RESUMO

INTRODUÇÃO:

A dor lombar vem sendo um achado comum em atletas e indivíduos adultos jovens. Das diversas causas deste sintoma, as alterações mecânico-posturais estão entre as mais comuns na população.

OBJETIVO:

Este estudo foi realizado com o intuito de correlacionar a intensidade e os aspectos da lombalgia com as medidas angulares da curvatura lombar em praticantes de voleibol.

MÉTODOS:

Participaram desta pesquisa 42 jovens atletas, de ambos os sexos, com idade entre 14 e 18 anos, divididos em dois grupos, o grupo sem dor e o grupo com dor lombar. Ambos responderam a uma ficha de avaliação inicial, porém a escala analógica visual de dor foi aplicada apenas nos indivíduos do grupo com dor. A seguir, todos os participantes foram submetidos ao exame radiológico da coluna lombar e o ângulo de Cobb foi obtido sobre as radiografias no plano sagital.

RESULTADOS:

Os resultados foram analisados através da estatística descritiva e inferencial, demonstrando que, para p < 0,05, os valores médios dos ãngulos entre os dois grupos analisados não diferem significativamente.

CONCLUSÃO:

Conclui-se que não houve correlação entre a curvatura da coluna lombar e a lombalgia em jovens praticantes de voleibol.
ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Although not frequent, lately there have been cases of young adults and athletes complaining of lumbar pain, this being one of the most common causes of mechanical postural alterations.

OBJECTIVE:

In view of this, it was decided to carry out this study correlating the intensity of lumbar pain with its anatomical/physiological characteristics, using the measurements of the angles of lumbar curvature in volleyball players.

METHODS:

42 athletes including males and females from 14 to 18 years of age took part. These volunteers were divided into two groups according to the symptoms of their lumbar pain one group with lumbar pain and the other with no lumbar pain. The initial procedure for both groups was to complete a structured functional assessment form. Only the group with lumbar pain then had the visual analogical scale of pain applied. After this stage, both groups were submitted to a radiological examination of the lumbar region of the spine, which was used to calculate the Cobb angle examining the x-rays on the sagital plane.

RESULTS:

The results were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, regarding as statistically significant p<0.05 the difference of the mean values of the angles found in the measurements taken in the two groups. Statistical analysis using the qui-square test, the likeli hood ratio test and Student's t-test showed no statistically significant difference.

CONCLUSION:

this study concluded that the differences found through the measurement of curvature of the lumbar region of the spine have no influence on the appearance and the intensity of lumbar pain in young volleyball players.
