- The competition with a concurrent cognitive task affects posturographic measures in patients with Parkinson disease(2015) BARBOSA, Alessandra Ferreira; SOUZA, Carolina de Oliveira; CHEN, Janini; FRANCATO, Debora Valente; CAROMANO, Fatima Aparecida; CHIEN, Hsin Fen; BARBOSA, Egberto Reis; GREVE, Julia Maria D'Andrea; VOOS, Mariana CallilObjectives: To estimate the impact of a sensory-motor-cognitive task on postural balance, in Parkinson disease patients (Hoehn and Yahr 2-3) and to investigate possible relationships between posturography and functional balance clinical scales. Method: Parkinson disease patients (n = 40) and healthy controls (n = 27) were evaluated with fluency tests, Berg Balance scale, Mini Best test and static posturography on the conditions eyes open, eyes closed and dual-task (simultaneous balance and fluency tasks). Results: Posturographic data showed that Parkinson disease patients performed worse than controls in all evaluations. In general, balance on dual-task was significantly poorer than balance with eyes closed. Posturographic data were weakly correlated to clinical balance scales. Conclusion: In clinical practice, Parkinson disease patients are commonly assessed with eyes closed, to sensitize balance. Our study showed that adding a cognitive task is even more effective. Static posturographic data should be carefully overgeneralized to infer functional balance impairments.

- ASSOCIATION BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL STATUS AND DUAL-TASK PERFORMANCE IN YOUNG ADULTS(2015) VOOS, Mariana Callil; PIEMONTE, Maria Elisa Pimentel; CASTELLI, Lilian Zanchetta; MACHADO, Mariane Silva Andrade; TEIXEIRA, Patricia Pereira Dos Santos; CAROMANO, Fatima Aparecida; VALLE, Luiz Eduardo Ribeiro DoThe influence of educational status on perceptual-motor performance has not been investigated. The single- and dual-task performances of 15 Low educated adults (9 men, 6 women; M age = 24.1 yr.; 6-9 yr. of education) and 15 Higher educated adults (8 men, 7 women; M age = 24.7 yr.; 10-13 yr. of education) were compared. The perceptual task consisted of verbally classifying two figures (equal or different). The motor task consisted of alternating steps from the floor to a stool. Tasks were assessed individually and simultaneously. Two analyses of variance (2 groups x 4 blocks) compared the errors and steps. The Low education group committed more errors and had less improvement on the perceptual task than the High education group. During and after the perceptual-motor task performance, errors increased only in the Low education group. Education correlated to perceptual and motor performance. The Low education group showed more errors and less step alternations on the perceptual-motor task compared to the High education group. This difference on the number of errors was also observed after the dual-task, when the perceptual task was performed alone.
- Development and Reliability of the Functional Evaluation Scale for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Gait Domain: A Pilot Study(2015) CARVALHO, Eduardo Vital de; HUKUDA, Michele Emy; ESCORCIO, Renata; VOOS, Mariana Callil; CAROMANO, Fatima AparecidaBackground and PurposeThe progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results in the emergence of multiple and varied synergies to compensate muscle weakness and to deal with the demands of the functional tasks (e.g. gait). No functional evaluation instrument for individuals with DMD allows the detailed description (subjective qualitative evaluation) and compensatory movement scoring (objective quantitative evaluation) exclusively of gait. For this reason, clinicians and therapists face difficulties in assessment and decision-making of this functional activity. This study aimed to elaborate the gait domain of the Functional Evaluation Scale for DMD (FES-DMD-GD) and test its intra-rater and inter-rater reliabilities and its relationship with age and timed motor performance. MethodWe listed all the compensatory movements observed in 102 10-m gait videos of 51 children with DMD. Based on this report, the FES-DMD-GD was created and submitted to the review of 10 experts. After incorporating the experts suggestions, three examiners scored the videos using the FES-DMD-GD. The intra-rater and inter-rater reliabilities was calculated. Spearman correlation tests investigated the relationships between FES-DMD-GD and age and timed motor performance (p<0.05). ResultsThe FES-DMD-GD was composed of three phases and had 14 items to quantify compensatory movements on gait. Intra-class correlation coefficients ranged from acceptable (0.74) to excellent (0.99). FES-DMD-GD correlated to age and timed motor performance. ConclusionThis pilot version of FES-DMD-GD showed reliability and correlated to age and timed motor performance.
