    Brazilian-Portuguese translation and cross cultural adaptation of the activities-specific balance confidence (ABC) scale
    (2013) MARQUES, Amelia P.; MENDES, Yuri C.; TADDEI, Ulisses; PEREIRA, Carlos A. B.; ASSUMPCAO, Ana
    Background: The Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale was developed to quantify the self-perceived level of confidence in performing specific activities without losing balance or becoming unsteady. The ABC scale has been adopted in clinical practice and in research, although cross-cultural differences may impose difficulties in its use. Objective: To translate, cross-culturally adapt and verify the intra-and inter-rater reliability of the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the ABC scale and describe the self-perceived balance confidence of elderly Brazilian people. Method: The ABC scale was translated and culturally adapted. To verify the intra-and inter-rater reliability, 40 elderly individuals with ages ranging from 60 to 88 years were interviewed. The scale was administered by two raters on the same day and readministered after seven days by rater 1. To test the reliability, we used the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: Six items from the ABC scale were considered culturally, semantically or regionally inappropriate and were modified. The intra-rater reproducibility was excellent (ICC= 0.94), and the inter-rater reproducibility was very good (ICC= 0.80). The self-perception of balance in specific activities of the elderly was considered very good, with an average of 81.7 and scores ranging from 61.2 to 96.7. Conclusion: The ABC scale was translated and culturally adapted for the Brazilian population and presents good intra-and inter-rater reliability. The self-perceived balance confidence in elderly Brazilian people evaluated with the ABC scale is moderate.

    Low back pain prevalence in Sao Paulo, Brazil: A cross-sectional study
    (2021) GONZALEZ, Gabrielle Z.; SILVA, Tatiane da; AVANZI, Marina A.; MACEDO, Gabriel T.; ALVES, Shirley S.; INDINI, Luciana S.; EGEA, Luzinete M. P.; MARQUES, Amelia P.; PASTRE, Carlos M.; COSTA, Luciola da C. M.; COSTA, Leonardo O. P.
    Background: Low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and the burden of LBP is expected to increase in coming decades, particularly in middle-income countries. There is a lack of large and high-quality studies investigating the prevalence of LBP in Brazil. Objective: To estimate the point, one-year, and lifetime prevalence of non-specific LBP in adults from the city of Sao Paulo, Brazil. Methods: This community-based, cross-sectional study recruited 3000 participants in flow point locations randomly selected from census sectors of Sao Paulo. Interviews and self-administered questionnaires were used to estimate point prevalence, one-year prevalence, and lifetime prevalence of LBP. Results: The estimate of point prevalence was 9.8% (95% CI: 8.8, 11.0), one-year prevalence was 48.1% (95% CI: 46.3, 49.9), and lifetime prevalence was 62.6% (95% CI: 60.8, 64.3). One-year and lifetime prevalence were higher in females, obese people, people insufficiently active and sedentary, current smokers, people who are exposed to repetitive movements, crouched or kneeling position, people dissatisfied with their job, people a little bit or very stressed, a little bit or very anxious, and a little bit depressed, and people with good and fair or poor general health. Lifetime prevalence was also higher in people exposed to standing positions and exposure to carrying weight. Conclusions: The high point, one-year, and lifetime prevalence of LBP in Brazil indicates that there is a need for coordinated efforts from government, the private sector, universities, health workers, and civil society to deliver appropriate management of LBP in middle-income countries.

    Inter- and intra-rater reliability of computerized photogrammetry and universal goniometer in the measurement of hip flexion and abduction
    (2017) MARQUES, Amélia Pasqual; MARCOLAN, Juliana Naomi Oshima; PRADO, Juliana Nucci Nogueira; BURKE, Thomaz Nogueira; FERREIRA, Elizabeth Alves Gonçalves
    ABSTRACT The universal goniometer (UG) is the most frequently used tool for measuring range of motion (ROM), with demonstrated reliability. Computerized photogrammetry (CP) is widely used for postural assessment, but its role in the measurement of ROM of hip flexion and abduction has not yet been fully explored. This study aimed to test inter- and intra-rater reliability for measuring ROM of hip flexion and abduction using UG and CP, as well as the reliability between the instruments. Our sample consisted of 40 healthy volunteers (aged from 18 to 28 years). Measurements of ROM were conducted by two independent raters, 15 minutes apart, using UG and CP to assess inter-rater reliability. The procedures were repeated one week later by the first rater (intra-rater reliability). Using UG, inter-rater reliability was excellent for flexion and abduction (ICC=0.92 and 0.91, respectively); using CP, it was rated as very good (ICC=0.77 and 0.80, respectively). Intra-rater reliability using UG was excellent for flexion and abduction (ICC=0.95 and 0.92), and very good using CP (ICC= 0.81 and 0.89). The correlation between the instruments was excellent for flexion and very good for abduction (r=0.92 and r=0.82). Future investigations should seek a more diversified sample and symptomatic patients. Inter- and intra-rater reliability is high when measuring range of motion of hip flexion and abduction using both UG and CP, and the correlation between instruments is excellent for flexion and very good for abduction, meaning that both are valid.

    Exercícios de alongamento muscular e aeróbico no tratamento da fibromialgia: estudo piloto
    (2012) MATSUTANI, Luciana Akemi; ASSUMPÇÃO, Ana; MARQUES, Amélia Pasqual
    INTRODUCTION: The physical exercises have been beneficial for the control of the fibromyalgia (FM) symptoms. OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of stretching exercises to aerobic exercises on pain, number of tender points, sleep, anxiety and depression of patients with FM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nineteen patients with diagnosis of FM according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria were divided into two groups: the stretching group, with 12 patients, performed a program composed by 45 minutes eight sessions of stretching exercises once a week, and the aerobic group, with seven patients, carried out walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes. Both groups received orientation to exercise at home on the other days. Pain intensity, tenderness threshold at the tender points, sleep, anxiety and depression were evaluated by, respectively, visual analogic scale, dolorimeter, Post Sleep Inventory (PSI), Trait-State Anxiety Inventory (IDATE) and Beck Depression Scale (BDS). RESULTS: The data show that the clinical improvement was higher in the stretching group in relation to pain (25%), number of tender points (15%), sleep (38%) and depression (22%), compared to aerobic group (clinical improvement in pain was 2% and in sleep, 4%; the number of tender points and depression became worse, respectively 3% and 18%). The anxiety clinical improvement was more important in the aerobic group (8% in the trait anxiety and 10% in the state anxiety) compared to stretching group (the trait anxiety become worse at 3% and the state anxiety clinical improvement was 2%). CONCLUSION: This study suggests that the stretching exercises are more effective than the aerobic exercises on pain, number of tender points, sleep and depression in FM. On the other hand, the aerobic exercises seem to produce a more important effect on anxiety reduction compared to stretching exercises.

    Postural control in individuals with and without non-specific chronic low back pain: a preliminary case-control study
    (2014) CAFFARO, Rene Rogieri; FRANCA, Fabio Jorge Renovato; BURKE, Thomaz Nogueira; MAGALHAES, Mauricio Oliveira; RAMOS, Luiz Armando Vidal; MARQUES, Amelia Pasqual
    A preliminary case-control study. To assess postural control in individuals with and without non-specific chronic low back pain (cLBP) during quiet standing. cLBP affects 12-33 % of the adult population. Reasons for pain chronicity are yet poorly known. Change in postural control may be a risk factor for cLBP, although available studies are not conclusive. Sample consisted of 21 individuals with cLBP and 23 controls without cLBP. Balance was assessed using a force plate (Balance Master(A (R)), NeuroCom) by the modified clinical test of sensory interaction and balance, pain severity by the visual analogue scale, quality of life with the SF-36 Questionnaire, and functional disability with the Roland-Morris Questionnaire. Groups were homogeneous for age, weight, height and body mass index. Relative to controls, participants in the cLBP group had deficits in the postural control, with greater postural sway in the quiet standing condition with closed eyes closed on unstable surfaces (p < 0.05) for the following parameters: total COP oscillation [cLBP 1,432.82 (73.27) vs CG 1,187.77 (60.30)], root mean square sagittal plane [cLBP 1.21 (0.06) vs CG 1.04 (0.04)], COP area [cLBP 24.27 (2.47) vs CG 16.45 (1.79)] and mean speed of oscillation [cLBP 12.97 (0.84) vs CG 10.55 (0.70)]. Postural control, as evidenced by increased oscillation of COP, is impaired in individuals with cLBP relative to controls. Differences are magnified by visual deprivation and unstable surface conditions.

    The association between symptom severity and physical activity participation in people seeking care for acute low back pain
    (2015) GOMES, Juliana Leme; KINGMA, M.; KAMPER, S. J.; MAHER, C. G.; FERREIRA, P. H.; MARQUES, A. P.; FERREIRA, M. L.
    To investigate the association between symptom severity and physical activity participation in people with acute non-specific low back pain (LBP). The sample included a total of 999 patients who presented to primary care with an acute episode of low back pain. Symptom severity, in terms of activity limitation and severity of pain; and physical activity participation before (habitual) and after pain onset were assessed using self-report questionnaires. All participants were interviewed within 14 days of pain onset. At interview most of the participants (87.5 %) reported having moderate to extreme activity limitation due to back pain. There was a significant decrease in physical activity participation after pain onset (mean difference: -176 min, 95 % CI 327-400; p < 0.0001) but no association between habitual or change in physical activity participation and symptom severity was observed (p > 0.21). Pain onset causes a significant and immediate decrease in physical activity participation, but this change does not seem to be associated with symptom severity.

    Overview of physical therapy graduation courses in Brazil: current scenario
    (2017) GÓES, Angela Baroni de; ARAÚJO, Francisca Rêgo Oliveira de; MARQUES, Amélia Pasqual; SCHMITT, Ana Carolina Basso
    Abstract Introduction: After the regulation of Physical Therapy (PT) in 1969, there were only six undergraduate courses in Brazil. In the 90s, higher education underwent major expansion in all professions and the same occurred to PT, with consequent increase in the number of professionals in the labor market and privatization of education. Objective: To describe the current situation of PT courses in Brazil offered by Higher Education Institutions (IES). Methods: The data for the region, academic organization, situation, period, school system, administrative category, vacancies, course hours and duration were obtained from the website of the Ministry of Education (MEC) and refer to the year of 2013. The descriptive analyzes of central tendency, dispersion and percentage were performed in Stata 9®. Results: From the total of 550 IES registered in the MEC, 281 (51%) were in the Southeast. Regarding the academic organization, 341 (62%) corresponded to universities and 483 (87.9%) of the IES were private. Of the courses, 521 (94.7%) are active, the predominant school system was the semiannual (91.5%) and 438 were part-time. The average vacancies authorized by the IES were 129 ± 102, with at least 44,900 vacancies available in the country. Of the courses, 75% had 4,000 hours of duration with the minimum of seven semesters and a maximum of fourteen. Conclusion: The data show a higher offer of PT courses in the private sector compared to the public. There was a progressive concentration of courses and vacancies in the Southeast, especially in São Paulo.

    Effectiveness of graded activity versus physiotherapy in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain: midterm follow up results of a randomized controlled trial
    (2018) MAGALHAES, Mauricio Oliveira; COMACHIO, Josielli; FERREIRA, Paulo Henrique; PAPPAS, Evangelos; MARQUES, Amelia Pasqual
    Background: Low back pain (LBP) is a major health and economic problem worldwide. Graded activity and physiotherapy are commonly used interventions for nonspecific low back pain. However, there is currently little evidence to support the use of one intervention over the other in the medium-term. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of graded activity exercises to physiotherapy-based exercises at mid-term (three and six months' post intervention) in patients with chronic nonspecific LBP. Methods: Sixty-six patients were randomly allocated to two groups: graded activity group (n = 33) and physiotherapy group (n = 33). These patients received individual sessions twice a week for six weeks. Follow-up measurements were taken at three and six months. The main outcome measurements were intensity pain (Pain Numerical Rating Scale) and disability (Rolland Morris Disability Questionnaire). Results: No significant differences between groups after three and six month-follow ups were observed. Both groups showed similar outcomes for pain intensity at three months [between group differences: -0.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] = -1.5 to 1.2)] and six months [0.1 (95% CI = -1.1 to 1.5)], disability at three months was [-0.6 (95% CI = -3.4 to 2.2)] and six months [0.0 (95% CI = -2.9 to 3.0)]. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that graded activity and physiotherapy have similar effects in the medium-term for patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain.

    Equilíbrio, controle postural e força muscular em idosas osteoporóticas com e sem quedas
    (2012) MENESES, Sarah Rubia Ferreira de; BURKE, Thomaz Nogueira; MARQUES, Amélia Pasqual
    Falls are one of the biggest public health problems in the elderly population, worsening when related to the presence of osteoporosis. Among the various risk factors are highlighted decreased balance, muscle strength and postural control. This study aim is to compare the balance, postural control and muscle strength in osteoporotic elderly women with and without falls reported in the last year. We evaluated 45 women between 65 and 85 years, divided into two groups, based on reports of falls in the 12 months prior to assessment: group with falls (n=21) and group without falls (n=24). Balance was assessed using the Berg balance scale; postural control by the modified clinical test of sensory interaction on balance (mCTSIB); performed by equipment Balance Master®, and muscle strength of knee flexors and extensors and ankle extensor by the dynamometer® EMG System of Brazil. We considered the level of significance α=0.05. There were significant differences in balance (p<0.01) and the speed of oscillation of the center of pressure (CP) during the test conditions mCTSIB eyes closed surface (p=0.05) and unstable eyes open (p<0.01), with higher values for the group with falls. The groups were similar to muscle strength (p>0.05). Our results indicate that osteoporotic elderly women with a history of falls in the last 12 months have poor balance and postural control in elderly osteoporotic compared to those without falls.
