ABSTRACT

Las algias vertebrales constituyen un problema que se caracteriza por su alta prevalencia en la población. Esta patología generalmente es benigna y su interés se centra en su elevada frecuencia, repercusión social, laboral y económica. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo explicar los fundamentos biofísicos, objetivos de su aplicación, efectos biológicos, metodología y técnica de aplicación, así como sus indicaciones y contraindicaciones. La fisioterapia ha sido durante mucho años, una herramienta muy utilizada en la resolución de los síntomas producidos por este tipo de lesión, dentro de sus modalidades se encuentra la tracción vertebral manual, método terapéutico que se basa, en el estiramiento mecánico del raquis, generalmente dirigido a un segmento de este, para mejorar el dolor y la contractura muscular; controvertida técnica para muchos especialistas por prejuicios que le rodea sin evidencia clínica clara. No obstante, esta técnica mantiene su eficacia, como medio terapéutico en el alivio del dolor.


The spinal pain constitute a problem that characterizes by his high prevalence in the population. This pathology generally is benign and his interest centres in his high frequency, social repercussion, labour and economic. The present article has like aim explain the biophysical foundations, aims of his application, biological effects, methodology and technical of application, as well as his indications and contraindications. The physiotherapy has been during a lot of years, a very used tool in the resolution of the symptoms produced by this type of injury, inside his modalities finds the vertebral traction manual, therapeutic method that bases , in the stretching of the spine, generally headed to a segment of east, to improve the pain and the muscular contracture; controversial technician for a lot of specialists by prejudices that surrounds him without clear clinical evidence. This technique keeps his current efficiency like half therapeutic in the relief of the pain.


Les algies vertébrales constituent un trouble physique caractérisé par un taux de prévalence très haut dans la population. Cette pathologie est généralement bénigne, et son point d’intérêt réside sur sa haute fréquence, son retentissement social, économique, et du travail. Le présent article est visé à expliquer ses fondements biophysiques, les objectifs de sa mise en application, ses effets biologiques, sa méthodologie, sa technique d’application, et ses indications et contre-indications. La physiothérapie a été depuis longtemps un outil très utilisé pour l’amélioration des symptômes provoqués par ce type de lésion ; elle comprend la traction vertébrale manuelle, technique thérapeutique basée sur l’allongement mécanique du rachis et dirigée généralement à un segment de celui-là pour soulager la douleur et la contraction musculaire. Étant donnés les préjudices sans fondement scientifique qui l’entourent, elle est devenue une technique très polémique pour beaucoup de spécialistes. Toutefois, cette technique maintient son efficacité comme moyen thérapeutique pour soulager la douleur.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo - Determinar a influência imediata da técnica de alta velocidade e baixa amplitude (HVLA) aplicada na coluna cervical alta na abertura ativa da boca. As desordens temporomandibulares são afecções da articulação temporomandibular e suas estruturas periarticulares, sendo um dos sinais característicos a redução na amplitude de depressão da mandíbula. Métodos - Participaram do estudo 83 voluntários com idade entre 18 e 33 anos e dor na coluna cervical, distribuídos aleatoriamente em dois grupos, o experimental, submetidos a técnica HVLA (n= 41) e o grupo placebo (n=42). Cada sujeito teve a abertura da boca mensurada três vezes antes e após o tratamento por um avaliador cego. Resultados - O grupo em que a técnica HVLA foi aplicada na coluna cervical alta promoveu aumento imediato na abertura da boca, visto que a ADM de depressão da mandíbula no momento após intervenção, como a diferença pré e pós-intervenção foram maiores no grupo experimental comparado ao grupo placebo. Conclusão - A aplicação da HVLA sobre os músculos suboccipitais pode promover aumento na abertura da boca em sujeitos sintomáticos na região da coluna cervical imediatamente após a intervenção.


Objective - To determine the immediate influence of high velocity and low aplitude (HVLA) technique applied to upper cervical spine in active mouth opening. Temporomandibular disorders are affections of the temporomandibular joint and periarticular structures, which one of signs is a depression ampleness reduction of the jaw. Methods - The study included 83 volunteers aged between 18 and 33 years and pain inthe cervical spine, divided in two groups, the experimental subject to HVLA (n = 41) and placebo (n = 42 ). Each subject had the opening of the mouth measured three times before and after treatment by a blinded evaluator. Results - The group which HVLA was applied to the upper cervical spine promoted and immediate increase in mouth opening, since the ADM of depression at the time of the jaw after the intervention, as the difference before and after intervention, were higher in the experimental group compared to placebo group. Conclusion - The application of the HVLA on the upper cervical spine may promote an increase in mouth opening in subjects with symptomatic cervical spine region immediately after the intervention.
