ABSTRACT

O ajuste à amputação envolve tanto questões físicas quanto psicossociais e a satisfação com o membro artificial. Objetivo: Revisar sistematicamente a literatura acerca dos instrumentos que avaliam o ajuste psicossocial à amputação e uso da prótese e a satisfação com a prótese em pessoas com amputação de membro inferior. Métodos: Fonte de dados: Medline via Pubmed, Web of Science e Scopus. Critérios de elegibilidade: estudos originais que utilizaram questionários para avaliar o ajustamento psicossocial a amputação e uso da prótese e a satisfação com a prótese. Participantes: pessoas com amputação de membro inferior. Métodos de avaliação e síntese dos estudos: todas as análises foram realizadas por três avaliadores, de forma independente, sendo os resultados apresentados de forma descritiva, em tabelas. Resultados: Foram encontrados 239 artigos na busca inicial, sendo incluídos 12 artigos ao final da revisão. Nestes, foram identificados 14 questionários que avaliam o ajuste psicossocial e a satisfação com a prótese, porém, somente 5 são validados especificamente para a população amputada. Conclusão: A Trinity Amputation and Prosthesis Experience Scale (TAPES) e o Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) são os instrumentos mais utilizados, sendo sempre importante uma seleção criteriosa dos instrumentos a serem utilizados nas pesquisas e intervenções a fim de se obter dados válidos, confiáveis e comparáveis. Número de registro da revisão sistemática: CRD42019097279

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos de um programa de exercícios físicos de 12 semanas baseado no método Pilates Solo sobre atividade física, equilíbrio, capacidade locomotora e qualidade de vida em homens com amputação unilateral de membro inferior. Método: Participaram do estudo 14 pessoas com amputação unilateral de membro inferior, divididos em 2 grupos: Grupo Intervenção ­ GI (participantes expostos ao protocolo de exercícios baseados no método Pilates Solo) e Grupo Controle ­ GC (participantes não expostos ao protocolo de exercícios baseados no método Pilates Solo). Foram aplicados os seguintes instrumentos: a) ficha para caracterização dos participantes; b) Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD); c) Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg; d) Medida Funcional para Amputados (MFA); e e) Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva e inferencial sendo considerados significativos os resultados com p menor ou igual a 0,05. Resultados: Com base nas análises foi possível observar diferença significativa no equilíbrio após o período experimental (p=0,008), a favor do grupo intervenção. Além disso, pode-se observar diferença significativa na média do grupo intervenção para equilíbrio e para aspectos físicos na qualidade de vida (SF-36), assim como o d de Cohen mostrou efeitos de grande magnitude sobre essas variáveis. Conclusão: Logo, os resultados apresentam efeitos positivos na prática do programa de exercícios físicos sobre o equilíbrio dinâmico e estático e na qualidade de vida de pessoas amputadas.


Objective: Evaluate the effects of a twelve week physical exercise program based on the Pilates Solo method about physical activity, balance, locomotor capacity, and quality of life in men with unilateral lower limb amputation. Method: The study included 14 people with unilateral lower limb amputation, divided in two groups: Intervention Group - IG (participants exposed to the exercise protocol based on the Pilates Solo method) and Control Group - CG (participants that were not exposed to the exercise protocol based on the Pilates Solo method). The following instruments were applied: a) form to characterize the participants; b) Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities (PASIPD); c) Berg's Balance Scale; d) Amputee Functional Measure; and e) Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with results with p less than or equal to 0.05 being considered significant. Results: Based on the analysis, it was possible to observe a significant difference in balance after the experimental period (p=0.008), in favor of the intervention group. In addition, a significant difference can be observed in the mean of the intervention group for balance and for physical aspects of quality of life (SF-36), as well as Cohen's d showed effects of great magnitude on these variables. Conclusion: Therefore, the results show positive effects in the practice of the physical exercise program on the dynamic and static balance and on the quality of life of amputees.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Limb loss affects quality of life, well-being, and autonomy. The World Health Organization has launched a global action plan to reduce physical inactivity and presented recommendations of physical activity for people living with disability. Knowledge of the characteristics of people with lower limb amputation regarding physical activity is important. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the quantity and type of physical activity done by people with lower limb amputation. METHODS: The sample (N = 149) included adults aged 53.08 (17.24) years old with lower limb loss. Data collection was performed through the application of a sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical data sheet and the Brazilian version of the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities. RESULTS: The total Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities score was between 0 and 65.79 metabolic equivalents of task per hour per day, which suggests low practice of physical activities. The most frequently practiced activities (79.9%) were those that involved stationary behavior. Women carried out more domestic activities, and subjects who used lower limb prosthesis and those with traumatic amputation reported higher practice of physical activity. CONCLUSIONS: People living with lower limb amputation, from different regions of Brazil, have low levels of physical activity and mainly carry out activities of stationary behavior.

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

Objective To compare the plantar pressure distribution and the kinematics of the rearfoot on the stance phase of subjects with or without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). Methods A total of 26 subjects with PFPS and 31 clinically healthy subjects, who were paired regarding age, height and mass, participated in the study. The plantar pressure distribution (peak pressure) was assessed in six plantar regions, as well as the kinematics of the rearfoot (maximum eversion angle, percentage of the stance phase when the maximum angle was reached, and percentage of the stance phase in which the rearfoot was in eversion). The data were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics, with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results The pressure on the six plantar regions analyzed and the magnitude of the maximum eversion angle of the rearfoot when walking on flat surfaces did not present differences among the subjects with PFPS. However, the PFPS subjects showed, when walking, an earlier maximum eversion angle of the rearfoot than the subjects on the control group, and stayed less time with the rearfoot in eversion. Conclusion The PFPS seems to be related to modifications on the temporal pattern on the kinematics of the rearfoot.

Resumo Objetivo Comparar a distribuição da pressão plantar e a cinemática do retropé durante a fase de apoio da marcha de sujeitos com e sem síndrome da dor patelofemoral (SDPF). Métodos Participaram 26 sujeitos com SDPF e 31 clinicamente saudáveis, pareados em idade, estatura e massa corporal. Foi avaliada a distribuição da pressão plantar (pico de pressão) em seis regiões plantares, e a cinemática do retropé (ângulo máximo de eversão do retropé, porcentagem da fase de apoio da marcha em que o ângulo é atingido, e porcentagem da fase de apoio em que o retropé permaneceu em eversão). Os dados foram analisados por meio da estatística descritiva e inferencial, com nível de significância de p≤ 0,05. Resultados A pressão nas seis regiões plantares analisadas e a magnitude do ângulo máximo de eversão do retropé durante a marcha em superfície plana não se mostrou diferente nos sujeitos com SDPF. No entanto, sujeitos com SDPF apresentaram, dentro do ciclo da marcha, ângulo máximo de eversão do retropé mais cedo do que sujeitos do grupo controle, e permaneceram menos tempo com o retropé em eversão. Conclusão A SDPF parece estar relacionada à alteração no padrão temporal na cinemática do retropé.

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

Background: Adjustment to amputation is a complex process because it encompasses physical and psychosocial aspects as well as satisfaction with the artificial limb.Purpose: To review the scientific production on psychosocial and physical adjustments to amputation and prosthesis use as well as prosthetic satisfaction in people with lower limb amputation in the last 10 years.Methods: This review was conducted on the MEDLINE via Pubmed, Web of Science and Scopus databases. Original and observational studies published in the last 10 years were included, with topics related to adjustment to amputation and prosthesis use as well as prosthetic satisfaction in people with lower limb amputations.Results: A total of 1042 articles were identified in the initial search, but after analysing the criteria 16 articles were used for analysis in their entirety. Regarding psychosocial adjustments, higher rates of depression, anxiety and body image disorders were observed among people with amputations. Phantom and residual limb pain, gender, employment status and daily hours of prosthesis use may influence psychosocial adjustment. Physical adjustment may be influenced by the level of amputation, educational background, age, daily prosthesis use, ambulatory assistive devices and presence of comorbidities. The areas of greatest prosthetic dissatisfaction were colour and weight.Conclusion: Considering that most of the studies related to the satisfaction and adjustment of the prosthesis are cross-sectional studies, longitudinal studies should be conducted, since monitoring individuals over the years and verifying how these variables change over time may contribute to obtaining more data on the factors that influence prosthetic fitting and satisfaction.Implications for rehabilitationAdjustment to amputation and prosthesis use involves both physical and psychosocial issues, it is important that besides physical rehabilitation, psychological interventions and education and communication activities between the patient and the health professionals are carried out.The adaptation to the prosthesis and the recovery of walking capacity are important goals in the rehabilitation process and the knowledge of the physical and psychosocial factors associated with amputation and the use of the prosthesis can help the health team to provide better care to these subjects.Well-adjusted, comfortable and easy-to-use prostheses are of great importance as they enable the patient to perform their daily activities and maintain their independence.It is important to encourage the participation of the individual in both rehabilitation and choice of prosthesis.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Analisar a relação entre o apoio social (AS) e a prática de atividade física (AF) de idosos por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura de estudos observacionais. Métodos: As buscas foram realizadas nas bases eletrônicas Scopus, PsycInfo, LILACS e MEDLINE, acessado via PubMed. Os termos Mesh utilizados foram relacionados ao "apoio social", "atividade física" e "idosos". Incluíram-se estudos observacionais, com amostra composta por idosos, que investigaram o AS para a AF por meio de instrumentos quantitativos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, com acesso online na íntegra e disponíveis nos idiomas inglês, português e espanhol. Excluíram-se estudos de revisão sistemática, metanálise, protocolos de intervenção e de construção ou validação de ins (AU)trumentos, e aqueles que abordaram o AS para outros comportamentos além da AF. Resultados: A busca resultou em 1311 artigos e, após o processo de seleção, 9 foram incluídos nesta revisão. Em relação ao tipo de estudo, 8 transversais e 1 de coorte, predominando amostras compostas pelo sexo feminino. Os estudos abordaram diferentes instrumentos, tipos e fontes para avaliação do apoio social e avaliaram diferentes domínios da atividade física. Encontraram que, quanto maior o apoio social percebido, maior o nível de atividade física. Conclusão: Verificou-se que existe relação positiva entre o apoio social e a prática de atividade física de idosos, destacando a importância da sua função instrumental e de diferentes fontes, como de familiares, amigos e profissionais da saúde para a promoção de comportamentos ativos por parte dessa população.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a postura de sujeitos com amputação de membro inferior. MÉTODOS: Participaram do presente estudo 10 sujeitos do sexo masculino, com 38,2±8,2 anos, com amputação em diferentes níveis de membro inferior, unilateral, protetizados. Para a avaliação postural foi utilizado o Software de Avaliação Postural (SAPO), sendo as imagens avaliadas de acordo com o protocolo do software. Os dados foram analisados através da estatística descritiva e inferencial (teste t independente), com valor de significância de p≤0,05. RESULTADOS: As principais alterações observadas foram: retropé com um valgo aumentado, tornozelo fletido, cabeça inclinada para a direita e tronco em flexão. Quando comparada a postura de acordo com o tempo de amputação, se observou diferença estatisticamente significativa na assimetria horizontal da escápula em relação à T3 (p=0,004), sendo que sujeitos com tempo de amputação de até seis anos apresentaram a escápula esquerda mais alta que a direita (-5,28±8,16°) e os com mais de seis anos de amputação apresentaram a escápula direita mais alta que esquerda (19,42±11°). Na comparação entre níveis de amputação, se observou diferença estatisticamente significativa no ângulo do tornozelo (p=0,008), com os sujeitos com amputação abaixo do joelho apresentando maior flexão do tornozelo (81,97±1,72°) do que os com amputação ao nível do joelho e acima deste (87,30±2,65°). CONCLUSÕES: Os achados do presente estudo demonstram que todos os sujeitos avaliados apresentaram alguma alteração postural, porém, não se pode afirmar que a assimetria postural destes é devido à amputação.


AIMS: To evaluate the posture of subjects with lower limb amputee. METHODS: Ten subjects participated in the study, males, with 38,2±8,2 years, with unilateral lower limb amputation and prosthesis users. For the postural evaluation, the Postural Evaluation Software (SAPO) was used, and the images were evaluated according to the software protocol. Data were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics (independent t test), with a significance level of p≤0,05. RESULTS: The main alterations observed were: rearfoot valgus enlargement, flexed ankle, head tilted to the right and trunk in flexion. When compared the posture according to time of amputation, was observed a statistically significant difference in the horizontal asymmetry of scapula in relation to T3 (p=0,004), being that subjects with amputation time of up to six years presented the left scapula higher than the right one (-5,28±8,16°) and those with more than six years of amputation had the right upper right scapula (19,42±11°). In the comparison between amputation levels, there was a statistically significant difference in the ankle angle (p=0,008), with subjects with amputation below the knee presenting greater ankle flexion (81,97±1,72°) than those with amputation at the level of the knee and above this (87,30±2,65°). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of the present study demonstrate that all the evaluated subjects presented some postural alteration, however, it cannot be affirmed that the postural asymmetry of these is due to the amputation.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar a satisfação e o ajuste à prótese de indivíduos com amputação de membro inferior. MÉTODOS: Participaram 24 indivíduos com amputação de membro inferior com 46,1±17,5 anos e que utilizam prótese há 10,8±8,7 anos. Foi utilizada uma ficha para caracterização dos indivíduos e o questionário Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) para avaliar a satisfação e o ajuste à prótese. Os dados foram coletados em instituições que atendem pessoas amputadas nos estados do Rio Grande do Sul e Santa Catarina e analisados pela estatística descritiva e inferencial com nível de significância de 5%. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença significativa nos resultados do PEQ entre os indivíduos quando comparados em relação ao nível de amputação e ao tempo que utilizam a prótese. Em relação aos escores obtidos entre os grupos com amputação vascular e traumática, houve diferença significativa na subescala de saúde do membro residual, com maiores escores e consequente melhor saúde do membro residual nos indivíduos com amputação de causa vascular, além de melhores escores na escala de satisfação nestes indivíduos. CONCLUSÕES: Foi possível concluir que indivíduos com amputação de causa vascular são mais satisfeitos com sua prótese, com a maneira como andam e como as coisas estão desde a amputação e também possuem melhor saúde do membro residual em relação a indivíduos com amputação traumática. Porém, o nível e o tempo de amputação parecem não influenciar na satisfação e no ajuste à prótese.


AIMS: Evaluate satisfaction and adjustment to the prosthesis of individuals with lower limb amputation. METHODS: Participants were 24 patients with lower limb amputation with 46,1±17,5 years and using the prosthesis for 10,8±8,7 years. A card was used to characterize the individuals and the Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) to evaluate satisfaction and adjustment to the prosthesis. Data were collected from institutions that serving amputees in the states of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics at a 5% significance level. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in the results of the PEQ between individuals when compared to the level of amputation and time using the prosthesis. Regarding the scores between groups with vascular and traumatic amputation, was a significant difference in residual limb health subscale, with higher scores and consequently better health of the residual limb in amputees with vascular causes, besides better higher scores on the scale of satisfaction in these individuals. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that patients with a vascular cause of amputation are more satisfied with their prosthesis, with the way they walk and how things are from amputation and also have better health of the residual limb in relation to individuals with traumatic amputation. However, the level and time of amputation do not seem to influence the satisfaction and adjustment of the prosthesis.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVOS: Avaliar o equilíbrio, a mobilidade funcional e a qualidade de vida em idosos participantes e não participantes de um centro de convivência. MÉTODOS: Foram avaliados sujeitos com idade igual ou acima de 60 anos, participantes de um centro de convivência para idosos da cidade de Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, em Santa Catarina (Grupo de Participantes: GP). Como grupo controle, para comparação, foram incluídos idosos moradores da mesma comunidade, os quais não participavam de nenhum centro de convivência (Grupo de Não Participantes: GNP). Foram excluídos sujeitos com incapacidade de locomoção, doenças neurológicas que afetassem a marcha ou o equilíbrio e incapacidade para compreender os comandos gerais indispensáveis aos testes. A amostra foi não probabilística intencional. Para avaliação do equilíbrio foi aplicada a Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg e para mobilidade funcional os testes Timed Up and Go e de Alcance Funcional Anterior. A qualidade de vida foi avaliada pelo questionário SF-36. Os dados foram tratados pela estatística descritiva e inferencial, sendo considerados significativos valores com p≤0,05. RESULTADOS: Participaram 56 idosos, sendo 28 do GP e 28 do GNP. Por meio da Escala de Equilíbrio de Berg verificou-se melhor equilíbrio no GP (média 53,2±2,1 pontos) em comparação ao GNP (média 48,8±6,2 pontos) (p=0,001). No teste Timed Up and Go, o GP levou em média menos tempo para realizar o teste (9,5±1,5segundos) do que o GNP (13,1±5,1segundos) (p=0,001). Observou-se melhor qualidade de vida em todos os domínios do SF-36 no GP em relação ao GNP. CONCLUSÕES: Idosos que participavam de centro de convivência apresentaram melhor equilíbrio, mobilidade funcional e qualidade de vida do que idosos da mesma comunidade não participantes de centros de convivência.


AIMS: To evaluate balance, functional mobility and quality of life in elderly participants and non-participants of a senior citizen center. METHODS: Subjects aged 60 or over, participating in a senior citizen center in the city of Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, in Santa Catarina (Participating Group: PG) were evaluated. As a control group for comparison, elderly residents of the same community who did not participate in any senior center (Non-Participating Group: NPG) were included. Subjects with locomotion disabilities, neurological diseases that affected the gait or balance, and inability to understand the general commands indispensable to the tests were excluded. The sample was non-probabilistic intentional. To evaluate the balance, the Berg Balance Scale was applied, and for assess functional mobility we used the Timed Up and Go and the Anterior Functional Scope tests. Quality of life was assessed by the SF-36 questionnaire. The data were treated by descriptive and inferential statistics, considering p≤0.05 as significant. RESULTS: Fifty-six elderly participated, being 28 of PG and 28 of NPG. By means of the Berg Balance Scale, we found a better balance in PG (mean 53.2±2.1 points) compared to NPG (mean 48.8±6.2 points) (p=0.001). In the Timed Up and Go test, PG spent in average less time to perform the test (9.5±1.5 seconds) than NPG (13.1±5.1 seconds) (p=0.001). We observed a better quality of life in all domains of SF-36 in PG when compared to NPG (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Elderly people who participated in a senior citizen center presented better balance, functional mobility and quality of life than elderly people from the same community who did not participate in senior centers.
