Previous issue date: 2009-08-07 / Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized for hiperesponsivity of airflow and
imposes boundaries to patient daily activities, interfering in leisure, work and in daily life
activities. The weakness of respiratory muscles hazards lung effectiveness and
manovacuometry is the specific technique used to evaluate respiratory muscle strength. Handgrip
strength has been used as an indicator of functional integrity and total body strength. This
study aimed to make a correlation between respiratory muscle strength, hand-grip strength
and asthma seriousness in ill and healthy people. This research is classified as a transversal
study and the sample was composed by 80 women, from which 40 were asthmatic and 40
were healthy. The hydraulic hand dynameters, Chattanooga?? brand, was used to measure
hand-grip strength and the manovacuometry, Suporte?? brand, was used to measure
respiratory muscle strength. In order to make the statistical analysis, p 0,05 value was used.
Results: hand-grip strength was lower in dominant hand of both groups and the asthmatic
women had less respiratory muscle strength. These differences can be considered statistically
significant. It was also verified that as more serious is the asthma, lower is the hand-grip
strength, although with no statistical significance. The linear regression analysis showed that
hand-grip strength can predict respiratory muscle strength. The results of this study indicate
that the use of hand-grip strength evaluation is a trustable technique to measure the risks of
these patients to present functions limitations. / A asma ?? uma doen??a inflamat??ria cr??nica caracterizada por hiperresponsividade das vias
a??reas e imp??e limita????es ao cotidiano do paciente, interferindo no lazer, trabalho e nas
atividades de vida di??ria. A fraqueza dos m??sculos respirat??rios prejudica a efic??cia
pulmonar, e a manovacuometria ?? a t??cnica espec??fica utilizada para avaliar a for??a muscular
respirat??ria (FMR). A for??a de preens??o manual (FPM) vem sendo utilizada como indicador
de integralidade funcional e for??a total do corpo. O presente estudo teve como objetivo
correlacionar FPM com FMR e gravidade da asma, em indiv??duos com e sem a doen??a. O
estudo foi do tipo transversal e a amostra foi composta por 80 mulheres, sendo 40 asm??ticas e
40 n??o-asm??ticas. Foi utilizado o dinam??metro hidr??ulico de m??o da marca Chattanooga??
para a mensura????o da FPM e o manovacu??metro da marca Suporte?? para aferir a FMR. Para a
an??lise estat??stica foi adotado p 0,05. Resultados: a FPM foi menor na m??o dominante para
ambos os grupos e as asm??ticas apresentaram menor FPM, essas diferen??as foram
estatisticamente significantes.Verificou-se tamb??m que quanto maior a gravidade da asma
menor a FPM, por??m sem signific??ncia estat??stica. A an??lise de regress??o linear mostrou que
a partir da FPM pode-se inferir a FMR. Os resultados do presente estudo indicam utilizar de
forma confi??vel a avalia????o da preens??o manual com intuito de inferir o risco destes pacientes
apresentarem limita????es de funcionalidade.
