ABSTRACT
Se realizó un estudio de intervención pre-experimental del tipo antes-después en el Departamento de Fisioterapia del Hospital Integral de Campaña No.15 27 de Noviembre en Oghi, Pakistán, en el período de tiempo comprendido desde el 26 de diciembre de 2005 hasta el 5 de febrero del 2006 en pacientes mayores de 15 años afectados por enfermedades del sistema osteomioarticular, con el objetivo de identificar y aplicar tratamiento con equipos de alta tecnología, la muestra quedó conformada por 515 pacientes. Las variables estudiadas fueron edad, sexo, patologías, técnicas fisioterapéuticas, síntomas y signos y evaluación final; se concluye que el grupo de edad de 46 a 55 años y el sexo masculino predominaron en el estudio; las algias vertebrales, gonartrosis y poliartralgias fueron más frecuentes; además de las corrientes analgésicas, se empleó láser y kinesioterapia pasiva con mejor respuesta del dolor, la escoliosis antálgica y la limitación funcional. Se obtuvo un 93,8 por ciento de recuperación con evaluación aceptable, lo que constituyó un impacto social en ese medio.
A pre-experimental intervention before-after study was carried out to patients older than 15 years, affected by Osteomioarticular System diseases in the Physiotherapy Department of the Integral Field Hospital No.15, 27 of November Oghi, Pakistan with the aim of identifying and applying treatment by means of high tech equipment, during the period from December 26, 2005 to February 5, 2006. The sample consisted of 515 patients. The studied variables were age, sex, physiotherapeutic pathologies, techniques, symptoms and signs, and final evaluation; It was concluded that the group of ages from 46 to 55 years and the masculine sex were most prominent in this study; being spinal algias: gonarthrosis and polyarthralgias, more frequent, the analgesic currents: laser and passive kinesitherapy were more used, with better response to pain, the antalgic scoliosis and the functional limitation shown a 93.8 percent of recovery with acceptable evaluation, which constituted a social impact in that means.

An experimental model was used to evaluate a new biomaterial - a vegetable polyurethane resin, extracted from castor plant oil - for repairing cranial vault bone loss. Two cranial, 15 x 10 mm in total width diameter and periosteum-free, bone failures were performed in 31 adult rabbits on both sides of the parietal region. Failures were not repaired in the 13 animals that comprised the control group and 18 animals had defects repaired using a vegetable polyurethane resin implant. Macroscopic, radiological and histological assessments were performed at 2, 6, 12, 18 and 24 post-operative weeks. Regardless of the method of evaluation, no tissue repair by bone neo-formation could be observed in the control group in which bone failures were replaced by scar tissue. In the group with implants, as of 6 weeks, repair of defects by bone neogenesis in peripheral areas was observed with a progressive favorable development in late samples (18 and 24 weeks), along with osteogenesis, osteoconduction and osteopromotion. Statistical analyses confirmed that bone healling in the implanted defects was more significantly effective (p<0.05). No toxic or reactional phenomena secondary to the presence of the implants that were not incorporated in the observational period were detected. No osteoinductive proprieties of implants became evident.

Como dos disciplinas complementarias, la kinesiología y la osteopatía intentan restaurar la salud y reeducar a los pacientes. La primera actúa en forma paliativa y segmentaria y la segunda es más global y resuolutiva. El tratamiento holístico del paciente requiere de disciplinas complementarias como kinesiología, osteopatía, odontología, fonoaudiología y medicina
