RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The anti-saccadic (AS) error-rate is used to diagnose neurological disorders. The natural aging process could generate difficulty in carrying out parallel neural processes of conscious motor inhibition and eye movement. Therefore, if balance control is imposed on an elderly person in biped positions during an AS movement, an increase in the AS error-rate is expected. OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of postural control on the AS error-rate in older people. METHODS: An intra and intergroup comparison was made of AS error-rate in an experimental group of older people (PM) and another control group of young people (PJ). For this, blocks of AS and pro-saccadic movements (control) were used randomly in four different postures: (1)sitting (SENT), (2)standing normally (NORMAL), (3)feet together (REDUC), and (4)feet in line (TANDEM). RESULTS: The PM group, compared to the PJ group, showed a progressive increase in the AS error-rate from the sitting position to all standing positions, with the maximum AS error-rate in more complex vertical postures. In contrast, the PJ group did not present significative variability of this AS error-rate in all positions. CONCLUSIONS: It is confirmed that the aging process is associated with an increase in the AS error-rate. This study reveals for the first time a significant increase in the AS error-rate when control of body balance is required for PM, implying a decrease in the multiple processing capacity in PM for the execution of complex and parallel tasks.

RESUMO

The ageing process alters the stages of sleep, and the elderly that have this problem tend to be prescribed pharmacological treatment. This has long term side effects and results in increased health costs. On the other hand, frequent or regular physical exercise could be an overall superior alternative, due to its multifactorial effects. It is also less expensive, thus more affordable and accessible. Furthermore, these benefits could be extrapolated to the quality of sleep. Taking this into account the purpose of this paper is to establish the proper amount of physical exercise using the FITT (frequency, intensity, time, type of exercise) principle, and its effect on the quality of sleep, insomnia, and daytime sleepiness in the elderly. This could lead us to a paradigm shift in the treatment of sleep disorders, and also may constitute an alternative method for treating the elderly.

RESUMO

SUMMARY: This study aimed to determine the benefits of a combined technique of muscle energy with and myofascial release more effective than using each in isolation in glenohumeral internal rotator deficits. An interventional study was designed for this study. Thirty-eight patients were diagnosed with painful shoulder syndrome. Patients were randomly allocated into 4 groups where Group A was treated with combined muscle energy and myofascial release; Group B with muscle energy technique; Group C with myofascial release and Group D used as control. The evaluation of the passive joint range of the glenohumeral internal rotation and sociodemographic data for each of the groups were measured, before and after interventions. Despite the use of myofascial release and muscle energy techniques being significantly beneficial in their respective groups, when both were combined; it outcomes were highly successful. A combination therapy treatment applied with the Muscle Energy and Myofascial Release Techniques in patients with painful shoulder syndrome will be more effective in increasing the range of motion of the glenohumeral internal rotation joint than any of the techniques applied individually.


Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar los beneficios de una técnica combinada de energía muscular con liberación miofascial más efectiva que usar cada una de manera aislada en los déficits de los músculos rotadores internos glenohumerales. Para este estudio se diseñó un protocolo de intervención. En 38 pacientes se diagnosticó síndrome de hombro doloroso. Los pacientes fueron asignados aleatoriamente a 4 grupos; el grupo A fue tratado con energía muscular combinada y liberación miofascial; Grupo B con técnica de energía muscular; Grupo C con liberación miofascial y Grupo D utilizado como control. Se midió la evaluación del rango articular pasivo de la rotación interna de la articulación glenohumeral y datos sociodemográficos de cada uno de los grupos, antes y después de las intervenciones. A pesar de que el uso de técnicas de liberación miofascial y energía muscular resultó significativamente beneficioso en sus respectivos grupos, cuando ambas se combinaron; Sus resultados fueron muy exitosos. Un tratamiento de terapia combinada aplicado con las Técnicas de Energía Muscular y Liberación Miofascial en pacientes con síndrome de hombro doloroso será más efectivo para aumentar el rango de movimiento de la articulación de rotación interna glenohumeral que cualquiera de las técnicas aplicadas individualmente.

RESUMO

Introducción. La dismenorrea primaria afecta la calidad de vida de mujeres jóvenes. Este estudio investiga los efectos de un protocolo de ejercicios y educación en dolor mediante telerehabilitación. Objetivo. Determinar los efectos de un protocolo de ejercicios y educación en dolor y su impacto en la calidad de vida mediante tele-rehabilitación en mujeres jóvenes con dismenorrea primaria. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio experimental pre y post test con un grupo control, utilizando tele-rehabilitación. Participaron 21 mujeres jóvenes con dismenorrea primaria, asignadas aleatoriamente a dos grupos: el grupo experimental (10 mujeres) y el grupo control (11 mujeres). Se utilizaron cuestionarios específicos de calidad de vida relacionada con la menstruación y dolor (cuestionario breve de McGill) para evaluar los efectos del programa de ejercicios y educación en dolor. Resultados. En el grupo control, no se observaron diferencias significativas en las puntuaciones de calidad de vida relacionada con la menstruación ni en la intensidad del dolor antes y después de la intervención (p>0,05). En contraste, el grupo experimental experimentó mejoras significativas en ambas áreas después de la intervención (todos los p<0,001). Conclusiones. Este estudio demuestra que un protocolo de ejercicios y educación en dolor realizado mediante telerehabilitación tiene un impacto positivo y significativo en la calidad de vida y la intensidad del dolor percibido en mujeres jóvenes con dismenorrea primaria. Estos resultados sugieren que la telerehabilitación puede ser una estrategia efectiva para abordar este problema de salud en esta población.


Background. Primary dysmenorrhea impacts the quality of life of young women. This study investigates the effects of an exercise and pain education protocol through telerehabilitation. Objective: To determine the effects of an exercise and pain education protocol and its impact on the quality of life through telerehabilitation in young women with primary dysmenorrhea. Methods: A pre and post-test experimental study with a control group was conducted using telerehabilitation. Twenty-one young women with primary dysmenorrhea participated, randomly assigned to two groups: the experimental group (10 women) and the control group (11 women). Specific questionnaires related to menstruation-related quality of life and pain (McGill short-form questionnaire) were used to assess the effects of the exercise and pain education program. Results: In the control group, no significant differences were observed in menstruation-related quality of life scores or pain intensity before and after the intervention (p>0.05). In contrast, the experimental group experienced significant improvements in both areas after the intervention (all p<0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that an exercise and pain education protocol conducted through telerehabilitation has a positive and significant impact on the perceived quality of life and pain intensity in young women with primary dysmenorrhea. These results suggest that telerehabilitation can be an effective strategy for addressing this health issue in this population.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: Desde la última década se ha evidenciado el aumento de la población de personas mayores en Chile. Muchos de ellos son usuarios regulares del sistema público de salud el cual se caracteriza por entregar una atención de tipo integral. En este sentido, resulta relevante conocer los requerimientos en salud desde la perspectiva de las experiencias de las personas mayores con respecto al uso de este servicio. OBJETIDO: El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar las expectativas de las personas mayores que asisten a los centros de APS. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Este es un estudio cualitativo, descriptivo, donde la muestra fue de 13 personas mayores de 65 años y más, autovalentes, de tres centros APS, los cuales fueron entrevistados mediante instrumento semiestructurado, con análisis cualitativo de datos método que incluyó codificación abierta y focalizada. RESULTADOS: Las expectativas de las personas mayores fueron categorizadas como requerimiento de una atención profesional integral, oportunidad de atención, accesibilidad de la atención, promoción de salud sobre el autocuidado, explicación de cambios en el envejecimiento con enfoque biológico y alfabetización en salud. CONCLUSIONES: Las expectativas de las personas mayores en este estudio dan cuenta de una atención profesional integral poco efectiva, además de la necesidad de un trato especializado al grupo poblacional específico, no sólo de los profesionales, sino también del personal administrativo de los centros de APS, considerándolos una barrera en la calidad de la atención.


INTRODUCTION: Since the last decade there has been evidence of an increase in the population of older people in Chile. Many of them are regular users of the public health system (PHS) which is characterized by providing comprehensive care. In this sense, it is relevant to know the health requirements from the perspective of the experiences of the older people regarding the use of this health service. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to identify the needs and expectations of older people attending PHS centers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: It were a qualitative and descriptive study. The sample was compounded by 13 people over 65 years and over, self-sufficient, from three PHS centers. It was used a semi-structured instrument. RESULTS: The main needs of the elderly were categorized as a requirement for comprehensive professional care, the opportunity for care, accessibility of care, health promotion on self-care, explanation of changes in aging with a biological focus and health literacy. CONCLUSIONS: The needs and expectations of the older people in this study account for an ineffective comprehensive professional care, in addition to the need for specialized treatment of the specific population group, not only of professionals but also of the administrative staff of the centers of PHS, considering them a barrier in the quality of care.

RESUMO

OBJETIVO Las personas mayores y particularmente las mujeres, son propensas a sufrir traumatismo por caídas. El objetivo de esta investigación fue mejorar la estabilidad y funcionalidad de la pisada en personas mayores, implementando un programa de entrenamiento de musculatura intrínseca del pie, y determinar sus efectos en el riesgo de caída como método de prevención. MATERIALES Y METODOS Participaron 33 personas mayores, de género femenino y autovalentes. En las participantes se evaluó el equilibrio y la velocidad de la marcha con la prueba Time up and Go (TUG), y el equilibrio dinámico se evaluó con la Escala de Tinetti (ET). La intervención constó de enteramiento de tipo short-foot de forma diaria, durante 4 semanas. RESULTADOS los tiempos del TUG disminuyeron de manera progresiva al final de la intervención, lo que indica una optimización en la velocidad de la marcha, por lo que, el entrenamiento tuvo resultados beneficios para la transferencia de carga corporal de una posición sedente a bípedo y de bípedo a marcha. En cambio, para el equilibrio y marcha según ET no se detectó una diferencia significativa. CONCLUSIONES Este entrenamiento presenta una mejoría en el ámbito funcional de cambio de posición, pero no reemplaza el ajuste postural de base de sustentación para mantener el centro de masa en su posición central.


OBJETIVE Seniors, particularly women, are at risk for suffering traumatisms from falls. The objective of this study was to improve the balance and walking functionality of seniors by implementing a program to training the intrinsic muscles of the foot. The impacts of this training on preventing fall risk were assessed. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 33 self sufficient, female seniors participated. Balance and the speed of walking were measured using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, while balance and gait were measured using the Tinetti Balance and Gait Assessment Tool (TT). Intervention consisted in four weeks of daily short foot exercises. RESULTS The TUG test times decreases progressively from the start to the end of the intervention period, indicating an optimization in walking speed. This translates into beneficial results for the transfer of body load from a sedentary to standing to walking position. In contrast, balance and gait evidenced no significant changes per the TT. CONCLUSIONS The implemented training program improved the functional sphere of position change, but this did not replace the postural adjustments needed in the base of support (i.e. the feet) to maintain a well-positioned center of mass
