ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Ankle sprains are recurrent injuries in basketball, hence more and more athletes are taping their ankles to promote joint stability, aiming at improving dynamic balance and, consequently, functional performance. OBJECTIVE: To verify the effects of elastic and rigid athletic taping on the functional performance and level of comfort of basketball players with chronic ankle instability. METHODS: Twenty-one athletes aged between 18 and 30 years (mean age 23.7 ± 3.2) with chronic ankle instability (CAI), verified using the Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool, were selected to take part in this study. The Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) and the Figure-of-8 hop test (F8) were applied unilaterally to assess functional performance, considering the ankle of greater instability in three situations: without athletic taping, with rigid athletic taping and with elastic athletic taping. A draw was held to determine the order in which the tests (held over a number of days) would be applied. A questionnaire was conducted to assess comfort on the same day the athletic tapes were applied. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the tests in any direction of the SEBT, but there was a significant difference in F8 between the rigid athletic taping x control and elastic athletic taping x control situations. In addition, the elastic athletic tape was considered significantly more comfortable than the rigid athletic tape. CONCLUSION: Athletic taping appears to effectively improve the dynamic balance and functional performance of athletes with CAI only in activities that cause considerable joint stress, as is the case in F8. Elastic athletic tape appears to be just as effective as rigid athletic tape in these situations, in addition to being a significantly more comfortable alternative. Levef of Evidence I; High quality randomized trial with statistically significant difference or no statistically significant difference but narrow confidence intervals.


INTRODUÇÃO: No basquete, as entorses de tornozelo são lesões recorrentes e, por isso, cada vez mais atletas vêm utilizando fitas atléticas para de promover a estabilização articular, visando a melhora do equilíbrio dinâmico e, consequentemente, da performance funcional. OBJETIVO: Verificar os efeitos da fita atlética elástica e rígida sobre a performance funcional e o nível de conforto dos jogadores de basquete que têm instabilidade crônica de tornozelo. MÉTODOS: Foram selecionados para este estudo 21 atletas com idade entre 18 e 30 anos (média 23,7 ± 3,2) com instabilidade crónica de tornozelo (ICT), verificada com a Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool. O Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) e o Figure-of-8 hop test (F8) foram realizados unilateralmente para avaliar a performance funcional, considerando o tornozelo de maior instabilidade em três situações: sem fita atlética, com fita rígida e com fita elástica. Um sorteio foi realizado para determinar a ordem na qual os testes (mantidos por vários dias) seriam aplicados. Um questionário foi conduzido para avaliar o conforto no mesmo dia em que as fitas atléticas foram aplicadas. RESULTADOS: Não houve diferença significativa entre os testes em nenhuma direção do SEBT, mas houve diferença significativa no F8 entre as tiras atléticas rígida vs. controle e elástica vs. controle. Além disso, a fita atlética elástica foi considerada significativamente mais confortável do que a rígida. CONCLUSÃO: As fitas atléticas parecem melhorar efetivamente o equilíbrio dinâmico e a performance funcional de atletas com ICT apenas em atividades que ocasionam grande estresse articular, como o F8. A fita atlética elástica parece ser uma alternativa tão eficaz quanto a rígida nessas situações, além de ser uma alternativa significativamente mais confortável. Nível de Evidência I; Estudo clínico randomizado de alta qualidade com ou sem diferença estatisticamente significante, mas com intervalos de confiança estreitos.


INTRODUCCIÓN: En el baloncesto, los esguinces de tobillo son lesiones recurrentes y debido a esto, cada vez más atletas han utilizado cintas atléticas con el fin de promover estabilidad articular, con el objetivo de mejorar el equilibrio dinámico y en consecuencia el rendimiento funcional. OBJETIVO: Verificar los efectos de la cinta atlética elástica y rígida sobre el rendimiento funcional y nivel de comodidad de los jugadores de baloncesto que tienen inestabilidad crónica de tobillo. MÉTODOS: Fueron seleccionados para este estudio 21 atletas con edad entre 18 y 30 años (promedio 23,7 ± 3,2) con inestabilidad crónica de tobillo (ICT), verificada con la Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool. Para evaluar el desempeño funcional se realizó el Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT) y el Figure-of-8 hop (F8) de forma unilateral, teniendo en cuenta el tobillo de mayor inestabilidad en tres situaciones: sin cinta atlética, con cinta rígida y con cinta elástica. Los tests se llevaron a cabo en el orden definido por sorteo, y se realizaron en días diferentes. El mismo día que se utilizaron las cintas atléticas se aplicó un cuestionario para evaluar la comodidad de las cintas atléticas. RESULTADOS: No hubo diferencia significativa entre los tests en ninguna dirección del SEBT, pero hubo diferencia significativa en el F8 entre las cintas atléticas rígidas vs. control y elásticas vs. control. Además, la cinta atlética elástica fue significativamente más cómoda que la rígida. CONCLUSIÓN: Las cintas atléticas parecen mejorar efectivamente el equilibrio dinámico y el desempeño funcional de atletas con ICT sólo en actividades que causan gran estrés articular, como el F8. La cinta atlética elástica parece ser una alternativa tan eficaz como la rígida en estas situaciones, además de ser significativamente más cómoda. Nivel de Evidencia I; Estudio clínico aleatorio de alta calidad, con o sin diferencia estadísticamente significativa, pero con estrechos intervalos de confianza.

ABSTRACT

Limited joint mobility [LJM] is a complication of diabetes mellitus, which usually begins from the small joints of hands and is associated with long-term complications of diabetes, such as retinopathy and nephropathy. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of Limited Joint Mobility in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Kerman in 2003. Sixty-six patients with type I diabetes mellitus [case group] and 66 sex- and age-matched, healthy subjects [control group] were enrolled into the study. LJM was diagnosed with "prayer sign" and its severity was categorized into 3 levels of mild, moderate, and severe. The results of measurements of glycosylated hemoglobin [HbA1c], date of birth, date of onset of diabetes, sex, weight, and height were recorded, as well. Anthropometric indices were calculated using the reference data of NCHS and WHO. Case and control groups had similar gender and age distributions. Anthropometric indices were significantly lower in cases than in controls [P<0.05]. LJM was observed in 25 ones in case group [37.9%] and in 5 ones in control group [7.6%] that shows statistically significant difference [P<0.001]. LJM in diabetic patients was positively correlated with age [P=0.047] and duration of diabetes [P<0.003], but not with age of onset of diabetes [P>0.05]. Mean level of HbA1c was significantly higher in diabetics with LJM than in those without LJM [P<0.001]. The presence and severity of LJM was inversely correlated with height for age and weight for age indices in the study group [P<0.05]. The observed results are in accordance with prevalence rates reported previously. Since LJM has been associated with more serious long-term complications of diabetes in cross-sectional studies, we believe diabetic patients should be tested routinely for this forgotten sign and appropriate preventive measures should be taken

ABSTRACT

Debe ser considerada persona adulta mayor toda aquella mayor de 60 años. La prevención constituye uno de los pilares fundamentales en la atención del adulto mayor. Su objetivo es evitar el desarrollo de situaciones que, una vez implantadas, son difícilmente reversibles. Entre ellas, cabe destacar la inmovilidad, inestabilidad, incontinencia, deterioro intelectual e iatrogenia, que en sudía llegaron a ser consideradas por los clásicos de la geriatría (Bernard Isaacs) como los“Gigantes de la geriatría.

ABSTRACT

The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is an option for the recurrent patellar instability. We developed a prospective study whose objective was to show the functional results at 6 and 12 months of patients who underwent MPFL reconstruction with semitendinosus (St) autograft. Four patients (5 knees) were treated between May 2006 and May 2008. The Kujala´s test before surgery in all patients was poor (< 50 points); 6 months after the surgery 4 cases turned out to be "good and very good" (only 1 case "poor", but increased her score to 78 points) and after 12 months of follow-up, 5 cases scored "very good and excellent" (score > 90 points). The Tegner´s test showed an increased of activity that was normal for the patients, and with the Insall´s test all patients referred very satisfied 12 months after surgery. Up to this stage, there has been no recurrence. In our local environment, the MPFL reconstruction with St. is a valid treatment to recover the patellofemoral mecanic.


La reconstrucción del ligamento patelofemoral medial (LPFM) es una alternativa en la inestabilidad rotuliana recurrente. Desarrollamos un estudio prospectivo con el objetivo de exponer los resultados funcionales a los 6 y 12 meses de pacientes sometidos a una reconstrucción del LPFM con semitendinoso (St). Son 4 pacientes (5 rodillas) operados entre mayo 2006 y mayo 2008. El test de kujala preoperatorio era "malo" (< 50 pts) en todos, a los 6 meses post op. 4 casos de "bueno y muy bueno" resultado (sólo 1 caso "malo", pero con incremento de su score a 78) y a los 12 meses (5 casos) todos con función "muy bueno y excelente" (score > 90 pts). El test de Tegner mostró un aumento del nivel de actividad considerada de normal en todos los pacientes, y en el test de Insall todos refieren excelente mejoría a los 12 meses. Hasta la fecha no existen recidivas. En nuestro medio local, la reconstrucción del LPFM con St. es una alternativa válida para recuperar la mecánica patelofemoral.
