- Avaliação interdisciplinar da diadococinesia: um estudo piloto(2017) ALBUQUERQUE, Jessica Talita da Cruz; MACEDO, Tamara Passos; FAVERO, Francis Meire; BARBOSA, Alessandra Ferreira; CAROMANO, Fátima Aparecida; VOOS, Mariana CallilABSTRACT Diadochokinesis is the ability to perform fast, repeated and alternate movements. Diadochokinesis tests can assess both speech and upper extremities. The primary objective was to present an interdisciplinary diadochokinesis assessment protocol. The secondary objectives were to compare the performance with different phonemes of the oral diadochokinesis test (/papapa/, /tatata/, /kakaka/ and /pataka/); to compare the performance with different conditions of the upper extremities diadochokinesis test (conducted with both upper extremities in a mirrored manner, only with the right upper extremity, only with the left upper extremity, with both upper extremities in an alternately manner); and to investigate possible relationships between oral and upper extremities diadochokinesis. A total of fifteen healthy adults/seniors from 40 to 70 years old participated. Data were represented by descriptive statistics. The syllable numbers in /papapa/, /tatata/, /kakaka/ and /pataka/ conditions and the numbers of movements in mirrored, right, left and alternated conditions were compared by ANOVA and correlated by Pearson test. There was no significant difference in results between the phonemes of oral diadochokinesis test (p<0.001). There was difference between the conditions assessed in the upper extremities diadochokinesis test (p<0.001). The number of repeated phonemes was correlated with the alternate performance of upper extremities. We concluded that the correlation between scores of oral and upper extremities diadochokinesis tests can be explained by the fact that motor and language programs are predominantly represented in the left hemisphere. Common/connected brain areas or motor programs in common can guide these tasks.
- How often should sitting and rising from a chair be evaluated in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy?(2017) HUKUDA, Michele Emy; CAROMANO, Fatima Aparecida; ESCORCIO, Renato; CARVALHO, Eduardo Vital de; BLASCOVI-ASSIST, Silvana Maria; VOOS, Mariana CallilObjective: To determine how often sitting/rising from a chair should be assessed in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients to avoid redundant/missing data. Methods: Sitting/rising from a chair was evaluated in 26 DMD children (5-12 yrs), in three-month intervals, over twelve months, with the Functional Evaluation Scale (domain sitting/rising from a chair). Scores were compared by effect sizes (ES) and standardized response means (SRM) (responsiveness analysis). Results: Sit-to-stand showed low -to-moderate responsiveness in three-month intervals (ES:0.23-0.32; SRM:0.36-0.68), moderate-to-high responsiveness in six-month intervals (ES:0.52-0.65; SRM:0.76-1.28), high responsiveness at nine-month (ES:0.84-0.91; SRM:1.26-1.64) and twelve-month intervals (ES:1.27; SRM:1.48). Stand-to-sit showed low responsiveness in three-month intervals (ES:0.26-0.49; SRM:0.37-0.42), moderate responsiveness in six-month intervals (ES:0.50-0.78; SRM:0.56-0.71), high responsiveness in nine-month (ES:0.94-1.00; SRM:0.84-1.02) and twelve-month intervals (ES:1.13; SRM:1.52). Conclusion: Six months or longer intervals for reassessment are indicated to evaluate sitting/standing from a chair in DMD patients.
- Gait, posture and cognition in Parkinson's disease(2016) BARBOSA, Alessandra Ferreira; CHEN, Janini; FREITAG, Fernanda; VALENTE, Debora; SOUZA, Carolina de Oliveira; VOOS, Mariana Callil; CHIEN, Hsin FenABSTRACT Gait disorders and postural instability are the leading causes of falls and disability in Parkinson's disease (PD). Cognition plays an important role in postural control and may interfere with gait and posture assessment and treatment. It is important to recognize gait, posture and balance dysfunctions by choosing proper assessment tools for PD. Patients at higher risk of falling must be referred for rehabilitation as early as possible, because antiparkinsonian drugs and surgery do not improve gait and posture in PD.
- Functional performance and muscular strength in symptomatic female carriers of Duchenne muscular dystrophy(2020) SILVA, Thiago Henrique da; ANEQUINI, Isabela Pessa; FAVERO, Francis Meire; VOOS, Mariana Callil; OLIVEIRA, Acary Souza Bulle; TELLES, Juliana Aparecida Rhein; CAROMANO, Fatima AparecidaDuchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) usually affects men. However, women are also affected in rare instances. Approximately 8% of female DMD carriers have muscle weakness and cardiomyopathy. The early identification of functional and motor impairments can support clinical decision making. Objective: To investigate the motor and functional impairments of 10 female patients with dystrophinopathy diagnosed with clinical, pathological, genetic and immunohistochemical studies. Methods: A descriptive study of a sample of symptomatic female carriers of DMD mutations. The studied variables were muscular strength and functional performance. Results: The prevalence was 10/118 (8.4%) symptomatic female carriers. Deletions were found in seven patients. The age of onset of symptoms in female carriers of DMD was quite variable. Pseudohypertrophy of calf muscles, muscular weakness, compensatory movements and longer timed performance on functional tasks were observed in most of the cases. Differently from males with DMD, seven female patients showed asymmetrical muscular weakness. The asymmetric presentation of muscle weakness was frequent and affected posture and functionality in some cases. The functional performance presents greater number of compensatory movements. Time of execution of activities was not a good biomarker of functionality for this population, because it does not change in the same proportion as the number of movement compensations. Conclusion: Clinical manifestation of asymmetrical muscle weakness and compensatory movements, or both can be found in female carriers of DMD mutations, which can adversely affect posture and functional performance of these patients.
- Hip Mobilization at Preterm Age May Accelerate Developmental Dysplasia Recovery(2018) VOOS, Mariana Callil; DRUMMOND, Soares de Moura Maria Clara; HASUE, Renata HydeePurpose. Few studies have described mobilization approaches in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The present study describes the hip mobilization of a preterm infant (born at 33 6/7 weeks of gestational age) diagnosed with DDH. Design and Methods. During the 43-day hospital stay, the infant was seen twice a week (ten sessions, 20 minutes each). All sessions included hip approximation maneuvers, with the hip positioned in abduction, lateral rotation and flexion, and lower limbs passive mobilization, which were taught to the mother. Early intervention with auditory, tactile, visual, and vestibular stimulations was also performed. The infant was assessed with hip ultrasound before and after treatment. Results. At 34 2/7 weeks of gestational age, she was classified as Graf IIa (left: alpha: 55 degrees, beta: 68 degrees; right: alpha: 59 degrees, beta: 64 degrees). At 40 5/7 weeks, she was classified as Graf I for left (alpha: 67 degrees; beta: 42 degrees) and right (alpha: 66 degrees; beta: 42 degrees) hips. Practical Implications. The intervention seemed to accelerate the acquisition of stability of dysplasic hips in a preterm infant. The outcome supports further investigation of hip approximation maneuvers as part of early stimulation in preterm infants with DDH during hospital stay.
- Cognitive or Cognitive-Motor Executive Function Tasks? Evaluating Verbal Fluency Measures in People with Parkinson's Disease(2017) BARBOSA, Alessandra Ferreira; VOOS, Mariana Callil; CHEN, Janini; FRANCATO, Debora Cristina Valente; SOUZA, Carolina de Oliveira; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; CHIEN, Hsin Fen; MANSUR, Leticia LessaIntroduction. Executive function deficits are observed in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) from early stages and have great impact on daily living activities. Verbal fluency and oral diadochokinesia involve phonarticulatory coordination, response inhibition, and phonological processing and may also be affected in people with PD. This study aimed to describe the performance of PD patients and an age-and education-matched control group on executive function, verbal fluency, and oral diadochokinesia tests and to investigate possible relationships between them. Methods. Forty people with PD and forty controls were evaluated with Trail Making Test (TMT, executive function) and phonemic/semantic verbal fluency and oral diadochokinesia (/pataka/) tests. Groups were compared by ANOVA and relationships were investigated by Pearson tests. Results. People with PD showed longer times in parts A and B of TMT. They also said fewer words in phonemic/semantic verbal fluency tests and less syllables in the diadochokinesia test. Oral diadochokinesia strongly correlated to parts A and B of TMT and to phonemic verbal fluency. Conclusion. Oral diadochokinesia was correlated to executive function and verbal fluency. The cognitive-motor interaction in verbal fluency and oral diadochokinesia must be considered not to overestimate the cognitive or motor impairments in people with PD.
- Relationship Between Posturography, Clinical Balance and Executive Function in Parkinson ' s Disease(2019) SOUZA, Carolina de Oliveira; VOOS, Mariana Callil; BARBOSA, Alessandra Ferreira; CHEN, Janini; FRANCATO, Debora Cristina Valente; MILOSEVIC, Matija; POPOVIC, Milos; FONOFF, Erich Talamoni; CHIEN, Hsin Fen; BARBOSA, Egberto ReisThis study aimed to evaluate the relationship between posturography, clinical balance, and executive function tests in Parkinson ' s disease (PD). Seventy-one people participated in the study. Static posturography evaluated the center of pressure fluctuations in quiet standing and dynamic posturography assessed sit-to-stand, tandem walk, and step over an obstacle. Functional balance was evaluated by Berg Balance Scale, MiniBESTest, and Timed Up and Go test. Executive function was assessed by Trail Making Test (TMT) and semantic verbal fluency test. Step over obstacle measures (percentage of body weight transfer and movement time) were moderately correlated to Timed Up and Go, part B of TMT and semantic verbal fluency (r > 0.40; p < 0.05 in all relationships). Stepping over an obstacle assesses the responses to internal perturbations. Participants with shorter movement times and higher percentage of body weight transfer (higher lift up index) on this task were also faster in Timed Up and Go, part B of TMT, and semantic verbal fluency. All these tasks require executive function (problem solving, sequencing, shifting attention), which is affected by PD and contribute to postural assessment.
- Effects of resistance training on postural control in Parkinson's disease: a randomized controlled trial(2021) CHEN, Janini; CHIEN, Hsin Fen; FRANCATO, Debora Cristina Valente; BARBOSA, Alessandra Ferreira; SOUZA, Carolina de Oliveira; VOOS, Mariana Callil; GREVE, Julia Maria D'Andrea; BARBOSA, Egberto ReisBackground: Postural instability affects Parkinson's disease (PD) patients' postural control right from the early stages of the disease. The benefits of resistance training (RT) for balance and functional capacity have been described in the literature, but few studies have been conducted showing its effects on PD patients' postural control. Objective: To investigate the effects of a three-month RT intervention on static posturography (SP) measurements and clinical functional balance assessment among PD patients. Methods: Seventy-four patients were randomly assigned to a three-month RT intervention consisting of using weightlifting machines at a gym (gym group) or RT consisting of using free weights and elastic bands (freew group), or to a control group. The participants were evaluated at baseline, three months and six months. We evaluated changes of SP measurements under eyes-open, eyes-closed and dual-task conditions (primary endpoint), along with motor performance and balance effects by means of clinical scales, dynamic posturography and perceptions of quality of life (secondary endpoints). Results: There were no significant interactions in SP measurements among the groups. Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS-III) motor scores decreased in both RT groups (p<0.05). Better perceived quality of life for the mobility domain was reported in the gym group while functional balance scores improved in the freew group, which were maintained at the six-month follow-up (p<0.05). Conclusions: This study was not able to detect changes in SP measurements following a three-month RT intervention. Both RT groups of PD patients showed improved motor performance, with positive balance effects in the freew group and better perceived quality of life in the gym group.
- Educational status influences cognitive-motor learning in older adults: going to university provides greater protection against aging than going to high school(2017) VOOS, Mariana Callil; PIEMONTE, Maria Elisa Pimentel; MANSUR, Leticia Lessa; CAROMANO, Fatima Aparecida; BRUCKI, Sonia Maria Dozzi; VALLE, Luiz Eduardo Ribeiro doObjective: To investigate if middle-aged and older adults with a higher education would differ from those with an average education in cognitive-motor tasks involving lower limb function. Methods: A walking version of the Trail Making Test (Walking Executive Function Task, [ WEFT]) was used. Eighty volunteers (40: 50-65 years; 40: 66-80 years) were subdivided into average (6-11years of education) and higher education (12-17 years). They received two training sessions (session 1: eight repetitions, session 2: four repetitions), with a one week-interval between them. The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test was performed before and after the training. Results: Volunteers with an average education showed longer times on the WEFT than those with a higher education. Older adults showed lower retention than middle-aged adults (p < 0.001). The TUG was faster after the WEFT training (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The impact of education was observed when locomotion was associated with cognitive tasks. Average education resulted in poorer performance and learning than higher education, mainly in older adults. Gait speed increased after training.
- Versão brasileira da Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo)(2017) SÁ, Cristina dos Santos Cardoso de; FÁVERO, Francis Meire; VOOS, Mariana Callil; CHOREN, Francine; CARVALHO, Raquel de PaulaABSTRACT The Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control (SATCo) test was translated and adapted to Brazilian Portuguese. Two English language proficient professionals independently translated the original scale for the Brazilian Portuguese (T1 and T2). Following, the translated version of consensus was generated (TU). Two translators performed two versions in English (BT1 and BT2) of the TU version. A new process of consensus between translators and researchers resulted in an English version (BTfinal) that was compared with the original version, aiming to detect possible semantic differences. The version of the instrument in Brazilian Portuguese (TU), called Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control, was revised by the experts’ committee, composed of three physical therapists for content checking and the second version of agreement was generated (Tfinal). Tfinal was submitted to one of the original scale authors to check the understanding of the Brazilian Portuguese version. After this step, 20 physical therapists applied the scale in children with Cerebral Palsy. Part of the physical therapists indicates the need for complementary information in the description of instructions and score.
