ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Os autores discutem a correlação existente entre a cifose torácica aumentada, em pacientes portadores de Dorso Curvo Postural (DCP) ou Doença de Scheuermann (DS), e a contratura dos músculos isquiotibiais. Esta relação é pouco estudada na literatura. MÉTODOS: No período de junho a dezembro de 2003, foram analisados 38 pacientes. Dentre os pacientes, 26 (68,4 por cento) eram do sexo masculino e 12 (31,6 por cento) do sexo feminino. A idade mínima foi de 10 anos e a máxima de 20 anos, com média de 15,36. Encontramos 20 (52,6 por cento) pacientes portadores de Doença de Scheuermann e 18 (47,4 por cento) com Dorso Curvo Postural. RESULTADOS: De todos os 38 pacientes estudados, 32 (84,2 por cento) apresentaram contratura dos isquiotibiais, o que foi estatisticamente significante (p<0,001). Analisando apenas pacientes com DS encontramos 85 por cento de contratura e 83,3 por cento nos com DCP. CONCLUSÃO: Não houve diferença estatística, da porcentagem de contratura dos isquiotibiais na DS em relação ao DCP (p=0,61).


OBJECTIVE: The authors discuss the existent correlation between augmented thoracic kyphosis in patients with juvenile Kyphosis or Scheuermann`s disease and hamstrings contraction. This correlation is marginally addressed by existing studies. METHODS: Between June and December 2003, 38 patients belonging to the Spine Group at the Department of Orthopaedics from Santa Casa de São Paulo, Brazil, were analyzed. Among them, 26 (68.4 percent) were males and 12 (81.6 percent) were females. The youngest age was 10 and the oldest one was 20 years, with an average of 15.36. Twenty (52.6 percent) patients presented with Scheuermann´s disease and 18 (47.4 percent) with juvenile Kyphosis. RESULTS: From all 38 patients under study, 32 (84.2 percent) presented hamstring contracture, which was statistically significant (p<0.001). 85 percent of patients presenting only Scheuermann`s disease and 83.3 percent of patients with only juvenile Kyphosis had contracture. Conclusion: There was no statistically significant difference between contraction percentage in Scheuermann`s disease patients versus juvenile Kyphosis patients (p=0.61).
