Associação da educação sexual, cinesioterapia e terapia manual no tratamento de mulheres anorgásmicas: um estudo de caso / Association of sex education, kinesiotherapy and manual therapy in the treatment of anorgasmic women: a case study

O orgasmo é o ápice da excitação sexual e, quando comumente não experienciado, denomina-se anorgasmia, segunda queixa sexual mais frequente entre mulheres. A fisioterapia é um recurso que visa beneficiar a qualidade de vida das mulheres anorgásmicas por meio da prevenção, reparação de função e tratamento de quadros álgicos. O estudo teve como objetivo avaliar os efeitos da associação das técnicas de cinesioterapia aplicada à musculatura do assoalho pélvico, massagem perineal e conscientização acerca da sexualidade das participantes. Os métodos utilizados foram educação sexual, massagem perineal e cinesioterapia associada ao uso da sonda uroginecológica New PelviFit Trainer, como biofeedback visual, para promover conscientização e estimar os efeitos sobre a condição da musculatura do assoalho pélvico de mulheres com relato de anorgasmia. O resultado obtido com o protocolo da associação das técnicas terapêuticas em mulheres com disfunção orgásmica apresentou melhora da função sexual feminina, aumento da força e do estado de relaxamento da musculatura do assoalho pélvico, avaliados pelo questionário Índice de Função Sexual Feminina, quantificados por meio da escala de Oxford modificada e da escala de avaliação de flexibilidade vaginal, respectivamente. Como conclusão, a aplicação das técnicas fisioterapêuticas aliadas ao tratamento humanizado, com enfoque na conscientização das mulheres, autopercepção corporal e manutenção da função sexual, promoveu melhora da disfunção sexual orgásmica. Apesar de necessário maior embasamento científico relativo ao tema, a presente abordagem para o tratamento em questão apresentou-se promissora e pertinente à base de dados. (AU)

Orgasm is the peak of sexual excitement, when not commonly experienced, it is called anorgasmia, second most frequent sexual complaint among women. Physiotherapy is a resource that aims to improve the quality of life of anorgasmics women through prevention, function repair and pain management. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of kinesiotherapy techniques applied on the pelvic floor muscles, associated with perineal massage and the participants' sexual awareness. The methods used were sexual education, perineal massage, kinesiotherapy associated with the use of the New PelviFit Trainer urogynecological probe, as a visual feedback, to promove awearness and estimate its effects on the pelvic floor muscles condition in women reporting anorgasmia. The result obtained with the protocol of association of therapeutic techniques in women with orgasmic dysfunction showed improvement in the female sexual function, assessed by the Female Sexual Function Index questionnaire, increased strength and pelvic floor muscles relaxation, quantified using the Modified Oxford scale and the vaginal flexibility assessment scale, respectively. As a conclusion, the application of physiotherapeutic techniques combined with humanized treatment, with a focus on awareness of women, body self-perception and maintenance of sexual function, promoted improvement of orgasmic sexual dysfunction. Despite the need for a greater scientific basis on the subject, the present approach to the treatment in question was promising and relevant to the database. (AU)

Epistemological (re)considerations on physical education in Brazil from the kinesiology of the United States: a horizon beyond the epithets / (re)considerações epistemológicas sobre a educação física no Brasil a partir da cinesiologia dos Estados Unidos: um horizonte além dos epítetos

ABSTRACT This study discusses theoretical reverberations that stand out in the field of Physical Education (PE) in Brazil in the face of epistemological discussions demarcated within the scope of PE in the USA from the 1960s onwards, and due to the contributions of the Disciplinary Movement and the context by which Kinesiology then established its position as a scope in the field of American PE. An exploratory literature review was carried out with the following guiding question: what is the impact of the epistemological developments of North American PE on the configuration of the general theory of PE in Brazil? From this perspective, we verified the authors in the Brazilian field who took a position on the resonances and limits arising from the conjectures of the scientific field of PE in the USA. Through this investigation, some processes of inhibition were highlighted by which the proposal of Kinesiology could not increase reflections in Brazil, with few exceptions.

RESUMO Este estudo discute reverberações teóricas que se destacaram no campo da Educação Física (EF) no Brasil diante das investigações epistemológicas demarcadas no âmbito da EF nos EUA a partir da década de 1960, e devido às contribuições do Movimento Disciplinar e ao contexto pelo qual a Cinesiologia se estabeleceu então como escopo no campo da EF americana. Foi realizada uma revisão exploratória da literatura com a seguinte questão norteadora: qual impacto dos desenvolvimentos epistemológicos da EF norte-americana na configuração da teoria geral da EF no Brasil? Nessa perspectiva, verificamos os autores do campo brasileiro que adotaram uma posição sobre as ressonâncias e limites decorrentes das conjecturas do campo científico da EF nos EUA. Através desta investigação, foram destacados alguns processos de inibição pelos quais a proposta da Cinesiologia não conseguiu aumentar reflexões no Brasil, com poucas exceções.

El término kinesiología, sus implicancias en la forma profesional y en el fondo disciplinar. Segunda parte: los matices en su desarrollo / The term kinesiology, its implications in the professional practice and disciplinary background. Second part: the nuances in its the development

Los matices que ha generado el término Kinesiología en el desarrollo disciplinar han podido justificar una importante cantidad de acciones profesionales que van desde la educación física, pasando por la investigación de laboratorio, cinética, cinemática del deporte y función ventilatoria, para culminar otorgando asistencias en el extremo de la disfunción y la inmovilidad concomitante al término de la gran mayoría de las enfermedades. Así la Kinesiología ha sido el soporte argumentativo para profesores, entrenadores, científicos y terapeutas que trabajan con el movimiento humano. No exentas de contribuir al objeto de estudio se encuentran las humanidades y las ciencias sociales que parten en la antropología y se consolidan en la biopolítica de organizaciones gremiales con carácter universal para fijar lineamientos de control. Ante la importante magnitud del campo de conocimientos acumulados, es posible sostener la evidente oportunidad de generar condiciones favorables que se encarguen de reflexionar otras soluciones inspiradas en la trascendencia de la funcionalidad y el movimiento. El denominador común de estos alcances comienza cuando la funcionalidad pasa a ser la meta epistemológica de los paradigmas al servicio del movimiento humano. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el término Kinesiología en el contexto de los matices disciplinares para recomponer sus implicancias y determinar su posibilidad de sobrevida.

SUMMARY: The nuances that the term Kinesiology has generated in disciplinary development have upheld a significant number of professional actions, ranging from physical education to laboratory research, kinetics, sport kinematics and ventilator function. Such actions have ultimately assisted in the extreme dysfunction and immobility concomitant at the end of a vast majority of diseases. Therefore, Kinesiology has been the argumentative support for teachers, coaches, scientists and therapists working with human movement. Humanities and social sciences that commence with anthropology and are consolidated in the bio politics of global union organizations to establish control guidelines are also an important contribution to its study. Given the vast amount of knowledge in this field, there is an opportunity to generate favorable conditions that reflect on further solutions inspired by the transcendence of functionality and movement. When reflecting on these achievements, the common denominator is when functionality becomes the epistemological goal ofthe paradigms at the service of human movement. In this context, the objective of this research was to analyze the term Kinesiology in the context of disciplinary nuances to recompose its implications and to determine if it can survive as a discipline.

Razonamiento clínico en carreras de la salud: percepción de estudiantes y docentes / The perception of teachers and students about clinical reasoning in health care careers

BACKGROUND: Clinical reasoning (CR) is a training mainstay in health care careers. AIM: To describe the perception of students and teachers about the development of clinical CR in Kinesiology and Dentistry careers. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Exploratory descriptive qualitative study, with 12 informants (six teachers and six students), applying a script of questions through a semi-structured interview. A thematic inductive data analysis was carried out. RESULTS: Two hundred thirty-five meaning units, 38 codes, seven subcategories and three categories were collected. CR was reported as a basic analysis process in health care training. Its necessary elements are knowledge, a learning environment and a facilitator teacher, among others. Motivation, analysis models, variability and exposure are reported as facilitating factors for the development of CR. Teacher paternalism, resistance to change and few learning opportunities are presented as obstacles. Active strategies such as clinical cases, simulation and clinical practice are perceived as facilitators for the development of CR. Those situations where the student does not assume a leading role such as lectures and activities in large groups, are considered as obstacles. CONCLUSIONS: Both students and teachers point to CR as an analysis process that is indispensable in both careers. Exposure to variable educational experiences through active educational strategies in small groups encourages CR.

Auxetic structures used in kinesiology tapes can improve form-fitting and personalization.

Each year 65% of young athletes and 25% of physically active adults suffer from at least one musculoskeletal injury that prevents them from continuing with physical activity, negatively influencing their physical and mental well-being. The treatment of musculoskeletal injuries with the adhesive elastic kinesiology tape (KT) decreases the recovery time. Patients can thus recommence physical exercise earlier. Here, a novel KT based on auxetic structures is proposed to simplify the application procedure and allow personalization. This novel KT exploits the form-fitting property of auxetics as well as their ability to simultaneously expand in two perpendicular directions when stretched. The auxetic contribution is tuned by optimizing the structure design using analytical equations and experimental measurements. A reentrant honeycomb topology is selected to demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach. Prototypes of auxetic KT to treat general elbow pains and muscle tenseness in the forearm are developed.

Mejorando la elaboración de las hipótesis iniciales para el razonamiento clínico diagnóstico en estudiantes de kinesiología: una propuesta metodológica / Improving the development of initial hypotheses for clinical diagnostic reasoning in physical therapy students: a methodological proposal

El Razonamiento Clínico es un proceso fundamental para identificar los déficits en un paciente y formular un diagnóstico kinesiológico. El objetivo de este estudio es describir parte de la metodología y sus resultados, en el marco del curso de Razonamiento Clínico de la carrera de Kinesiología en la Universidad Finis Terrae, para mejorar el proceso de formulación de hipótesis iniciales para la evaluación kinesiológica. MUESTRA : MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS Los estudiantes fueron evaluados según la cantidad, coherencia y sintaxis de estas hipótesis iniciales, además de los dominios a los que pertenecían, al inicio y al final de la intervención que consistió en 3 actividades (2 clases presenciales y un informe de actividad de campo clínico). Las clases presenciales tenían como temas la Clasificación Internacional de la Funcionalidad, Salud y Enfermedad (CIF) de la OMS, y su rol en el razonamiento clínico diagnóstico; y la importancia de las hipótesis iniciales dentro del modelo hipotético deductivo de razonamiento y cómo escribirlas, junto con el uso de una herramienta (una "Tabla Hipocrática Modificada") para sistematizar la formulación de hipótesis iniciales con respecto a déficit en estructuras corporales. El informe de campo clínico integró todo lo anterior durante la evaluación de un paciente real. RESULTADOS La evaluación final mostró un aumento significativo en la cantidad (promedio ± DS inicial 10,1 ± 8,57, final 27 ± 9,23, p < 0,001) de hipótesis planteadas y en su coherencia con respecto a la información disponible. CONCLUSIÓN La sistematización descrita para la formulación de hipótesis diagnósticas en los estudiantes de kinesiología resulta en una mayor cantidad y calidad en sus hipótesis, validando esta metodología para la enseñanza inicial del razonamiento clínico diagnóstico en kinesiología

Clinical Reasoning is a fundamental process to identify deficits in a patient and state a diagnosis. The goal of this study is to describe part of the methodology and its results, within the framework of the Clinical Reasoning course of the Kinesiology career at Finis Terrae University, implemented to improve the process of formulating initial hypotheses for kinesiological evaluation. MATERIALS AND METHODS The students were evaluated according to the quantity, coherence and syntax of these initial hypotheses, in addition to the domains to which they belonged, at the beginning and at the end of the intervention that consisted of 3 activities (2 face-to-face classes and an activity report). The face-to-face classes had as topics the International Classification of Functioning, Health and Disease (ICF), WHO, and its role in diagnostic clinical reasoning; and the importance of initial hypotheses within the hypothetical deductive model of reasoning and how to write them, together with the use of a tool (a "Modified Hippocratic Table") to methodize the formulation of initial hypotheses regarding deficits in body structures. The report integrated all of the above during the evaluation of a real patient. RESULTS The final evaluation showed a significant increase in the quantity (mean ± initial SD 10.1±8.57, final 27±9.23, p < 0.001) of hypotheses raised and in their consistency to the available information. Conclusion: The Systematization described for formulating diagnostic hypotheses in kinesiology students results in a greater quantity and quality of their hypotheses, validating this methodology for the initial teaching of diagnostic clinical reasoning in kinesiology.

Neste sentido, a fisioterapia veterinária atua trazendo inúmeros benefícios, como melhoria dos movimentos, redução da dor, edema e outras. Interfere ainda no tempo de recuperação, redução de custos para o proprietário, podendo ser hoje utilizada como um tratamento na recuperação pós-cirúrgica. Desta forma, objetivou-se relatar o uso da fisioterapia em uma bezerra com poliartrite e paresia neuromuscular. O animal apresentou um aumento de volume nas articulações cárpicas e társicas após histórico de onfalite, permanecendo em decúbito esternal por vários dias. O proprietário resolveu aplicar ferro dextrano na região glútea do animal, o que causou uma lesão de nervo isquiático. Foram instituídos protocolos medicamentosos e fisioterápicos, que culminaram no estímulo da marcha, propriocepção, além de hipertrofia muscular. Porém, em virtude de complicações resultantes de onfalite, o animal veio a óbito.(AU)

Applied kinesiology and dentistry - A narrative review.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the use of applied kinesiology in the field of dentistry. METHODS: A review of the literature was carried out looking for all articles written on the topic. PubMed, Ovid Medline, and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) databases were searched. RESULTS: Only one study was retrieved on the use of applied kinesiology in temporomandibular disorder patients, and only one study was published on dental material testing. A change in muscle strength associated with changes in dental occlusion has been observed in many of the articles selected. DISCUSSION: The use of applied kinesiology for the diagnosis and treatment of pathologies in the field of dentistry is not supported by scientific evidence. However, a relationship between dental occlusion or maxillo-mandibular relationship and isometric muscle strength has been noted.

Go tani and his influence on the kinesiology field in the brazilian scientific context / Go tani e sua influência no campo da cinesiologia no contexto científico brasileiro

ABSTRACT This study aimed to group some perspectives on Go Tani's epistemological activity in the context of Brazilian Physical Education (PE), establishing his contributions and reflections on Kinesiology for the structuring of undergraduate and graduate Physical Education in Brazil. This is a bibliographical and exploratory study, which prioritized Tani's production on the most varied platforms and the materials that circulated about Kinesiology in national and international literature. Finally, through the theoretical review, it was possible to identify that the PE field is a scenario full of disputes and that even with the transformations of paradigms that infer the legitimate alternatives in the scientific context, the relationships that are established between the different schools of PE thought have erupted in a process of mutual incomprehension that contributes to the circularity of perspectives and the maintenance of beliefs in the field.

RESUMO O presente estudo objetivou agrupar algumas perspectivas sobre a atividade epistemológica de Go Tani no contexto da Educação Física (EF) brasileira, estabelecendo suas contribuições e reflexões a partir da Cinesiologia para a estruturação da graduação e da pós-graduação em Educação Física no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico e exploratório, o qual priorizou a produção de Tani nas mais variadas plataformas, bem como os materiais que circularam sobre a Cinesiologia na literatura nacional e internacional. Por fim, através da referida revisão teórica, foi possível identificar que o campo da EF é um cenário repleto de disputas e que mesmo com as transformações dos paradigmas que inferem nas alternativas legítimas no contexto científico, as relações que são estabelecidas entre as distintas escolas de pensamento da EF têm eclodido num processo de interincompreensão que contribui com a circularidade de perspectivas e a manutenção de crenças no campo.

La telerehabilitación durante la pandemia COVID-19: experiencia de las familias de niños con condiciones crónicas complejas / Telerehabilitation during the COVID-19 pandemic: experience of families of children with complex chronic conditions

La telerehabilitación ha sido una solución rápida y efectiva para la atención de pacientes durante la pandemia COVID-19. Nuestro objetivo ha sido describir la experiencia de las familias de niños con condiciones crónicas complejas (CCC) asistidos con la modalidad de telerehabilitación durante la pandemia. Materiales y métodos: Se ha realizado un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal de tipo encuesta online. Se encuestaron familias de niños (1 mes a 5 años de edad) con al menos una CCC que recibieron seguimiento interdisciplinario a distancia durante la pandemia de 2 o más áreas de rehabilitación (kinesiología, fonoaudiología y terapia ocupacional) pertenecientes al Servicio de Kinesiología del Hospital de Pediatría Juan P Garrahan, durante marzo a octubre de 2020. Resultados: El 88,3% de los participantes (n=43) se expresó satisfecho con la modalidad de telerehabilitación. Entre los facilitadores seleccionados por los participantes se mencionan la reducción de tiempos, mayor frecuencia de consultas, disminución de gastos por traslados y mayor comodidad, mientras que entre las barreras se destacaron: el no vínculo con profesionales, alargue en tiempos de tratamiento, problemas de conectividad. El análisis estadístico no indicó diferencias significativas entre quienes se reportaron como más satisfechos según su estrato social (alto o bajo), la disponibilidad de wifi propio, o respecto a la edad del niño. Se reportaron diferencias significativas en cuanto a la distancia al hospital (p=0.034). Conclusión: Esta forma de intervención ofreció nuevas posibilidades de atención que podrían considerarse a futuro en el seguimiento de nuestros pacientes. (AU)

Telerehabilitation has been a fast and effective solution in patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim was to describe the experience of families of children with complex chronic conditions (CCC) treated through telerehabilitation during the pandemic. Materials and methods: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, online survey study was conducted. Families of children (1 month to 5 years of age) with at least one CCC who received interdisciplinary remote follow-up during the pandemic from two or more rehabilitation areas (physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy) belonging to the Department of Physical Therapy of Hospital de Pediatría Juan P Garrahan, from March to October 2020, were surveyed. Results: 88.3% of the participants (n=43) expressed satisfaction with the telerehabilitation modality. Among the facilitators selected by the participants, the following were mentioned: time saving, greater frequency of consultations, reduction of travel expenses and greater comfort, while among the barriers, the following stood out: no connection with the professionals, longer treatment times, connectivity problems. Statistical analysis did not show significant differences between those who reported being more satisfied according to socioeconomic level (high or low), availability of their own wifi connection, or age of the child. A significant difference was found for distance to the hospital (p=0.034). Conclusion: This type of intervention provided new possibilities of care that could be considered in the future follow-up of our patients (AU)

Effect of kinesio tape on scapular kinematics in subjects with scapular dyskinesis

Scapular dyskinesis is an abnormality in scapula static or dynamic position. There are several techniques for scapular dyskinesis conservative treatment, including Kinesio Tape application, which is used to promote and support scapula joint alignment, decrease pain and improve local muscle control. The study aim to investigate the effect of kinesio tape on scapular kinematics in subjects with scapular dyskinesis. Fourteen subjects with scapular dyskinesis performed flexion and scaption movements in two conditions: (1) without load and (2) holding a dumbbell. A scapular tape was applied over the lower trapezius (Y shaped) muscle with a 20% tension. Kinematic data were captured with 10 infrared cameras and analyzed based on Euler angles, peak values of upward rotation, internal rotation, and posterior tilt angles. To compare the situations with and without kinesio tape the repeated measures two-way ANOVAs (α = 0.05) was performed using SPSS software. Scapular tape increase upward rotation and posterior tilt during flexion of the shoulder. No interaction (Load x KT) was found during flexion, suggesting that KT effect in the peak values is the same, regardless the load condition. Scapular tape decreases internal rotation during scaption and a significant interaction was found between load x KT, suggesting the effect of using KT could depend the load u sed during this movement. The results suggest that kinesio tape may can be use as assistant to increase upward rotation, posterior tilt and decrease internal rotation in scapular dyskinesis subjects. (AU)

Rehabilitación de un paciente con fractura femoral distal izquierda con pérdida de sustancia ósea, fractura patelar y tibial izquierda: a propósito de un caso / Rehabilitation of a patient with a left distal femoral fracture with loss of bone substance, a left patellar and tibial fracture: about a case

La rehabilitación de un paciente con fractura es progresivos y secuenciales para la mejora del foco de fractura, en especial en este tipo de fracturas con pérdida de sustancia ósea ya que suelen ser agresivas y de difícil resolución, por tanto, el tratamiento ortopédico es cuidadoso y complejo como la recuperación es prolongada sujeta a varios pasos según la progresión del paciente. El objetivo de este artículo es la de describir la secuencia de pasos en la rehabilitación de este tipo de fracturas, ya que no hay un manual claro para el manejo en rehabilitación de casos similares. El seguimiento y recuperación de este caso dura 8 meses dividida en 3 etapas de rehabilitación en un total de 122 sesiones, teniendo 4 evaluaciones en base a los tres parámetros de evaluación de ingreso: dolor, movimiento, postura y fuerza muscular, mejorando progresivamente estos aspectos.

The rehabilitation of a fractured patient is progressive and sequential for the improvement of the fracture focus, especially in this type of fractures with loss of bone substance since they are usually aggressive and difficult to resolve, so orthopedic treatment is careful and complex. as the recovery is prolonged subject to several steps depending on the patient's progression. The objective of this article is to describe the sequence of steps in the rehabilitation of this type of fractures, since there is no clear manual for the management in rehabilitation of similar cases. The follow-up and recovery of this case lasts 8 months divided into 3 stages of rehabilitation in a total of 122 sessions, having 4 evaluations based on the three parameters of admission assessment: pain, movement, posture and muscular strength, progressively improving these aspects.

Osteoporosis - risk factors, pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical treatment.

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease of the skeletal system which currently affects over 200 million patients worldwide. The WHO criteria define osteoporosis as low bone mineral density, with a T-score ≤ -2.5 found in the spine, the neck of the femur, or during a full hip examination. Osteoporosis considerably reduces a patient's quality of life. QoL should be carefully evaluated before fractures occur to enable the development of an appropriate treatment plan. The progression of osteoporosis may be significantly inhibited by following a proper diet, leading a healthy lifestyle, taking dietary supplements, and receiving appropriate treatment. Education and the prevention of the disease play a major role. Potentially modifiable risk factors for osteoporosis are vitamin D deficiency, smoking, alcohol consumption, low calcium intake, low or excessive phosphorus intake, protein deficiency or a high-protein diet, excessive consumption of coffee, a sedentary lifestyle or lack of mobility, and insufficient exposure to the sun. Pharmaceutical treatment for osteoporosis involves bisphosphonates, calcium and vitamin D3, denosumab, teriparatide, raloxifene, and strontium ranelate. Data indicates that 30%-50% of patients do not take their medication correctly. Other methods of treatment include exercise, kinesitherapy, treatment at a health resort, physical therapy, and diet.

Estrategias de enseñanza y aprendizaje de docentes y estudiantes de primer año de la carrera de kinesiología de la Universidad Finis Terrae / Learning strategies for first-year teachers and students of the physical therapy program at Universersity Finis Terrae

Las estrategias de aprendizaje explican el curso y organización del pensamiento, destacando tres momentos claves en su utilización: antes, donde se incluyen las condiciones para que ocurra el aprendizaje; durante, donde se llevan a cabo los procesos; y después, que presentan los resultados de esta secuencia. Para determinar cuáles son las estrategias que utilizan los estudiantes de primer año de Kinesiología se aplicó a 75 estudiantes el instrumento ACRA abreviado, que consiste en un cuestionario autoadministrado de 44 preguntas de escala Likert, Por otro lado, para conocer las estrategias que los docentes necesitan y exigen a sus estudiantes se realizó una encuesta estructurada validada por juicio de expertos a 5 profesores encargados de asignatura. Los resultados en los estudiantes destacan que la codificación es el proceso que presenta mayor debilidad y en los docentes destaca que, si bien se les exigen determinadas estrategias a los estudiantes, los docentes declaran no saber cómo enseñarlas. Esto contribuye a la persistencia de la brecha que los estudiantes traen desde la educación media en las estrategias de codificación y evidencia la necesidad de capacitación de los docentes.

The learning strategies explain the course and organization of thought, highlighting three key moments on their use: before, where the conditions for learning occurs are included; during, where the processes are carried out; and later, presenting the results of this sequence. To determine which are the strategies used for first-year Kinesiology students, the abbreviated ACRA instrument was applied to 75 students, which consists of a self-administrated questionnaire of 44 Likert Scale questions, and to know the strategies that teachers need that students have, a structured survey validated by expert's judgment was carried out to 5 teachers in charge of a course. The results in the students highlight that coding is the process that presents the greatest weakness and, in the teachers, although students are required to have certain strategies, the teachers declare that they do not know how to teach those. This contributes to the persistence of the gap that students bring from high school in coding strategies and shows the need for training in pedagogical tools for university teachers.

Conceptual physical education: A course for the future.

The conceptual physical education (CPE) innovation began in the mid-20th century as an alternative approach to college-level, activity-only basic instruction classes. In addition to physical activity sessions, CPE courses (classes) use text material and classroom sessions to teach kinesiology concepts and principles of health-related fitness and health-enhancing physical activity. CPE courses are now offered in nearly all college programs as either required or electives classes. Two decades later, the high school CPE innovation began, and Kindergarten-8 programs followed. In this commentary, I argue that historian Roberta Park was correct in her assessment that physical education has the potential to be the renaissance field of the 21st century. Scientific contributions of researchers in kinesiology will lead the way, but science-based CPE and companion fitness education programs that align with physical education content standards and fitness education benchmarks will play a significant role. CPE courses have been shown to be effective in promoting knowledge, attitudes, and out-of-school physical activity and have the potential to elevate physical education as we chart the course of our future.

Opinión de estudiantes de kinesiología relacionado con precauciones estándar, vista de enfermería / Opinion of kinesiology students related to standard precautions, nursing view

INTRODUCCIÓN: Las precauciones estándar corresponden a un grupo de prácticas de prevención de infecciones que se aplican en la atención a todos los pacientes, tiene como objetivo prevenir la transmisión cruzada de microorganismos entre pacientes. OBJETIVO: Develar la opinión de las/os estudiantes de Kinesiología de la Universidad Mayor-Temuco con relación a las Precauciones Estándar. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio cualitativo, descriptivo y exploratorio, estudio intrínseco de caso, la muestra no probabilística, intencionada: 12 sujetos estudiante de kinesiología 2018; criterio de inclusión: haber aprobado la asignatura de Cuidados Básicos del Enfermo; recogida de datos: entrevistas en profundidad, se utilizaron notas de campo y se manejó el método de comparación constante, además esquema de la reducción progresiva. RESULTADOS: Para la categoría de significado de precauciones estándar surge medida de protección y seguridad para usuario y tratante; para precauciones estándar utilizadas en prácticas clínicas emerge las subcategorías de elementos y técnicas de barrera en forma análoga nace como categoría aplicabilidad de precauciones estándar de ella se desprenden campos clínicos, eventos clínicos del usuario y técnicas y procedimientos; para la categoría factores facilitadores: docente y estudiantes; en tanto factores obstaculizadores: curriculum. CONCLUSIONES: En los estudiantes existe un conocimiento deficiente y conceptos aislados sobre PE, utilizan principalmente guantes y lavado de manos; menor grado uso de mascarilla y pechera. Destaca positivamente conocimiento docente; factores obstaculizadores: aspectos teóricos deficientes curriculares; considerar modificaciones curriculares en aspectos conceptuales y procedimentales.

BACKGROUND: the standard precautions correspond to a group of infection prevention practices that are applied in the care of all patients, it aims to prevent the cross-transmission of microoganisms between patiens. OBJETIVE: to reveal the opinion of Kinesiology students at the Universidad Mayor-Temuco regarding standard precautions. METHODOLOGY: Qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study, intrinsic case study, non-probabilistic sample, intentional: 12 subjects, kinesiology student of the year 2018; For data collection, in-depth interviews were used, field notes and the constant comparison method were used, in addition to the progressive reduction scheme. RESULTS: 173 units of meaning emerge, for the category of meaning of standard precautions, protection and security measure for user and trafficker arises; For standard precautions used in clinical practices, the subcategories of barrier elements and techniques emerge, the most mentioned, in an analogous way, the applicability of standard precautions is born as a category of clinical fields, clinical events of the user and techniques and procedures; for the category facilitating factors: teacher and student are the least mentioned; as impeding factors: curriculum. CONCLUSIONS: There is a deficient knowledge and isolated concepts about SP, mainly use gloves and hand washing; less degree the use of masks and scrubs. It is positively highlighted teacher's knowledge, and some of the hindering factors are the lack of theoretical aspects of the curriculum and the consideration for curriculum modifications to compensate conceptual and procedural aspects.

Kinesitherapy for idiopathic facial palsy: A protocol of systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic facial nerve palsy (Bells palsy) is the most common acute mono-neuropathy which lack of effective treatments. Kinesitherapy as an alternative therapeutic approach was widely used in clinical. But the effects on Bells palsy outcome are still debated. METHODS: The aim of this study is to systematically review the therapeutic efficacy of kinesitherapy for Bells palsy. Database including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Chinese Biomedical database (CBM), Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Science and Technology Periodical database (VIP) and WangFang database will be searched to collect randomized controlled trails (RCTs) on kinesitherapy for Bells palsy from inception to Nov 2020. The therapeutic effects based on recovery rate, House-Brackmann (H-B) facial classification system, Sunny brook face grading system and adverse events after the treatment will be marked as the primary outcomes. RevMan V.5.3 software will be used to calculate the data synthesis as well as to perform meta-analysis if the results are appropriate. RESULTS: The literature will provide a high-quality synthesis of current evidence of kinesitherapy for Bells palsy from various comprehensive assessment, including the recovery rate, H-B facial classification, Sunny brook face scores, adverse events rate, Facial disability index (FDI), residual symptoms 6 months after onset, incomplete recovery rate after 1 year. CONCLUSION: The systematic review will provide up-to-date evidence to assess kinesitherapy for Bells palsy. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER: PROSPERO CRD42020215109.

Short-term effect of kinesiology taping on pain, functional disability and lumbar proprioception in individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain: a double-blinded, randomized trial.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of kinesiology taping (KT) on lumbar proprioception, pain, and functional disability in individuals with nonspecific chronic low back pain (CLBP). METHODS: Thirty individuals with nonspecific CLBP participated in this double-blinded, randomized clinical trial from July 2017 to September 2018. The participants were randomized into two groups: KT (n = 15) and placebo group (n = 15). KT was applied with 15-25% tension for 72 h, and placebo taping was used without tension. Lumbar repositioning error was measured by a bubble inclinometer at three different angles (45° and 60° flexion, and 15° extension) in upright standing. Pain and disability were assessed by the Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire and Oswestry Disability Index, respectively. All measurements were recorded at baseline and 3 days after taping. RESULTS: Pain and disability scores reduced 3 days after taping in the KT group with large effect sizes (p < 0.05). Only the total score of pain was significantly different between the groups 3 days after taping and improved more in the KT group with a large effect size (p < 0.05). However, lumbar repositioning errors were similar between the groups after 3 days (p > 0.05). Also, only constant error of 15° extension showed a moderate correlation with disability (r = 0.39, p = 0.02). CONCLUSION: KT can decrease pain and disability scores after 3 days of application. Although placebo taping can reduce pain, the effect of KT is higher than placebo taping. The findings do not support the therapeutic effect of KT and placebo taping as a tool to enhance lumbar proprioception in patients with nonspecific CLBP. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study prospectively registered on 21.05.2018 at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials: IRCT20090301001722N20 .

Aprendizaje interprofesional en los internados de las carreras de la salud del Hospital Josefina Martínez / Interprofessional learning of interns at Josefina Martínez Hospital

Introducción: las dinámicas de atención en salud requieren que los profesionales que componen el equipo de salud trabajen en for-ma colaborativa. Sin embargo, durante su formación, las oportunidades de aprendizaje con otras disciplinas son escasas. Se reportan los resultados del primer proyecto para promover el aprendizaje interprofesional en los internos que rotan por el Hospital Josefina Martínez. Método: de marzo a julio 2018, se realizó un taller constituido por dos sesiones, en cada rotación de internado. Participaron internos de cinco carreras en forma conjunta (kinesiología, odontología, nutrición, fonoaudiología y terapia ocupacional). Se adaptó la encuesta de disposición al aprendizaje interprofesional, para ser aplicada antes y después de cada taller. Se calcularon las medianas, rangos intercuartílicos (Q1; Q3y se compararon los puntajes mediante test de Wilcoxon. Resultados: hubo una disposición positiva inicial al aprendizaje interprofesional, con mejoría significativa después de los talleres en todas las dimensiones de la encuesta: Trabajo en equipo y colaboración (<0,001), trabajo centrado en el paciente (<0,001), y sentido de identidad profesional (<0,05). La diferencia del puntaje global de la encuesta también fue significativa (<0,001). Conclusiones: se demostró un cambio favorable y significativo en las respuestas de los internos después de los talleres, en todas las dimensiones de la encuesta. En los comentarios, destacaron la relevancia de aprender con estudiantes de otras carreras, describiendo que aumentó su conocimiento sobre éstas y reforzando el impacto que dicha integración tiene en mejorar la atención y resolución de problemas en salud.

Background: The dynamics of health care require that the health professionals work collaboratively; however, during their training, learning opportunities with other disciplines are infrequent. The results of the first project to promote interprofessional learning in the clinical internship at Hospital Josefina Martínez are reported. Methods: From March to July 2018, two workshops for each internship rotation were carried. Students from fivecareers participated together (Kinesiology, Dentistry, Nutrition, Speech Therapy, and Occupa-tional Therapy). The readiness to interprofessional scale survey was adapted, to be applied before and after each workshop. Medians, interquartile range (Q1; Q3) were calculated, and the Wilcoxon test was used to compare the results. Results: There was an initial po-sitive readiness for interprofessional learning, with a significant improvement in all the dimensions of the survey, after the workshops: Teamwork and collaboration (<.001), patient-centered care (<.001), and sense of professional identity (<.05). The differences from the overall survey were also significant (<0.001). Conclusions: A favorable change was demonstrated in the responses of the students after the workshops, overalland in all the dimensions of the survey. In the comments, the students highlighted the relevance of learning with students from other careers, describing that it increased their knowledge about different professions and strengthening the impact that this integration has in improving attention and resolving health problems.
