The objective of this study was to prepare an illustrative manual of the locomotor system, specifically directed to guitarists, for injury prevention. Method: 61 guitarists (students, professors, semi-professionals and professionals) in the city of São José do Rio Preto SP were taken into consideration, with the application of a questionnaire in order to estimate knowledge on bones, muscles and joints intrinsically associated with the praxis of guitar musical performances. As results, 83.5 % of the respondents had no specific anatomical knowledge, 62.3 % received no orientation on the best physical postures to perform the guitar; 63.93 % do not effect prior stretching for upper limbs or other body regions; 50.82 % do not practice muscle warming before the practice, and 52.46 % do not make pauses during the activity. Body areas that were constantly used during practice with the guitar encompassed right wrist (70.49%), left wrist (59.01%), right hand (63.93%) and left hand (50.81%). Spearman's correlation was used to estimate the relation between discomfort and hours of daily practice with guitar and it indicated positive correlation of low degree on right (r=0.3536) and left wrists (r=0.3226) and on the left hand (r=0.3431). Production of Illustrated Manual of Human Anatomy specific to the Locomotor System promotes teaching strategy to prevent injuries, traumas or musculoskeletal origin pathologies of guitarists, from complete beginners to instrumentalists. / Introdução: Violonistas representam a maioria dos instrumentistas e suas atividades envolvem esforços repetitivos ou postura estática, o que assim os torna prováveis candidatos a desenvolver doença laboral, a maioria das vezes por absoluta falta de informação. O objetivo do presente estudo foi elaborar manual ilustrativo do aparelho locomotor, especificamente direcionado a violonistas, para prevenção de lesões. Método: Foram considerados 61 violonistas (estudantes, docentes, semi-profissionais e profissionais) da cidade de São José do Rio Preto SP, com aplicação de questionário a fim de estimar conhecimento referente a ossos, músculos e articulações intrinsecamente associados à práxis de execuções musicais de violão. Como resultados, 83,5% dos respondentes não tinham conhecimento anatômico específico; 62,3% não receberam orientação sobre as melhores posturas físicas para executar o violão; 63,93% mencionam não efetuar alongamento prévio dos membros superiores ou de outras regiões corporais; 50,82% não praticam aquecimento muscular antes da prática, e 52,46% não efetuam pausas durante a atividade. Áreas corporais constantemente utilizadas durante a prática com o violão englobaram pulso direito (70,49%), pulso esquerdo (59,01%), mão direita (63,93%) e mão esquerda (50,81%). Correlação de Spearman foi usada para estimar relação entre desconforto e horas de prática diária com violão indicou correlação positiva de grau baixo nos pulsos direito (r=0,3536) e esquerdo (r=0,3226) e na mão esquerda (r=0,3431). Confecção de Manual Ilustrado de Anatomia Humana específica ao Aparelho Locomotor promove estratégia de ensino para prevenir lesões, traumas ou patologias de origem musculoesquelética a violonistas, desde iniciantes até instrumentistas.

Such changes must be detected, to prevent musculoskeletal complications, to enhance adherence to treatment and to improve the benefits of physical exercises. As far as we know, an instrument specially developed to identify locomotor system conditions in patients referred to CPMR programs is lacking, at this moment. Thus, the Locomotor System Assessment Inventory (IASL Inventário de Avaliação do Sistema Locomotor) was developed, comprising the following stages: the instrument s creation, the theoretical validation of items through a content and semantic analysis and also by means of analytical procedures, aiming to identify locomotor conditions, specially those causing pain; to check if the identified conditions bear a relation with the physical exercises, and to allow the patient s screening for complete medical clearance, clearance with some reserve and no medical clearance before a specialized opinion. A group of 103 individuals who were participating in CPMR programs was assessed. The group comprised 33 male participants (32%) and 70 female participants (68%) ages 36 to 84, with 47 participants (45.6) diagnosed with a locomotor condition, 39 (37.9%) under a specific treatment (drug treatment, physiotherapy, and surgery), 33 (32%) taking some pain killer for locomotor symptoms, and 10 individuals (9.7%) stating that at some point their physicians had advised them against physical exercises. It is worth mentioning that 48 subjects (46.6%) reported some pain, and in 14 of these subjects (13.6%), physical exercises exacerbated their symptoms. In our opinion, patients with these conditions would require na expert opinion, before being allowed to resume their exercises.<0} IASL was developed as a 6-question test, with yes or no answers. The internal validity of the instrument was checked by Cronbach's alpha showed that for items 1, 2,3 and 5 of Cronbach's alpha coefficient for being more than satisfactory 0.70 (alpha 0.80) and items 4 and 6 received moderate alpha (alpha 0.61). / Supõe-se que parcela significativa dos participantes dos Programas de Reabilitação Cardiopulmonar e Metabólica (RCPM) apresente alterações do sistema locomotor, em parte decorrentes do processo natural do envelhecimento, que devem ser detectadas, no intuito de evitar complicações músculo esqueléticas, aumentar a aderência ao tratamento e aprimorar os resultados decorrentes dos exercícios físicos. Não é do nosso conhecimento um instrumento desenvolvido especialmente para identificar problemas do sistema locomotor em indivíduos encaminhados aos programas de RCPM. Foi desenvolvido o Inventário de Avaliação do Sistema Locomotor (IASL) de acordo com os seguintes passos: construção do instrumento, validação teórica dos itens por meio de análise de conteúdo e análise semântica, e por meio de procedimentos analíticos, com os objetivos de identificar problemas do sistema locomotor, em especial os dolorosos; verificar se os problemas identificados apresentam relação com o exercício físico; possibilitando a triagem dos pacientes, ou seja, liberação sem restrições, liberação com restrições e não liberação antes de parecer especializado. Foram avaliados por meio do IASL 103 indivíduos participantes de programas de RCPM, sendo 33 homens (32%) e 70 mulheres (68%), com idades entre 36 e 84 anos, dos quais 47 (45,6%) responderam ter recebido diagnóstico de problema do sistema locomotor, 39 (37,9%) receberam tratamento específico para o sistema locomotor (farmacológico, fisioterapia e cirurgia), 33 (32%) esporadicamente fazem uso de medicamentos devido sintomas do sistema locomotor e 10 indivíduos (9,7%) responderam que em algum momento o médico proibiu algum tipo de exercício físico. Ressalte-se que 48 indivíduos (46,6%) relataram sentir dor, que piorava com o exercício em 14 (13,6%) deles, o que segundo a nossa proposta exigiria parecer de especialista para prosseguimento no programa de exercícios. O IASL foi construído com 6 questões com respostas dicotômicas. A validade interna do instrumento foi verificada através do alfa de Cronbach que apresentou para os itens 1, 2,3 e 5 coeficiente de alfa de Cronbach satisfatório por serem maiores que 0,70 (alfa 0,80) e os itens 4 e 6 receberam alfa moderado (alfa 0,61).

La mutagenèse chimique aléatoire par l’Ethyl-Nitroso-Urée (ENU), dont la puissance a été largement démontrée au cours de ces dernières décennies dans la création de modèles murins constitue un outil remarquable et essentiel en génomique fonctionnelle. Cette approche est en effet d’un apport considérable pour la compréhension de la fonction des gènes et de leur régulation et constitue un accélérateur pour identifier des éléments clés dans une voie de signalisation. Cette approche systématique, basée sur le criblage simultané d’un grand nombre de souris ne nécessite aucune connaissance préalable sur l’identité et la fonction des gènes étudiés. Les mutants sont identifiés au travers de cribles phénotypiques spécifiques, hiérarchisés et non-invasifs. L’identification du gène et de la mutation causale responsable du phénotype sont réalisés par un travail de cartographie génique en utilisant une série de marqueurs polymorphes ou par séquençage nouvelle génération. L’objectif de ma thèse a été de caractériser au niveau phénotypique et moléculaire, 3 lignées murines indépendantes issues de deux cribles ENU, un crible récessif et un crible dominant sensibilisé. Le premier crible visait à développer des modèles de pathologies humaines, à partir duquel a été isolée la lignée vdb, qui présente des défauts du système vestibulaire dus à une mutation dans le gène otog codant pour l’otogeline, et constitue un modèle de surdité chez l’homme. Le deuxième crible avait été mis en place dans le but d’approfondir nos connaissances fondamentales sur le développement du système squeletto-musculaire chez les mammifères, plus particulièrement chez l’homme et le bovin. Les analyses de deux lignées issues de ce crible, GMA24 et GMA06, ont permis d’identifier la mutation dans le gène Phex pour les souris GMA24 qui présentent un retard de croissance et constituent un modèle pour la maladie XLH (X-Linked Hypophosphatemic Rickets) chez l’homme. Pour les souris GMA06 présentant une hypermusculature, la mutation a été localisée sur le chromosome 2 et son identification est en cours. Ces trois modèles murins constituent des outils intéressants qui peuvent s’ajouter aux modèles déjà existants pour la surdité, la maladie XLH et les maladies type myopathies pour mieux appréhender les mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans ces pathologies et les interactions génétiques mises en jeu dans l’objectif de tester de nouvelles thérapies. / The random chemical mutagenesis with the Ethyl-Nitroso-Urea (ENU), whose power has been widely demonstrated during these last decades in the murine models creation, is a remarkable and essential tool in functional genomics. This approach is indeed a significant contribution to the understanding of the genes’ function and regulation; it also establishes an accelerator to identify the key elements in a signaling pathway. This systematic approach, based on the simultaneous screening of a large number of mice, requires no prior knowledge on the identity and the function of the studied genes. The mutants are identified through specific, hierarchical and non-invasive phenotypic screens. The identification of the gene and the causal mutation responsible for the mutant phenotype are achieved by gene mapping by using a series of polymorphic markers or by new generation sequencing. The objective of my thesis has been to characterize at the phenotypic and molecular level 3 independent murine lines from two ENU screens, a recessive and a sensitized dominant one. The first screen aimed to develop models for human diseases, from which has been isolated the vbd murine line, presenting vestibular system defects due to a mutation in the Otog gene coding for the otogelin. This mouse line presents a model for human deafness. The second screen had been established in order to deepen our fundamental knowledge on the skeletto-muscular system development in mammals, more particularly in humans and cattle. Analyzes of two lines from this screen, GMA24 and GMA06, have allowed to identify the mutation in Phex gene for GMA24 mice showing a growth retardation and modeling XLH (X-linked Hypophosphatemic rickets) disease in humans. For the GMA06 mice presenting an increase muscle mass, the mutation has been localized on chromosome 2 and its identification is in progress. These three murine models are interesting added tools to the existing models for deafness, XLH and myopathies diseases for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms and genetic interactions involved in these pathologies and so testing new therapies.
