ABSTRACT

El síndrome de sensibilización espinal segmentaria es un cuadro clínico de dolor regional crónico muy frecuente en la consulta fisiátrica cotidiana. Se caracteriza por la presencia de fenómenos de sensibilización periférica y central las cuales son producidas por el bombardeo persistente de impulsos nociceptivos que provienen de una articulación inestable y/o una lesión de los tejidos, e involucran a uno o más segmentos adyacentes de la columna vertebral, sus correspondientes nervios espinales (raíces nerviosas) y a todas las metámeras que estas inervan, con predominio de los sistemas tegumentario y musculoesquelético. musculoesquelético. Este cuadro clínico, que tiene características de un dolor mixto (nociceptivo y nociplástico), causa desconcierto en la mayoría de médicos porque corresponde a una disfunción neuromusculoesquelética que se presenta sin una lesión definida (no se aprecia en los estudios de imágenes ni de electromiografía), o cuando la hay, esta no es proporcional al dolor que manifiesta el paciente. En este sentido, la compresión de su neurofisiopatología es fundamental para establecer un diagnóstico oportuno e iniciar un tratamiento de rehabilitación adecuado, lo cual beneficiará a un gran número de pacientes que sufren de dolor crónico discapacitante a causa de esta condición.


Segmental spinal sensitization syndrome is a clinical picture of chronic regional pain, very frequent in daily physiatric consultation, characterized by the presence of phenomena of peripheral and central sensitization produced by the persistent bombardment of nociceptive impulses coming from an unstable articular and/or tissue injury and involving one or more adjacent segments of the spine, their corresponding spinal nerves (nerve roots) and all the metameres innervated by those roots, with a predominance of the integumentary and musculoskeletal systems. This clinical picture, which has mixed pain characteristics (nociceptive and nociplastic), baffles the majority of physicians because it corresponds to a neuromusculoskeletal dysfunction that occurs without a defined lesion (nothing is seen in imaging or electromyography studies), or when there is one, it is not proportional to the pain manifested by the patient. In this sense, understanding its neuropathophysiology is essential to establish a timely diagnosis and initiate an adequate rehabilitation treatment, which will benefit a large number of patients who suffer from chronic disabling pain due to this condition.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: la actividad médica no acaba cuando la enfermedad remite. Así lo han demostrado las personas con COVID-19 grave, que no hablan de recuperación hasta meses después del egreso hospitalario. Bajo esta premisa amerita profundizar en el rol de la Medicina física y Rehabilitación. Materiales y Métodos: se realizó una revisión de la literatura en revistas de habla hispana e inglesa indexadas en bases de datos científicas. Los criterios de búsqueda fueron dirigidos a los objetivos: definir fisiatría y su posición dentro del modelo sanitario, conocer sus áreas de desempeño y la realidad nacional. Resultados: la fisiatría es la especialidad médica que se encarga de optimizar el funcionamiento de las personas mediante técnicas y estrategias de rehabilitación. Una vez establecido el diagnóstico trimodal, el fisiatra propone objetivos que involucren a todo el equipo rehabilitador, previo acuerdo con el paciente y su familia. Se encuadra bajo el modelo biopsicosocial y su espectro de acción comprende toda condición de salud o patología -congénita o adquirida- que genere una disfunción física, cognitiva o emocional, una limitación en la actividad o algún grado de restricción en la participación. A pesar del desarrollo de casi 60 años de la especialidad en Chile, existe desconocimiento en torno a ella y su alcance clínico. Discusión: parece importante contar en Chile con canales y agentes de difusión sobre el papel que juega la fisiatría como un recurso que eficientiza la restitución de las personas; deben promoverse líneas de investigación, desarrollo de subespecialidades y la descentralización de sus atenciones.


Introduction: Medical activity does not end when the disease remits. This has been demonstrated by patients with severe COVID-19, who do not speak of recovery until months after hospital discharge. Under this premise, the role of Physical medicine and rehabilitation deserves to be studied in depth. Materials and Methods: A literature review was conducted in Spanish and English language journals indexed in scientific databases. Search criteria were refined with the following objectives: to define Physiatry and its position within the health model, recognize its areas of performance, and describe the national context. Results: Physiatry is the medical specialty responsible for optimizing the functionality of people through rehabilitation techniques and strategies. Once the trimodal diagnosis is established, the physiatrist proposes objectives that involve the entire rehabilitation team and prior agreement with the patient and family. It is framed under the biopsychosocial model. Its range of action includes any health condition or pathology -congenital or acquired- that generates a physical, cognitive or emotional dysfunction, a limitation in activities, or any degree of restriction in participation. Despite 60 years of development in Chile, there is a lack of knowledge about this specialty and its potential clinical applicability. Discussion: It seems essential to create channels for dissemination of the role played by Physiatry in Chile as a resource that makes people's restitution more efficient, as well as promoting lines of research, development of subspecialties, and decentralization of care

ABSTRACT

Introducción. Se calcula que en Colombia existen más de 300 especialistas en Medicina Física y Rehabilitación, sin que actualmente se conozcan sus condiciones laborales y cómo estas se han visto afectadas por la emergencia sanitaria por Covid-19. Objetivos. Realizar una caracterización de la situación laboral de los especialistas en Medicina Física y Rehabilitación en Colombia y describir el impacto sobre su práctica clínica de la emergencia sanitaria en el país por Covid-19. Método. Se realizó una encuesta virtual a los Fisiatras de Colombia, entre el 05 y el 15 de mayo de 2020; el cuestionario comprendía 49 preguntas sobre perfil laboral, satisfacción con la especialidad y aspectos de la emergencia sanitaria por Covid-19. Resultados. 171 Fisiatras de 26 departamentos de Colombia respondieron el cuestionario. Se encontró que el mayor porcentaje se desempeña en el sector privado (53,6 %) y la modalidad más frecuente de contratación es la de prestación de servicios (54,2 %); el 68,5 % se siente satisfecho con su remuneración mensual, la cual se ha visto afectada por la emergencia sanitaria, ya que el 55,6 % señaló una reducción de sus ingresos mayor al 50 %, asociada con el cierre de servicios como consulta externa (51,9 %). Además, la pandemia por Covid-19 ha generado miedo a morir (50,9 %) y a enfermar (75,4 %) entre los profesionales de esta área. Conclusiones. Es importante desarrollar un perfil ocupacional completo de los Fisiatras del país a fin de tomar medidas que mitiguen las consecuencias de la pandemia de Covid-19 en el sector


Introduction. It is estimated that there are more than 300 specialists in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Colombia, but their working conditions and how they have been affected by the Covid-19 health emergency are not currently known. Objectives. To characterize the work situation of specialists in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Colombia and to describe the impact on their clinical practice of the Covid-19 health emergency in the country. Method. A virtual survey was conducted among Physiatrists in Colombia, between May 05 and 15, 2020; the questionnaire comprised 49 questions on labor profile, satisfaction with the specialty and aspects of the health emergency by Covid-19. Results. 171 Physiatrists from 26 departments of Colombia answered the questionnaire. It was found that the highest percentage works in the private sector (53.6 %) and the most frequent modality of contracting is the provision of services (54.2 %); 68.5 % feel satisfied with their monthly remuneration, which has been affected by the health emergency, since 55.6 % reported a reduction in their income of more than 50 %, associated with the closure of services such as outpatient consultation (51.9 %). In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic has generated fear of dying (50.9 %) and of getting sick (75.4 %) among professionals in this area. Conclusions. It is important to develop a complete occupational profile of Physiatrists in the country in order to take measures to mitigate the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic in the sector.

ABSTRACT

Resumen Este artículo es producto de una revisión de literatura histórico-crítica que analiza hechos históricos mundiales que durante el siglo XX posibilitaron el surgimiento y la consolidación de las profesiones médicas de la rehabilitación y sus formas de aproximarse a la infancia. Los análisis y reflexiones a partir de los documentos revisados se esbozan bajo el marco de tres tensiones teóricas: 1) el niño/a de hoy y el adulto del mañana, 2) el significado de habilitar–rehabilitar y 3) el posicionamiento del sujeto en la sociedad. Para dar cuenta de esto, el texto se dividió en dos apartados: el primero abarca la primera mitad del siglo XX, época de entreguerras y auge de la [re]habilitación, y el segundo se enfoca desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX hasta la actualidad, período de organizaciones políticas y avances tecnológicos. Se concluye que estas miradas de la [re]habilitación se confrontan en esta época contemporánea, con una realidad desbordante de las concepciones de la infancia que fueron instauradas históricamente. Las realidades que enfrentan los niños/as actualmente son diversas y complejas, por ello se hace necesario repensar la visión normalizadora de la infancia instaurada durante el siglo XX.


Abstract This article is the product of a review of historical-critical literature that analyzes the global historical events during the 20th century that made the emergence and consolidation of the medical rehabilitation professions possible and an examination of the ways in which these professions approach childhood. The analysis of and reflections upon the reviewed documents are outlined below according to three theoretical tensions: 1) the child of today and the adult of tomorrow, 2) the meaning of habilitation-rehabilitation, and 3) the positioning of the subject in society. To account for the breadth of these topics, the text is divided into two sections: the first covers the first half of the 20th century, the period between the wars and the emergence of [re]habilitation, and the second covers the second half of the 20th century through the present, a period of political organization and technological advances. In the contemporary era, these views of [re]habilitation are confronted by the overwhelming reality of historical conceptions of childhood. The realities that children face today are diverse and complex; therefore, it is necessary to rethink the normalizing view of childhood that was instituted in the 20th century.

ABSTRACT

Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, longitudinal y prospectivo para evaluar la efectividad de la digitopuntura y electromagnetopuntura en el tratamiento de pacientes con ptosis palpebral congénita (leve y moderada), atendidos en la consulta de fisiatría del Departamento de Terapia Física y Rehabilitación del Hospital Infantil Norte Docente Dr Juan de la Cruz Martínez Maceira de Santiago de Cuba en el primer semestre de 2010. La muestra estuvo conformada por 50 niños de ambos sexos y distribuida aleatoriamente en los grupos A y B, con 25 integrantes en cada caso: los primeros recibieron digitopuntura y los segundos electromagnetopuntura, si bien esta última resultó ser más efectiva, pues garantizó en los 3 ciclos terapéuticos una evolución favorable en todos los que presentaban un descenso leve del párpado y en más de las tres cuartas partes de los afectados por ptosis moderada.


A descriptive, longitudinal and prospective study was carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of digitopuncture and electromagnetopuncture in the treatment of patients with congenital palpebral ptosis (mild and moderate), attended in the physiatry consulting room of the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department of Dr Juan de la Cruz Martinez Maceira Northern Teaching Children Hospital from Santiago de Cuba in the first semester of 2010. The sample was formed by 50 children of both sexes and randomly distributed in the groups A and B, with 25 patients in each case: the first ones received digitopuncture and the second ones received electromagnetopuncture, although the last therapy turned out to be more effective, because it guaranteed in the 3 therapeutic cycles a favorable clinical course in all those who presented a mild drooping of the eyelid and in more than the three fourth parts of those affected by moderate ptosis.

ABSTRACT

Resumo Este estudo descreve os resultados quanto ao treinamento em habilidades psicomotoras da Disciplina de Reabilitação Médica, destinada aos académicos do 9º semestre, nos semestres 92/1 e 93/1, sendo parte do Projeto Integrado de Avaliação do Ensino Médico, referente às disciplinas do Curso de Graduação em Medicina, da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul. Foram aplicados questionários investigando, inicialmente, a experiência prévia e após o estágio, as oportunidades auferidas pelo aluno quanto à assistência e desempenho de 19 habilidades consideradas básicas na área. As habilidades foram agrupadas em quatro grupos: exame físico, abordagem do paciente com dor, fisioterapia respiratória e motora e a reabilitação em algumas patologias. Observam-se baixos percentuais de assistência, ou desempenho das habilidades questionadas no semestre 92/1 que, com a reformulação da disciplina e do questionário, passaram, no semestre 93/1, a apresentar incremento significativo no nível de treinamento ofertado. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de monitoramento continuo do treinamento dos alunos, para planejar e complementar as atividades de ensino.


Abstract: This study assesses the discipline of Medical Rehabilitation for undergraduates as part of an ongoing evaluation project from the Medical School, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS). Questionnaires containing 19 skills considered basic in the area were applied to student at the 9th semester of the medical course, during the first half academic year of 1992 (n=52) and 1993 (n=52). Before the training period in the discipline, one questionnaire .form asked about their previous experience on the skills. After its termination, the other form inquired on the opportunities granted to the trainees to assist and to perform these same skills. The 19 skills were agregated into four main groups : physical examination, the management of patient with pain, motor/respiratory physiotherapy and rehabilitation. The results showed in the 92/1 group of study a low percentage of students who assisted or performed those skills. After this preliminary assessment a new approach was given to the discipline formulation and to the questionnaires forms. The 93/1 assessment showed significant difference between previous exposures to the skills and the experience gained during the training period This trend emphasizes the need for continuous monitoring of the students training programme. It helps to better both the planning and the teaching activities.
