RESUMO

Introducción: La debilidad muscular en personas con enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) ha sido frecuentemente reconocida como un síntoma inespecífico. En otras patologías neurológicas, la debilidad de las extremidades inferiores, específicamente la debilidad de los cuádriceps, es el factor que causa mayor incapacidad para caminar. Pocas investigaciones han evaluado la relación entre la fuerza muscular de los miembros inferiores, utilizando herramientas objetivas en personas con EP y el desempeño de la marcha. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la correlación entre la fuerza muscular de los miembros inferiores, utilizando un dinamómetro isocinético, y los parámetros espaciotemporales de la marcha en la EP, en comparación con controles sanos emparejados por edad y sexo. Sujetos y métodos: El estudio se llevó a cabo con siete personas con EP –Hoehn y Yahr (HY) entre II y III– y siete controles sanos. Se realizaron pruebas isocinéticas de rodilla y tobillo a 60 y 120°/s y la prueba de marcha de 10 metros, a velocidad de marcha cómoda y rápida, en todos los sujetos reclutados. Resultados: Se observaron diferencias significativas en las medidas relacionadas con la fuerza de las extremidades inferiores y en los parámetros de la marcha entre las personas con EP y los controles. Los parámetros de la marcha mostraron excelentes correlaciones (rho = 0,7) para ambas extremidades inferiores: trabajo de flexión plantar de tobillo/desgaste corporal a 180°/s con número de pasos (indirecto) y zancada (directa) a ambas velocidades, y entre pico de torsión de flexión plantar de tobillo/desgaste corporal a 180°/s con número de pasos (indirecto) y zancada (directa) a velocidad máxima; y entre trabajo de extensión de rodilla/desgaste corporal a 60°/s con zancada (directa) a velocidad autoseleccionada. Conclusiones: La fuerza muscular de las extremidades inferiores de las personas con EP (estadios de HY II-III) se...(AU)


Introduction: Muscle weakness in persons with Parkinson disease (PD) has been frequently recognized as a nonspecific symptom. In other neurological conditions, lower limb weakness, specifically quadriceps weakness, is the factor that causes greater gait disability. Little research has evaluated the relationship between lower limb muscle strength, using objective tools, in PD persons and gait performance. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between lower limb muscle strength, using an isokinetic dynamometer, and the spatiotemporal gait parameters in PD, compared with age- and sex- matched healthy controls. Subjects and methods: The study was conducted with 7 persons with PD –Hoehn and Yahr (HY) between II-III– and 7 healthy controls. Isokinetic knee and ankle tests at 60 and 120°/s and the 10-meter walking test at comfortable and fast walking speed, were performed on all recruited subjects. Results: Significant differences in lower limb strength-related measures and gait parameters were observed between persons with PD and controls. Gait parameters showed excellent correlations (rho ≥ 0.7) for both lower limb: ankle plantar flexion work/body wearing at 180°/s with number of steps (indirect) and stride (direct) at both speeds, and between the ankle plantar flexion peak torque/ body wearing at 180°/s with number of steps (indirect) and stride (direct) at maximum speed; and between knee extension work/body wearing at 60°/s) with stride (direct) at self-selected speed. Conclusions: Persons with PD (HY II-III stages) lower limb muscle strength correlates excellently with gait pattern, showing lower isokinetic strength than healthy subjects of the same age and sex. This protocol showed safety to be performed in a larger sample.(AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Functional movement disorder (FMD), a type of functional neurological disorder, is a common reason for consultation with the neurology department. The efficacy of physiotherapy for motor rehabilitation of these patients has been widely studied. The aim of this review is to analyse the available evidence on the effects of physiotherapy on motor symptoms, activity (gait, mobility, balance), perceived health, quality of life, and the cognitive/emotional state of patients with FMD. METHODS: This review follows the PRISMA recommendations. Four electronic databases were searched for relevant articles. Our review included randomised controlled trials investigating the effects of a specialised physiotherapy intervention alone or in combination with other therapies as part of a multidisciplinary approach, with results compared against standard physiotherapy. RESULTS: We reviewed 4 studies, including a total of 188 patients. We gathered data on the study population, outcome measures, protocols, and results. According to the Oxford quality scoring system, 3 studies had moderate methodological quality (3-4/5) and the remaining study presented poor methodological quality (< 3). CONCLUSIONS: Physiotherapy improves motor symptoms, activity, perceived health, and quality of life in patients with FMD.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: People diagnosed with neurological pathology may experience gait disorders that affect their quality of life. In recent years, research has been carried out on a variety of exoskeletons in this population. However, the satisfaction perceived by the users of these devices is not known. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the satisfaction perceived by users with neurological pathology (patients and professionals) after the use of overground exoskeletons. METHODS: A systematic search of five electronic databases was conducted. In order to be included in this review for further analysis, the studies had to meet the following criteria: [1] the study population was people diagnosed with neurological pathology; [2] the exoskeletons had to be overground and attachable to the lower limbs; and [3]: the studies were to include measures assessing either patient or therapist satisfaction with the exoskeletons. RESULTS: Twenty-three articles were selected, of which nineteen were considered clinical trials. Participants diagnosed with stroke (n = 165), spinal cord injury (SCI) (n = 102) and multiple sclerosis (MS) (n = 68). Fourteen different overground exoskeleton models were analysed. Fourteen different methods of assessing patient satisfaction with the devices were found, and three ways to evaluate it in therapists. CONCLUSION: Users' satisfaction with gait overground exoskeletons in stroke, SCI and MS seems to show positive results in safety, efficacy and comfort of the devices. However, the worst rated aspects and therefore those that should be optimized from the users' point of view are ease of adjustment, size and weight, and ease of use.

RESUMO

El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar en 36 corredores aficionados, la fuerza y las presiones del pie sobre tres superficies comúnmente empleadas para el entrenamiento de la carrera en el sitio (césped artificial, suelo técnico de caucho y trampolín plano). Los valores de fuerza y presión se registraron mediante plantillas instrumentadas (Gebiomized® Munster, Germany). Se obtuvieron los siguientes parámetros: Fuerza máxima (N) y picos de presión (N/cm2) en 6 zonas específicas del pie. Según los resultados, la fuerza máxima ejercida por el pie dominante en césped artificial (657 N) y en suelo técnico de caucho (692,5 N) fue significativamente superior al registrado sobre el trampolín (262 N). Respecto a la presión, la mayor parte de la presión ejercida por el pie en superficies duras (césped artificial y suelo técnico de caucho), se observó en las cabezas de los metatarsianos, mientras que en el trampolín la presión se repartió entre estas y el calcáneo. (AU)


The objective of this study is to evaluate the Maximum Force and Peak Pressure of the foot on three surfaces commonly used for running in place training (artificial turf, rubber floor and flat trampoline). Force and pressure were recorded in 36 amateur runners using instrumented insoles (Gebiomized® Munster, Germany). The following parameters were obtained: Maximum Force (N) and Peak Pressure (N/cm2) in 6 specific areas of the foot. According to the results, the maximum force exerted by the dominant foot on artificial turf (657 N) and rubber floor (692.5 N) was significantly higher than the recorded on the trampoline (262 N). Regarding the pressure, most of the pressure exerted by the foot on hard surfaces (artificial turf and technical floor), was observed in the heads of the metatarsals, while in the trampoline the pressure was distributed in the heads of the metatarsals and the calcaneus.

RESUMO

Los objetivos del presente estudio son evaluar la fiabililidad test-retest e inter-observador del software Kinovea® para la obtención de los principales parámetros espaciotemporales de la marcha, así como, estudiar la validez de criterio respecto a un sistema tridimensional de análisis del movimiento. Los resultados obtenidos son significativamente estadísticos (p < 0,05) en todos los parámetros estudiados. La fiabilidad test-retest muestra una correlación excelente en los parámetros de longitud de paso, longitud de zancada, tiempo de paso y tiempo de zancada (CCI > 0,90), y buena en la velocidad (CCI = 0,76-0,90). La fiabilidad inter-observador es excelente (CCI > 0,90) en todos los parámetros espaciotemporales estudiados en ambos observadores. La validez de criterio entre Kinovea® y VICON Motion System® es excelente para los parámetros estudiados (r > 0,80) en ambos evaluadores. Estos hallazgos respaldan el empleo de Kinovea® como una herramienta accesible y de fácil manejo, con la que obtener datos objetivos de la marcha. (AU)


The aims of this study are to evaluate test-retest ant inter-rater reliability of the software Kinovea® to obtain the spatiotemporal gait parameters, as well as to study the criterion validity with respect to a three-dimensional motion capture system. The results obtained are statically significant (p < 0.05) in all the parameters studied. The test-retest reliability shows an excellent correlation in the parameters of step length, stride length, step time and stride time (ICC > 0.90), and good in speed (ICC = 0.76-0.90). The inter-rater evaluation is excellent (ICC > 0.90) in all the spatiotemporal parameters studied in both raters. The criterion validity between Kinovea® and VICON Motion System® is excellent for the parameters studied (r > 0.80) in both raters. These findings support the use of Kinovea® as an accessible and easy-to-use tool with which to obtain objective gait data. (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Motor Imagery techniques may be used as a complement to the recovery of motor sequelae after a stroke, as during the evocation of a movement the activation of neuronal circuits involved in the actual execution of the movement occurs. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A simple-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 38 patients were randomly assigned to a study group. Both groups performed, for four weeks, five weekly sessions of neurorehabilitation and three weekly sessions of experimental or control intervention, respectively.The experimental group training the recognition of laterality, while the control group the recognition of body parts. Participants were evaluated pre and post intervention with posturography parameters -Sway area (AREA), Sway path length (LONG), difference in weigthload between lower limbs (DIFLOAD)-, the Berg Balance scale (BBS), the Barthel Index (BI), the Time Up and Go Test (TUG), the Functional Ambulation Categories (FAC), and the quality-of-life scale for stroke (ECVI-38). RESULTS: After performing the intragroup analysis, statistical significance was obtained for AREA (p < 0.001), LONG (p = 0.04), DIFLOAD (p = 0.02), BBS (p < 0.001), BI (p < 0.001), FAC (p < 0.001), and ECVI-38 (p < 0.001) in the experimental group; and for DIFLOAD (p = 0.01), BBS (p = 0.001), BI (p = 0.001), TUG (p = 0.04), FAC (p = 0.03), and ECVI-38 (p = 0.003) in the control group. In the intergroup analysis, statistical significance was obtained for AREA (p = 0.03), BBS (p = 0.03), FAC (p = 0.02) and ECVI-38 (p = 0.002) at postintervention time. CONCLUSIONS: Combined use of physical rehabilitation and recognition of laterality through implicit motor imagery tasks, improves balance and functions related to postural control in subacute stroke patients.

RESUMO

Introducción: La enfermedad de Parkinson es un proceso neurodegenerativo progresivo e irreversible caracterizado por temblor de reposo, bradicinesia, rigidez y alteraciones del control postural, del equilibrio y de la marcha. El vendaje neuromuscular tiene un efecto de estimulación somatosensorial, con beneficios en el control postural. Método: Estudio piloto con grupo de intervención fisioterapia y grupo experimental (se añade el vendaje neuromuscular) en gastrocnemios y paravertebrales lumbares. Variables: escala de Berg, escala de Tinetti (subescala marcha), test 10m, TUG test, PDQ-39 y registro electromiográfico de gastrocnemios. Se realizaron 3 mediciones: T0 (basal), T1 (2 días postintervención) y T2 (a la semana postintervención); el PDQ-39 se administró en T0 y al mes postintervención. Resultados: Trece voluntarios (estadio III Hoehn y Yahr) fueron seleccionados tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión (9 mujeres y 4 varones). N=7 grupo experimental y N=6 grupo fisioterapia. El contraste intra-grupos mostró mejoras significativas a favor del grupo experimental en la escala de Berg (T1 y T2), la prueba de 10m (T2) y en la menor actividad muscular media de gastrocnemios (T1). El contraste inter-grupos evidenció, únicamente, diferencias en el registro electromiográfico de la contracción muscular del miembro inferior derecho, tras la aplicación del vendaje neuromuscular, en T1. Conclusiones: La aplicación del vendaje neuromuscular en los erectores del raquis lumbar y los gastrocnemios de manera bilateral, podría mejorar la marcha y el equilibrio, en sujetos con enfermedad de Parkinson en el estadio III de Hoehn y Yahr, pero su efecto no es superior al tratamiento fisioterápico convencional.(AU)


Introduction: Parkinson's disease is a progressive and irreversible neurodegenerative process characterized by tremor at rest, bradykinesia, stiffness, disorders in postural control, balance and gait. Kinesiology tape has a somatosensory stimulating effect, with benefits in postural control. Method: A pilot study with a Physiotherapy Intervention Group and an Experimental Group (kinesiology tape was added) in gastrocnemius and lumbar spinal erectors. Outcome assessments were Berg scale, Tinetti scale (walking subscale), 10m test, TUG test, PDQ-39 and gastrocnemius electromyographic record. Three measurements were made: T0 (baseline), T1 (two days post-intervention) and T2 (one week post-intervention); PDQ-39 was administered at T0 and one month after the intervention. Results: Thirteen participants (stage III Hoehn and Yahr) were selected after applying the inclusion criteria (nine women and four men). N=7 Experimental Group and N=6 Physiotherapy Group. The intra-group contrast showed significant improvements in favor of the Experimental Group in Berg scale (T1 and T2), 10m test (T2) and in lower mean gastrocnemius muscle activity (T1). The inter-group contrast only evidenced differences in electromyographic recording of the muscle contraction of the right lower limb, after the application of kinesiology tape, in T1. Conclusions: The application of kinesiology tape in the lumbar spinal erectors and gastrocnemius bilaterally could improve gait and balance, in subjects with Parkinson's disease in Hoehn and Yahr stage III, but its effect is not superior to conventional physiotherapy treatment.(AU)

The inter-group contrast only evidenced differences in electromyographic recording of the muscle contraction of the right lower limb, after the application of kinesiology tape, in T1. CONCLUSIONS: The application of kinesiology tape in the lumbar spinal erectors and gastrocnemius bilaterally could improve gait and balance, in subjects with Parkinson's disease in Hoehn and Yahr stage III, but its effect is not superior to conventional physiotherapy treatment.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Tension-type headache is the most common primary headache, with a high prevalence and a considerable socioeconomic impact. Manual physical therapy techniques are widely used in the clinical field to treat the symptoms associated with tension-type headache. This systematic review aims to determine the effectiveness of manual and non-invasive therapies in the treatment of patients with tension-type headache. DEVELOPMENT: We conducted a systematic review of randomised controlled trials in the following databases: Brain, PubMed, Web of Science, PEDro, Scopus, CINAHL, and Science Direct. Ten randomised controlled trials were included for analysis. According to these studies, manual therapy improves symptoms, increasing patients' well-being and improving the outcome measures analysed. CONCLUSIONS: Manual therapy has positive effects on pain intensity, pain frequency, disability, overall impact, quality of life, and craniocervical range of motion in adults with tension-type headache. None of the techniques was found to be superior to the others; combining different techniques seems to be the most effective approach.

RESUMO

Introducción: La cefalea tensional es la cefalea primaria más usual, con una prevalencia elevada y unas consecuencias socioeconómicas de gran impacto. Las técnicas de terapia manual, desde la fisioterapia, son muy utilizadas en el abordaje del conjunto de síntomas que puede provocar. El propósito fue realizar una revisión sistemática sobre la efectividad de las terapias manuales y no invasivas en el tratamiento de pacientes que presentan cefalea tensional en sus actuales formas.DesarrolloSe llevó a cabo una revisión sistemática de la literatura en busca de ensayos controlados y aleatorizados. Se emplearon las siguientes bases de datos: Brain, PubMed, Web of Science, PEDro, Scopus, CINHAL y Science Direct. Se analizaron 10 estudios, todos ellos ensayos controlados y aleatorizados. Según los estudios individuales, la intervención logra mejorar la clínica, aportando bienestar al paciente y mejorando las distintas medidas de resultado analizadas.ConclusionesLa terapia manual logra efectos positivos sobre la intensidad y la frecuencia del dolor, la discapacidad, el impacto, la calidad de vida y el rango de movimiento craneocervical en adultos con cefalea tensional. No se encuentra superioridad entre una técnica con respecto a otra, siendo más efectivo el tratamiento combinado de estas. (AU)

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Approximately, half of the stroke patients suffered a fall during the first year after the injury, affecting its functionality. Gait evaluation scales could evaluate to predict the risk of falls. OBJECTIVE: To study the ability of the Wisconsin Gait Scale (WGS) to predict the risk of falls in stroke subjects. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Retrospective observational study that included stroke patients between May 2010 and October 2016. Data from the WGS and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) were collected after hospitalization (acute phase), at 3 months (subacute phase) and at 6 and 12 months (chronic phases). BBS was used as the outcome variable to determine the ability of the WGS to predict the risk of falls. The calculation of the predictive validity was carried out using the ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristics) curves and the analysis of the area under the curve (AUC, area under the curve). RESULTS: Data were collected from 61 patients who met the inclusion criteria (after admission: 61; 3 months: 61; 6 months: 58; 12 months: 42). In all measurements, the AUC was greater than 0.9, so the WGS distinguishes stroke patients with moderate risk of falling from those with low risk. CONCLUSIONS: The WGS scale is a valid instrument to predict the risk of falls in patients with a criterion in relation to the cut-off points established in the BBS.

RESUMO

Running is one of the most popular sport practices in the world. However, to our knowledge, none of the previous research about the characteristics of outdoor running makes a distinction between the different modalities of runners. Sixty-five healthy runners classified in sprinters, middle distance and long-distance runners performed five series of 100 metres on the synthetic outdoor track at competition pace. Muscle activity of lower limb muscles at initial contact and toe-off, involving the gluteus medius (GMED), gluteus maximus (GMAX), biceps femoris (BF), rectus femoris (RF), tiabilis anterior (TA) and medial gastrocnemius (MGAS), and spatiotemporal parameters were analysed. Sprinters showed high percentages of muscle activity at initial contact, in particular, the TA activity was the highest. The RF activity was significantly the lowest activity registered. At toe-off, sprinters showed the highest activity in all muscles analysed. Middle-distance runners had the highest activity of GMAX, BF and MGAS during the initial contact. In long-distance runners, the GMED and RF activity during the initial contact is highlighted, showing the highest activity of this phase. Different patterns of lower limb muscle activity and spatiotemporal parameters exist depending on the modality of the runner.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The partial body weight supported treadmill training is a common therapeutic strategy in rehabilitation of people with spinal cord injuries. AIM: To analyze its effects on gait, balance and muscle strength in people with incomplete spinal cord injury compared to conventional treatment or overground gait training. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A compilation of clinical trials from 2007 to 2019 was carried out. We included articles that evaluate the effects of body weight supported treadmill training on gait, balance and muscle strength in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury. RESULTS: A total of six articles were analyzed. The walking cadence, speed and resistance improved in the participants that received the intervention compared to those that were treated with conventional training. The functionality, balance and strength improved in most studies, but there were not differences between them. CONCLUSIONS: Body weight supported treadmill training improves the spatiotemporal parameters of walking and resistance in subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury, but in most variables analyzed (balance, functionality and strength) the changes are not superior to those observed after conventional training.


TITLE: Entrenamiento en cinta rodante con soporte parcial del peso corporal en pacientes con lesión medular incompleta: revisión sistemática.Introducción. El entrenamiento de la marcha sobre pasarela rodante con soporte parcial del peso corporal es una estrategia terapéutica frecuente en la rehabilitación de personas con lesión medular. Objetivo. Analizar los efectos de esta intervención en la marcha, el equilibrio y la fuerza muscular en personas con lesión medular incompleta en comparación con un tratamiento de fisioterapia convencional o con un entrenamiento de la marcha sobre suelo. Pacientes y métodos. Se realizó una recopilación de ensayos clínicos desde 2007 hasta 2019. Se incluyeron trabajos que evaluasen el entrenamiento de la marcha con soporte parcial del peso corporal en cinta rodante en pacientes con lesión medular incompleta y que analizasen la marcha, el equilibrio y la fuerza muscular. Resultados. Se analizaron seis artículos. Según los resultados de los estudios incluidos, la cadencia, la velocidad y la resistencia de marcha mejoraron en los participantes que recibieron entrenamiento sobre pasarela rodante con soporte parcial del peso corporal respecto al grupo de control. Las variables de funcionalidad, equilibrio y fuerza mejoraron en ambos los grupos de intervención. Conclusiones. El entrenamiento de la marcha con soporte parcial del peso corporal sobre cinta rodante mejora los parámetros espaciotemporales de la marcha y la resistencia de los pacientes con lesión medular incompleta, pero, en la mayoría de las variables analizadas, los cambios no son superiores a los observados tras un entrenamiento convencional.

RESUMO

INTRODUCCIÓN: El patrón de la marcha se ve alterado en los sujetos con amputación de la extremidad inferior. Para su evaluación es importante el uso de escalas de observación de la marcha con una buena validez de contenido. OBJETIVOS: Diseñar una escala de observación de la marcha atendiendo a las principales alteraciones de la marcha de los sujetos con amputación y analizar su validez de contenido. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Para obtener una versión de la escala se conformó un comité de expertos. El mismo comité se ocupó de la evaluación de la escala. Se calculó el índice de validez de contenido (IVC), tanto para cada ítem como para la escala global. RESULTADOS: Se seleccionaron las principales alteraciones cinemáticas y espaciotemporales para el desarrollo de los ítems. La escala se compone de 2secciones y 25 ítems, con una puntuación máxima de 35 puntos. Se obtuvo una puntuación global IVC de 0,90, y un índice de validez para la mayoría de los ítems con valores superiores a 0,78. CONCLUSIÓN: La Escala observacional de la marcha del sujeto con amputación de la extremidad inferior ha mostrado una validez de contenido excelente de acuerdo con el IVC obtenido. Futuros estudios deben evaluar su fiabilidad y validez de constructo


INTRODUCTION: Gait pattern is altered in persons with lower extremity amputation. To assess gait pattern, it is important to use observational gait scales with a good content validity. OBJECTIVES: To design an observational gait scale and to analyze its content validity. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An expert committee was formed to obtain a version of the scale. The same committee was responsible for evaluating the scale. The content validity index (CVI) was calculated, both for each item and for the global scale. RESULTS: The main kinematic and spatiotemporal alterations were selected to design the items. The scale consists of 2sections and 25 items, with a maximum score of 35 points. An overall CVI score of 0.90 was obtained, and an index of validity for most items with values higher than 0.78. CONCLUSION: The Observational gait scale for persons with amputation of the lower extremity showed excellent content validity according to the CVI obtained. Future studies should evaluate its reliability and construct validity

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of top-down and bottom-up approaches in the rehabilitation of unilateral spatial neglect in stroke patients. METHODOLOGY: We carried out a systematic review of randomized controlled trials from January of 2013 to March of 2017. The following databases were searched: Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, Pubmed and CINHAL. The methodological quality, level of scientific evidence and the strength of recommendation were evaluated. RESULTS: We included 13 studies (294 subjects): nine studies (188 patients) carried out therapies with a bottom-up approach such us eye patching, virtual reality, optokinetic stimulation, transcranial magnetic stimulation and prism adaption; three studies (94 patients) evaluated therapies with a top-down approach such us visual scanning, sensory feedback and mental practice; one study incorporated both approaches. Nine of these studies showed improvements in spatial neglect scales; five of these used bottom-up approaches, another three used top-down approaches and the remaining study combined both approaches. Disability was evaluated by nine studies, and only three reported improvements. Three studies reported significant improvements in motor function in the intervention groups. CONCLUSIONS: Top-down and bottom-up approaches could improve unilateral spatial neglect, disability and motor function in patients with stroke.
