ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to verify the adequacy of affordances in the home environment of children at risk of developmental delay and to identify factors associated with their frequency. METHODS: The cross-sectional study included 97 families who responded to the Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development - Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) for 3-18 months (n=63), or AHEMD - Self-Report (AHEMD-SR) for 18-42 months (n=34). The Mann-Whitney U test was used to identify the differences between the frequencies of affordances between the groups. Multiple linear regression was used to verify the association between the child's sex, mother's marital status, education, socioeconomic level, child and mother's ages, house residents' number, per capita income, and AHEMD scores (α=0.05). RESULTS: The home affordances' frequency in the AHEMD-IS ranged from less than adequate to excellent, while in the AHEMD-SR, the highest predominance was medium. The offer of stimuli in the AHEMD-IS was significantly higher. Higher socioeconomic level and house residents' number were associated with greater affordances. CONCLUSIONS: The higher the socioeconomic level and house residents' number, the greater the affordances in the homes of children at risk of delay. It is necessary to provide families with some alternatives to make their home environments richer in affordances that favor child development.

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar a adequação das oportunidades de ação no ambiente doméstico de crianças em risco de atraso no desenvolvimento e identificar fatores associados à sua frequência. Métodos Este estudo transversal incluiu 97 famílias que responderam ao Affordances in the Home Environment for Motor Development - Infant Scale (AHEMD-IS) para 3-18 meses (n=63) ou o Self Report (AHEMD-SR) para 18-42 meses (n=34). O teste de Mann-Whitney foi utilizado para identificar as diferenças entre as frequências de oportunidades de ação entre os grupos. A regressão linear múltipla foi utilizada para verificar a associação entre o sexo da criança, o estado civil, a escolaridade e nível socioeconômico da mãe, as idades da criança e da mãe, o número de residentes da casa, a renda per capita e os escores do AHEMD (α=0,05). Resultados A frequência das oportunidades de ação dos domicílios no AHEMD-IS variou de menos do que adequado a excelente; enquanto, no AHEMD-SR, a maior predominância foi de média frequência. A oferta de estímulos no AHEMD-IS foi significativamente maior. O maior nível socioeconômico e o número de moradores da casa foram associados a maiores oportunidades de ação. Conclusões Quanto maior o nível socioeconômico e o número de moradores, maiores são as oportunidades de ação nos domicílios das crianças em risco de atraso. É necessário oferecer às famílias algumas alternativas para tornar os seus ambientes domésticos mais ricos em oportunidades de ação que favoreçam o desenvolvimento infantil.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar as propriedades psicométricas do SAT-PRO/Br através da observação da validade estrutural e concorrente, consistência interna e estabilidade. Método: A amostra deste estudo transversal foi consecutiva, não probabilística, constituída por 128 idosos com amputação de membro inferior, com amputação unilateral e que utilizavam a prótese a pelo menos um ano. As propriedades psicométricas foram avaliadas através da validade estrutural (Comparative Fit Index- CFI, Tucker-Lewis Index-TLI, Root Means Square Error of Approximation-RMSEA e Standardized Root Mean Residual-SRMR), validade concorrente utilizando a versão brasileira da Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales - Revised (TAPES-R), além da consistência interna dos itens pelo alfa de Cronbach e estabilidade pelo Intraclass Correlacion Coefficient (ICC). Resultados: O SAT-PRO/Br e a TAPES-R apresentaram forte correlação em relação a validade concorrente. A estabilidade variou de 0,85 a 0,91 através do ICC. Os índices de modelo do ajuste apresentaram valores de CFI de 0,991, TLI de 0,989, RMSEA de 0,045 e o SRMR de 0,074. Observou-se uma boa consistência interna com alfa de Cronbach total de 0.91. Conclusão: As propriedades psicométricas deste estudo sobre o SAT-PRO/Br levam a concluir que esta versão é válida, confiável e apresenta boa consistência interna e estabilidade para ser aplicada em idosos brasileiros amputados de membro inferior.


Objective: To analyze the psychometric properties of the SAT-PRO/Br through the observation of structural and concurrent validity, internal consistency and stability. Method: The sample of this cross-sectional study was consecutive, non-probabilistic, consisting of 128 elderly with lower limb amputation, with unilateral amputation and who used the prosthesis for at least one year. The psychometric properties were evaluated through structural validity (Comparative Fit Index- CFI, Tucker-Lewis Index-TLI, Root Means Square Error of Approximation-RMSEA and Standardized Root Mean Residual-SRMR), concurrent validity using the Brazilian version of Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales - Revised (TAPES-R), in addition to the internal consistency of the items by Cronbach's alpha and stability by the Intraclass Correlacion Coefficient (ICC). Results: The SAT-PRO/Br and TAPES-R showed a strong correlation in relation to concurrent validity. Stability ranged from 0.85 to 0.91 across the ICC. The fit model indices showed CFI values of 0.991, TLI of 0.989, RMSEA of 0.045 and SRMR of 0.074. A good internal consistency was observed with a total Cronbach's alpha of 0.91. Conclusion: The psychometric properties of this study on the SAT-PRO/Br lead to the conclusion that this version is valid, reliable and has good internal consistency and stability to be applied to elderly Brazilians with lower limb amputees.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Identificar os métodos utilizados para determinar o gasto energético de pessoas com amputação de membro inferior. Método: Revisão sistemática, foram selecionadas as bases de dados MedLine (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System on-line) via Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus (Elsevier), PsycINFO - APA Psycnet (American Psychological Association) e SPORTDiscus. Foram incluídos estudos originais, observacionais, experimentais, que abordaram a temática do gasto energético em amputados de membro inferior, disponíveis na íntegra, nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Resultados: Os estudos utilizaram principalmente a avaliação do consumo de oxigênio (VO2) por meio do teste de Ergoespirometria e o Índice de Custo Fisiológico através da Frequência Cardíaca. No entanto, algumas pesquisas utilizaram a Escala Subjetiva de Percepção de Esforço, a Escala de aptidão autorreferida e um questionário relacionado a percepção da capacidade de andar. Conclusão: O VO2 é a variável mais fidedigna para avaliação do consumo energético, contudo, testes com medidas diretas podem ser mais difíceis de aplicar, pelas alterações recorrentes à amputação, podendo comprometer o resultado, assim, o uso de variáveis que estimem o consumo energético por meio de medidas indiretas se torna uma alternativa válida, mas é necessário atentar- se no uso da Frequência Cardíaca em populações que utilizem algum tipo de medicamento que possa alterar ou comprometer o resultado.


Objective: The objective of the present study was to identify the methods used to determine energy consumption of people with lower limb amputation. Methods: Systematic review, MedLine (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System online) databases were selected via Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus (Elsevier), PsycINFO - APA Psycnet (American Psychological Association) and SPORTDiscus . Eligibility criteria: Original, observational, experimental studies, which addressed the topic of energy consumption in lower limb amputees, available in full, in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results: The studies used mainly the assessment of oxygen consumption (VO2) using the Ergospirometry test and the Physiological Cost Index through Heart Rate. However, some researches used the Subjective Scale of Perception of Effort, the Scale of self-reported fitness and a questionnaire related to the perception of the ability to walk. Conclusion: VO2 is the most reliable variable for assessing energy consumption, however, tests with direct measures can be more difficult to apply, due to recurrent changes to amputation, which may compromise the result, thus the use of variables that estimate energy consumption. through indirect measures it becomes a valid alternative, but it is necessary to pay attention to the use of heart rate in populations that use some type of medication that may alter or compromise the result.

ABSTRACT

The scope of the Denver II Developmental Screening Test is to assess the development of children between 0 and 6 years of age. The aim of this study was to verify evidence of intra- and inter-examiner reliability, concurrent validity, sensitivity and specificity of the Brazilian version of Denver II. It involved a cross-sectional methodological study. A total of 254 children, between 0 and 72 months with risk of developmental delay, participated in the study. Two examiners verified the Denver II intra- and inter-examiner reliability. Concurrent validity, sensitivity and specificity were checked against the Brazilian version of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires as a criterion-referenced test. Statistical analysis used the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, Spearman's Correlation Test and Contingency Table, the level of significance being α=0.05. The results identified that intra and inter examiner reliability was excellent in all age groups. Concurrent validity showed moderate to very strong rates in the 13-to-60-month age group. The sensitivity and specificity indices ranged from 73-99% and 58-92%, respectively. The Brazilian version of Denver II has good rates of psychometric properties and is a reliable and valid instrument to be applied to Brazilian children at risk of developmental delay.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar a validade e confiabilidade da versão brasileira da TAPES-R em uma população com amputação de membro inferior. Método: Participaram deste estudo transversal 102 pessoas com amputação de membro inferior, usuárias de prótese. Foram avaliadas as propriedades psicométricas (validade concorrente, grau de concordância (Índice de Kappa) e confiabilidade (ICC) intra e interobservador, além da consistência interna dos itens pelo alfa de Cronbach) da versão brasileira da TAPES-R. Para avaliação da validade concorrente foi utilizado o Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ). Resultados: A TAPES-R se correlacionou com o PEQ, com exceção das subescalas de ajuste social e geral. O ICC interobservador variou de 0,38 a 0,88 na parte 1 e de 0,27 a 0,88 na parte 2, já o ICC intraobservador variou de 0,63 a 0,83 na parte 1 e de 0,27 a 0,79 na parte 2. O índice de Kappa variou de 0,18 a 0,66 na análise interobservador e de 0,25 a 0,69 na análise intraobservador. O Alfa de Cronbach variou de 0,75 a 0,89. Conclusão: A avaliação das propriedades psicométricas permite concluir que a TAPES-R é válida, confiável e apresenta uma boa consistência interna para ser aplicada em adultos brasileiros amputados de membro inferior.


Objective: Evaluate the validity and reliability of the Brazilian version of TAPES-R in people with lower limb amputation. Method: 102 people with lower limb amputation who used a prosthesis participated in this cross-sectional study. The psychometric properties (concurrent validity, degree of agreement (Kappa Index) and intra and interobserver reliability (ICC), in addition to the internal consistency of the items by Cronbach's alpha) of the Brazilian version of TAPES-R were evaluated. To assess concurrent validity, the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) was used. Results: TAPES-R was correlated with PEQ, except for the subscales of social and general adjustment. The inter-observer ICC ranged from 0.38 to 0.88 in part 1 and from 0.27 to 0.88 in part 2, whereas the intra-observer ICC ranged from 0.63 to 0.83 in part 1 and 0.27 to 0.79 in part 2. The Kappa index varied from 0.18 to 0.66 in the inter-observer analysis and from 0.25 to 0.69 in the intra-observer analysis. Cronbach's alpha ranged from 0.75 to 0.89. Conclusion: The evaluation of psychometric properties allows us to verify that a TAPES-R is valid, reliable and has a good internal consistency to be applied to Brazilian adults with lower limb amputations.

ABSTRACT

A satisfação da pessoa amputada com a sua prótese é fundamental para o sucesso da reabilitação protésica, o que justifica a necessidade de existirem instrumentos para serem utilizados pelos profissionais de saúde. Um dos instrumentos que permite realizar esta avaliação é o questionário SAT-PRO, que foi desenvolvido e aplicado no Canadá, em idosos amputados de membro inferior, mas que no Brasil ainda não está traduzido, adaptado ou validado. Objetivo: Realizar a tradução do SAT-PRO para a língua portuguesa, e apresentar uma versão adaptada culturalmente para ser aplicada em idosos brasileiros. Método: A tradução e adaptação transcultural foi realizada em cinco etapas, seguindo-se de uma sexta etapa em que se verificou a validade de conteúdo e confiabilidade do instrumento. Resultados: Durante o processo de tradução e adaptação encontraram-se algumas ambiguidades que foram colmatadas pela realização de ajustes consensuais ao questionário. O índice de validade de conteúdo dos itens variou entre 0,85 e 1, e o índice de validade da escala foi de 0,98. O valor total do coeficiente alfa de Cronbach foi de 0,89. Conclusão: O processo de tradução e adaptação transcultural do SAT-PRO, revelou que este se encontra adaptado à realidade cultural de idosos brasileiros com amputação de membro inferior, apresentando também boa validade de conteúdo e confiabilidade.


The satisfaction of amputees with their prostheses is essential for the success of prosthetic rehabilitation, which justifies the need for instruments to be used by health professionals. One of the instruments that allows this assessment to be carried out is the SAT-PRO questionnaire, developed and applied in Canada, for elderly amputees of lower limb, nevertheless in Brazil it is not yet translated, adapted or validated. Objective: The aim of this study is to carry out the translation of the SAT-PRO into Portuguese and to present a culturally adapted version to be applied to elderly Brazilians. Method: The translation and adaptation were carried out in five stages, followed by a sixth stage, in which the content validation and reliability was verified. Results: During the translation and adaptation process, some ambiguities were found that were overcome by making consensual adjustments to the questionnaire. The content validity index of the items varied between 0.85 and 1 and the scale validity index was 0.98. The total value of Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.89. Conclusion: The process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the SAT-PRO revealed that it is adapted to the cultural reality of elderly Brazilians with lower limb amputation, also showing good content validity and reliability.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: The Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales-Revised assesses adjustment to amputation and to using a prosthesis and considers psychosocial adjustment, activity restriction, satisfaction with the prosthesis, and other aspects related to health and physical activities, including residual and phantom limb pain. OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to assess the semantic equivalence of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales-Revised when translated into Brazilian Portuguese. STUDY DESIGN: Qualitative study. METHODS: The process was conducted in five stages: translation of the questionnaire into Brazilian Portuguese; development of a first consensual version in Brazilian Portuguese; appraisal of the translation by an expert committee; back-translation; and semantics assessment of the instrument. For semantic evaluation, the translated and adapted Brazilian Portuguese versions were applied to a convenience sample of 10 individuals. RESULTS: The translated instrument showed a high degree of comprehension within the target population, as it was observed all questions from Part I and II were score 4 or higher on an Ordinal Scale ranging from 0 to 5. CONCLUSION: The Brazilian version of Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales-Revised has a satisfactory verbal comprehension and is now ready for assessment of its psychometric properties. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The process of semantic evaluation of the Brazilian version of the Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scales-Revised makes available to health professionals and researchers who work with people with amputations initial information on cross-cultural adaptation and degree of comprehension of this scale.

ABSTRACT

Silva, FCd, Iop, RdR, Andrade, A, Costa, VP, Gutierres Filho, PJB, and Silva, Rd. Effects of physical exercise on the expression of microRNAs: A systematic review 34(1): 270-280, 2020-Studies have detected changes in the expression of miRNAs after physical exercise, which brings new insight into the molecular control of adaptation to exercise. Therefore, the objective of the current systematic review of experimental and quasiexperimental studies published in the past 10 years was to assess evidence related to acute effects, chronic effects, and both acute and chronic effects of physical exercise on miRNA expression in humans, as well as its functions, evaluated in serum, plasma, whole blood, saliva, or muscle biopsy. For this purpose, the following electronic databases were selected: MEDLINE by Pubmed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and also a manual search in references of the selected articles to April 2017. Experimental and quasiexperimental studies were included. Results indicate that, of the 345 studies retrieved, 40 studies met the inclusion criteria and two articles were included as a result of the manual search. The 42 studies were analyzed, and it can be observed acute and chronic effects of physical exercises (aerobic and resistance) on the expression of several miRNAs in healthy subjects, athletes, young, elderly and in patients with congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus type 2 associated with morbid obesity, prediabetic, and patients with intermittent claudication. It is safe to assume that miRNA changes, both in muscle tissues and bodily fluids, are presumably associated with the benefits induced by acute and chronic physical exercise. Thus, a better understanding of changes in miRNAs as a response to physical exercise might contribute to the development of miRNAs as therapeutic targets for the improvement of exercise capacity in individuals with any given disease. However, additional studies are necessary to draw accurate conclusions.

ABSTRACT

A marcha das crianças com paralisia cerebral (PC) tem sido alvo de intervenções conservadoras como a Equoterapia. Entretanto, seus efeitos têm sido pouco sistematizados na literatura. Objetivo: Analisar a evidência da efetividade da Equoterapia na marcha de crianças com PC comparada às terapias conservadoras não invasivas de ensaios clínicos. Método: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática com busca nas bases de dados Cinahl, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar, Lilacs, Lisa (ProQuest), PEDro, PsycINFO (APA), Pubmed e Scopus, sem fltros. Foram incluídos ensaios clínicos que compararam Equoterapia e terapias convencionais (terapias conservadoras não invasivas) versus terapias convencionais, que avaliaram parâmetros da marcha em crianças com diagnóstico de PC com idade ≤ 12 anos. Os estudos foram avaliados quanto à qualidade metodológica pela escala Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale. Resultados: Dentre os 668 estudos identificados, seis ensaios clínicos foram selecionados. Destes, a amostra total foi de 283 crianças, sendo 151 crianças alocadas no grupo experimental (GE) (hipoterapia + terapia convencional) e 132 crianças, no grupo controle (GC) (terapia convencional). Quatro estudos apresentaram elevada qualidade metodológica e dois estudos, baixa qualidade. Em relação à melhora dos parâmetros da marcha, GE e GC melhoraram, no entanto o GE apresentou significante melhora na análise da dimensão e (andar-pular-correr) da medida da função motora grossa, redução da assimetria muscular durante a deambulação e aumento da velocidade da marcha. Conclusão: A revisão sistemática sugere que o tratamento com associação de hipoterapia e terapia convencional promove melhora da marcha de crianças com PC.


Gait in cerebral palsy (CP) has been the target of conservative interventions as hippotherapy. However, the effects of this therapy on the promotion and functional adaptation of gait have been little systematized in the literature. Objective: To analyze the evidence of the effectiveness of hippotherapy in the gait of children with CP comparing to noninvasive conservative therapies of clinical trials. Methods: A systematic review of clinical trials was performed with search indatabases Cinahl, Cochrane, Embase, Google Scholar, Lilacs, Lisa (ProQuest), PEDro, PsycINFO (APA), Pubmed and Scopus), with no flters. It was included clinical trials comparing hippotherapy plus conventional therapy (non-invasive conservative therapies) versus conventional therapy that assessed gait parameters in children with CP diagnosis and age ≤ 12 years old. The studies were examined as methodological quality by the Physiotherapy Evidence Database Scale. Results: Of the 668 studies identifed, six trials were selected. Of these, the total sample consisted of 283 children (151 children were allocated to the experimental group (hippotherapy) and 132 children, in the control group (conventional therapies). Four studies presented high methodological quality and two studies, low quality. Regarding the improvement of gait parameters, experimental group and control group improved, however, the experimental group presented signifcant improvement in the analysis of the E dimension (walk-jump-run) of the gross motor function measure instrument, reduction of muscular asymmetry during walking and increase in walking speed. Conclusion: The systematic review, suggests that the treatment with association of hippotherapy and conventional therapy promotes improvement of gait of children with CP.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar o humor de atletas profissionais de futsal durante a segunda fase da Liga Futsal Brasileira 2012. A amostra foi composta por 15 atletas do sexo masculino e o instrumento utilizado para avaliação foi a Escala de Humor de Brunel. Os resultados mostram que houve diferenças significativas (p<0,05) dos estados de humor no dia anterior, pré-jogo e pós-jogo. A equipe apresentou estados de humor correspondente ao perfil iceberg em quase todos os momentos: vigor constante e elevado, com exceção do pós-jogo nas derrotas; e fadiga com índices baixos, que se apresentaram elevadas no pós-jogo. Conclui-se que os estados de humor podem intervir positivamente ou negativamente no desempenho esportivo da equipe.


ABSTRACT This study evaluated the moods states of professional futsal players during the second phase of the Brazilian Futsal League 2012. The sample was composed of 15 male athletes and the instrument used for evaluation was the Brunel Mood Scale. The results show that there were significant differences (p<0.05) in mood states on the previous day, pre-game and post-game. The team presented mood states corresponding to the iceberg profile in almost all times: constant and high vigor, except for the post-game defeats, and fatigue with low levels, which were elevated in the post-game. It was concluded that mood states can positively or negatively interfere with team sports performance.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Este ensaio aborda os fundamentos que perspectivam o jogo como mediador da prática psicomotora e a centralidade da dimensão lúdica do corpo-em-relação, enquadrado numa dialética entre o corpo real e o corpo imaginário. Através de uma exposição de ideias, que se fundamentam em diferentes áreas do conhecimento, apresentamos algumas linhas orientadoras para que os profissionais da área da saúde, que pretendem atuar de forma terapêutica ou na ajuda ao desenvolvimento da criança, utilizem o jogo-em-relação. Após breves considerações sobre a psicomotricidade como prática-em-relação, equacionamos a gênese do jogo-em-relação e a sua fundamentação teórico-prática, explicitando a importância das vivências sensoriomotoras (gnosicopráxico) e das representações (imaginário-simbólico) no desenvolvimento psicocorporal e psicomotor da criança. Como considerações finais, veiculamos algumas reflexões necessárias para enquadrar o jogo na intervenção terapêutica, reforçando a importância do estabelecimento de uma relação de qualidade. De forma geral, ao longo do texto, abordamos um conjunto de ideias que permitem aos terapeutas, independentemente de serem psicomotricistas, terapeutas ocupacionais ou outros profissionais, refletir sobre a forma de solicitar a função, a sensorialidade e o imaginário, para favorecerem os processos de integração psíquica, ao utilizarem o jogo-em-relação como mediador da sua intervenção.


Abstract This essay article addresses some fundamentals that look at play as a mediator of psychomotor practice and the centrality of the body-in-relation playful dimension, framed in a dialectic between the real body and the imaginary body. Through an exposition of ideas, which are based on different areas of knowledge, we present some guidelines for health professionals who intend to act in a therapeutic way or assist with child development, using play-in-relation as intervention mediator. After brief considerations about psychomotricity as practice-in-relation, we equate the genesis of play-in-relation and its theoretical-practical grounds, explaining the importance of sensory-motor experiences (perceptive-praxis) and representations (imaginary-symbolic) in the psychocorporeal and psychomotor development of the child. As final considerations, we present some reflections necessary to frame play in therapeutic intervention, reinforcing the importance of establishing a quality relationship. In general, we approach a set of ideas that enables therapists - regardless of whether they are psychomotor therapists, occupational therapists, or others - to reflect on how to request function, sensoriality, and the imaginary to favor the processes of psychic integration, when using play-in-relation as mediator of their intervention.

Devem ser implantadas medidas apropriadas que ajudem a remover ou diminuir o impacto das principais barreiras apontadas pelos participantes, de modo a promover a saúde e o bem-estar dessa população.


Abstract The present study examined the barriers to physical activity participation in people with visual impairments. One hundred and fourteen subjects (residents of Brasília-Federal District) with visual impairment and low levels of physical activity answered a questionnaire over the phone. There are several relevant barriers to physical activity, including sidewalk problems, lack of appropriate spaces, no support from public entities, need of a guide, lack of opportunities for activities from specialized institutions, and no safety precautions at facilities to prevent accidents. It must be implemented appropriate measures to help eliminate or reduce the impact of the main barriers pointed out by the subjects so that health and the well-being of this population can be promoted.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Given the relative importance of cognitive impairment, there was considerable interest in identifying the cognitive profile of PD patients, in order to ensure specific and appropriate therapeutic interventions. PURPOSE: To determine the effects of physical exercise programs on cognitive function in PD patients, compared with the control group. DATA SOURCES: Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, PEDro and Web of Science (last searched in September 2016). STUDY SELECTION: Randomized clinical trials examining the effects of physical exercise programs and cognitive function in PD patients. Nine studies fulfilled the selection criteria and were included in this review. DATA EXTRACTION: Characteristics of the publication, characteristics of the participants, test used for cognitive screening, cognitive domain assessed, tools used to assess cognitive function, characteristics of the experimental intervention, characteristics of the control group, mean results and standard deviation of function cognitive. The PEDro score was used to evaluate methodological quality. DATA SYNTHESIS: Most eligible studies showed good methodological quality based on the PEDro scale. Studies have shown that adapted tango for PD patients, cognitive training combined with motor training, and treadmill training promote the preservation or improvement of cognitive function in PD patients. LIMITATIONS: The diversity of cognitive tests used to assess cognitive function and the high heterogeneity identified between the physical exercise programs. CONCLUSIONS: Physical exercise programs promote positive and significant effects on global cognitive function, processing speed, sustained attention and mental flexibility in PD patients, at a mild to moderate stage for patients with a 6-year clinical diagnosis of PD. However, treadmill training performed 3 times a week for about 60 minutes and for a period of 24 weeks produced larger improvements in cognition.

ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to determine the expression of blood microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in PD in humans. For this purpose the following electronic databases were selected: MEDLINE by Pubmed, Scopus and Web of Science. The search strategy included the proposed descriptors in the Medical Subject Headings. There were no restrictions with respect to the language of the publication. In the study selection two independent reviewers initially evaluated studies that were identified by the search strategy according to titles and abstracts. The reviewers evaluated (also unassisted) the complete articles and selected studies according to the eligibility criteria specified above. Studies that were not in accordance with the adopted criteria were excluded according to the boundaries imposed by the search strategy. The following data were extracted from the selected studies: Publication identification, location where the study was conducted, study design, the sample size, the participants' characteristics, the miRNAs involved in PD, the miRNA detection and analysis method, and the type of miRNA dysregulation in PD. Through this systematic review of the literature published over the last 10 years, the expression of 91 different miRNAs were analyzed in the context of PD, with the expression of 39 of these miRNAs differing significantly between individuals with PD and healthy controls and/or between treated and untreated patients with PD. The miRNAs were extracted from mononuclear cells, leukocytes, plasma, serum and peripheral blood, and the majority of the studies used reverse transcription­quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), which is considered to be the gold standard for miRNA analysis.

ABSTRACT

La Educación inclusiva busca la igualdad de oportunidades para todos, y la Terapia Ocupacional puede contribuir para este proceso por medio del desarrollo del desempeño ocupacional. En este sentido se busca analizar las contribuciones de la Terapia Ocupacional para la educación inclusiva mediante los aspectos relacionados al desempeño ocupacional de personas con discapacidad. Por lo tanto, este estudio se caracterizó como una revisión que incluye obras de literatura especializada sobre la educación inclusiva, Terapia Ocupacional y desempeño ocupacional, destacando la Medida Canadiense de desempeño Ocupacional (COPM), que es fundamentada en las directrices de la Terapia Ocupacional para la Práctica Basada en el Cliente. A pesar de la carencia de estudios sobre este tema, fueron seleccionados artículos completos, publicados en la última década en la lengua inglesa y portuguesa. Se puede concluir que la COPM permite identifcar las principales actividades problemas, proporcionando subsidios para mejorar el desempeño y lograr satisfacción en las actividades seleccionadas. La actuación del terapeuta ocupacional en interacción con las personas con discapacidad en la educación inclusiva, puede contribuir signifcativamente para el desarrollo satisfactorio del rol ocupacional, promoviendo un desempeño ocupacional competente, favoreciendo una amplia gama de posibilidades ocupacionales.


Inclusive education seeks equality of opportunity for all and Occupational Therapy can contribute to this process through the development of occupational performance. In this regard, we attempted to analyze the Occupational Therapy contributions for inclusive education through of the aspects related to occupational performance of the people with disabilities. Therefore, this study was characterized as a review that included works of literature on inclusive education, occupational therapy and occupational performance, giving prominence to the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), which is based on the Guidelines of Occupational Therapy Practice-Based Client. We selected yet, despite the lack of studies, articles published in the last decade in English and Portuguese. It can be concluded that the COPM identifes the main activities problems and offer suggestions for improving the performance and satisfaction of selected activities. The role of the occupational therapist with people with disabilities in inclusive education can contribute signifcantly to the development of satisfactory occupational roles, promoting a competent occupational performance favoring the discovery of new occupational opportunities.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo buscou analisar os aspectos curriculares relacionados à educação inclusiva tratados nas disciplinas de atividade motora adaptada ou suas correlatas na formação em Educação Física do Estado de Santa Catarina.. Os sujeitos foram selecionados aleatoriamente (n=17) em 12 Instituições de Ensino Superior catarinenses.Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevista semi-estruturada e questionário. Os dados categoriais foram analisados por meio de análise de conteúdo e os dados numéricos por meio de estatística descritiva. Pode-se concluir que os participantes percebem que os aspectos curriculares têm buscado a formação para atuação inclusiva, porém, através de ações docentes isoladas e com carências de recursos físicos, humanos e metodológicos, gerando assim, fragilidades que afetam a formação universitária para atuação inclusiva. Pode-se, também, concluir que os participantes entendem que as disciplinas na área da adaptada apresentam pre valentemente caráter teórico-prático e técnico-terapêutico e que a docência é realizada por professores relativamente novos na docência universitária, qualificados em nível stricto sensu e que não possuem alunos com deficiência.


This study aimed to examine the curricular aspects related to inclusive education treatedin the discipline of adapted motor activity or similar in Physical Education training of theState of Santa Catarina. Participants were randomly selected (n = 17) in 12 Higher EducationInstitutions in Santa Catarina. Data were collected through semi-structured interview and questionnaire. The categorical data were analyzed using content analysis and numerical data using descriptive statistics. It can be concluded that participants realize that the curricular aspects have sought training for inclusive action, but through isolated teachers actions in poor physical, human and methodologics resources, thus generating weak nesses affecting university education for inclusive action. One can also conclude that the participants understand that the disciplines in the area of adapted prevalently present a theoretical-practical and technical-therapeutic character teaching and are taught by professors relatively new in university teaching, qualified in stricto sensu level andwithout students with disabilities.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar as relações entre qualidade de vida e nível de atividade física de idosos com deficiência que residem em instituições de longa permanência. Método: Este estudo exploratório foi realizado com 55 idosos, por meio de questionários da Organização Mundial da Saúde sobre qualidade de vida (WHOQOL-Bref), específico para idosos (WHOQOL-Old) e sobre atividade física (IPAQ-Long), além de pesquisa em prontuários. Resultados: Constatou-se que a maioria dos idosos estudados foi caracterizada como do sexo feminino, apresentou idade entre 80 e 89 anos; predominância de deficiência visual; maiores escores de qualidade de vida geral nos domínios psicológico e social e menores escores nos domínios físico e ambiental; maiores escores de qualidade de vida relacionada ao envelhecimento nos domínios intimidade e atividade de vida (passadas, presentes e futuras); e menores escores nos domínios morte e medo de morrer e habilidades sensoriais; baixo nível de atividade física e foi considerada sedentária. Verificou-se, ainda, associação significante entre o escore geral de qualidade de vida com comportamentos sedentários e com diversos domínios da qualidade de vida relacionada ao envelhecimento. Conclusão: Os idosos pesquisados com menores tempos sentados, maiores escores nos domínios da autonomia e da intimidade, e menores escores no domínio morte e medo morrer estão associados com maiores escores de qualidade de vida. .


Objective: To analyze the relationship between quality of life and level of physical activity in elderly with disabilities in long-term institutions. Methods: Exploratory study conducted with 55 elderly, through questionnaires from the World Health Organization about quality of life (WHOQOL-Bref), for elderly (WHOQOL-Old), and on physical activity (IPAQ-Long), besides medical charts. Results: Most elderly were characterized as female, aged 80 to 89 years, showed visual impairment, higher scores for general quality of life in the psychological and social domains and lower scores on the physical and environmental domains; higher scores of quality of life related to aging in the intimacy and activity of life (past, present and future) domains and lower scores death and dying and sensory skills domains; low levels of physical activity and were considered sedentary. We also found significant association between the overall score for quality of life with sedentary behavior and various domains of quality of life related to aging. Conclusion: Older respondents with less time sitting down, higher scores in the areas of autonomy and intimacy, and lower scores in the field fear death and dying are associated with higher scores for quality of life. .
