the shoulder at any of the study weekly assessments. Smoking behavior and presence of painful axillary cords were related to a higher deficit in shoulder abduction and flexion (P<0.01). IBR was not related to the time and intensity of the recovery of shoulder abduction (p=0.85) and flexion (p=0.74). Conclusions: IBR was not related to the flexion or abduction capacity of the shoulder. Smoking and the presence of painful axillary cords were negatively associated with the recovery of shoulder ROM after mastectomy. / Mestrado / Mestre em Tocoginecologia
