ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to analyze the contribution of a Physical Education program on constructing beliefs in teacher self-efficacy, taking into account the teaching dimensions of instruction, organization, and social environment. A qualitative research was conducted through a semistructured interview with 11 college students in their last year of a Physical Education Degree at a public University in Santa Catarina, Brazil. The data were obtained through semi-structured interviews. The results showed that the mandatory internship was the main learning context, and the main sources of learning were direct teaching experiences and feedbacks during the internship, followed by professor observations within the required classes for the degree. Therefore, we concluded that college students attributed teaching self-efficacy to the teaching and learning experiences in the mandatory internship and the observations made during regular classes.


RESUMO O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a contribuição de um curso de graduação em Educação Física para a construção de crenças de autoeficácia docente, levando em consideração as dimensões de ensino de instrução, organização e clima social. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, através de entrevista semiestruturada com 11 universitários do último ano do curso de Licenciatura em Educação Física. Os dados foram obtidos através de entrevista semiestruturada. Os resultados evidenciaram que o principal contexto de aprendizagem foi o estágio obrigatório e, que as principais fontes ocorreram mediante as experiências diretas de ensino e feedbacks nos estágios, seguidas das observações de professores no contexto das disciplinas. Conclui-se que os universitários atribuíram a origem da autoeficácia docente às experiências de ensino e aprendizagem nos estágios obrigatórios e de observação nas disciplinas.

ABSTRACT

Los mosquitos son vectores trasmisores de enfermedades como: dengue, zika y chikunguya. El control biológico es una alternativa viable a tener en cuenta por los programas de control. Bacillus thuringiensis es el microorganismo más usado en salud pública. Su efectividad como larvicida contra culícidos depende, en gran medida, de la eficiencia del proceso productivo. El objetivo es evaluar y comparar la eficacia larvicida contra Aedes aegypti de la formulación en polvo Rapidall NP3 con la del producto Bactivec®, formulación líquida utilizada en Cuba. Se realizaron bioensayos de laboratorio según los procedimientos descritos y sugeridos por la OMS para determinar la eficacia, exponiendo las larvas a las concentraciones recomendadas por los fabricantes de los productos Rapidall NP3 y Bactivec®. A los recipientes utilizados se les realizó recambio de agua medio, total y sin recambio, con una frecuencia semanal. A las 24 h se calculó la mortalidad obtenida y se analizó estadísticamente mediante un ANOVA de una vía; cuando existieron diferencias significativas se aplicó un análisis Post-hoc mediante la prueba de Tukey. El producto evaluado Rapidall NP3, provocó 100 por ciento de mortalidad larvaria durante 11 semanas, independientemente de la proporción de recambio de agua, mientras que el Bactivec® solo provocó 100 por ciento de mortalidad hasta las 6 semanas de iniciado el experimento. El biolarvicida Rapidall NP3 mostró buena eficacia y actividad residual prolongada al compararlo con Bactivec®, por lo que recomendamos su evaluación en el terreno en el control larvario de depósitos que constituyen sitios de cría habituales y que no pueden ser eliminados físicamente(AU)


Mosquitoes are vectors of human diseases such as dengue, zika and chikungunya. Biological control is a viable alternative to be taken into account in control programs. Bacillus thuringiensis is the microorganism most commonly used in public health. Its effectiveness as a larvicide against culicides depends to a great extent to the production process. The objectives of the study were to evaluate and compare the larvicidal efficacy against Aedes aegypti of the Rapidall NP3 powder formulation with Bactivec®, a liquid formulation used in Cuba. Laboratory bioassays were conducted to determine efficacy following WHO protocols. Larvae were exposed to the concentrations recommended by Rapidall NP3 and Bactivec® manufacturers. The water in the containers used in the study was replaced once a week: half, whole and no replacement. At 24 hours mortality was estimated and statistically analysis were done by one-way ANOVA. When significant differences were found, post-hoc analysis was performed with Tukey's test. Rapidall NP3 caused 100 percent larval mortality for 11 weeks, regardless of the water replacement proportion, whereas Bactivec® caused 100 percent mortality for only 6 weeks after the start of the experiment. When compared with Bactivec®, biolarvicide Rapidall NP3 displayed better efficacy and more prolonged residual activity. We therefore recommend its field evaluation for larval control of containers constituting habitual breeding sites which cannot be physically eliminated(AU)

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Conduziu-se revisão sistemática retrospectiva da literatura incluindo estudos relatando o uso de picibanil para tratar malformações linfáticas (ML). MÉTODOS: A pesquisa foi realizada com estudos publicados no PubMed de janeiro de 1990 a 14 de abril de 2013. Na estratégia de busca, usou-se os descritores "OK-432" ou "Picibanil" e "lymphatic malformation". Os seguintes elementos foram comparados aos de outras modalidades relatadas e, então, compilados: mecanismo de ação, indicações, contraindicações, eficácia, administração, efeitos colaterais, complicações, vantagens e desvantagens. RESULTADOS: Foram encontrados 44 estudos, 27 dos quais atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. O picibanil é uma preparação liofilizada de uma cepa de baixa virulência de Streptococcus pyogenes inativada pela penicilina G. Seu mecanismo de ação ainda não definido claramente, mas especula-se que provoque uma resposta inflamatória controlada com adesão das paredes dos cistos. O picibanil é indicado quase que unanimemente para o tratamento da ML macrocística, cuja resposta é mais efetiva do que em lesões microcísticas ou mistas. Em geral, o picibanil é administrado por meio de punção com visualização direta ou guiada por ultrassonografia, com o paciente sob anestesia geral. A preparação comumente utilizada consiste em 0,1 mg de picibanil em 10 ml de soro fisiológico. Os efeitos colaterais são, em geral, leves; sendo dor, inchaço e febre os mais frequentemente relatados. CONCLUSÃO: Os estudos apresentam pouca evidência científica. A revisão sistemática identificou que o picibanil é útil no tratamento da ML de qualquer tipo, mas tem resultados melhores em lesões macrocísticas. A eficácia foi comparável à de outras terapias. Não foi apresentada nenhuma contraindicação específica. Embora o mecanismo de ação ainda não tenha sido determinado, o picibanil trata-se de opção de tratamento.


INTRODUCTION: We performed a retrospective systematic review of studies reporting the use of Picibanil for treatment of lymphatic malformations (LMs). METHODS: We searched the PubMed database for available studies, including those published between January 1990 and April 14, 2013. The search strategy involved the use of the keywords "OK-432" or "Picibanil" and "lymphatic malformation." Information was compiled regarding the reported mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, efficacy, administration, side effects, complications, and advantages and disadvantages compared to those of other modalities. RESULTS: Forty-four studies were found, of which 27 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Picibanil is a lyophilized preparation of a low-virulence strain of Streptococcus pyogenes inactivated with penicillin G. Its mechanism of action is unclear, but it has been speculated that it causes a controlled inflammatory response with adhesion of cyst walls. Picibanil is almost unanimously indicated for the treatment of macrocystic LMs, which show a greater effectiveness response compared to that shown by microcystic or mixed LMs. Picibanil is usually administered by puncturing, either with direct visualization or guided by ultrasound, with the patient under general anesthesia. The most widely used preparation comprises 0.1 mg of Picibanil in 10 mL of saline. Side effects are mostly mild, with pain, swelling, and fever being the most frequently reported. CONCLUSION: The studies had low scientific evidence. A systematic review found that Picibanil is useful against any LM, with better results in macrocystic lesions. Efficacy was comparable to that of other therapies. No specific contraindication was presented. Although the mechanism of action has not been established, the inclusion of Picibanil as a treatment option is warranted.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O câncer de pele é a neoplasia mais frequente no Brasil e corresponde a 25% de todos os tumores malignos. O melhor tratamento é a ressecção cirúrgica em fases iniciais. O cirurgião plástico, juntamente com uma equipe multiprofissional, participa no tratamento desta doença. O objetivo é analisar a eficácia dos procedimentos cirúrgicos realizados pelo cirurgião plástico no tratamento do câncer de pele. Método: Foram analisados 404 prontuários de pacientes operados no período de fevereiro de 2009 a dezembro de 2012 e analisados gênero, idade, diagnóstico, localização e evolução. Resultados: Faixa etária com média de 62 anos. 53% de casos de carcinoma basocelular, 25,5% melanoma e 15,1% carcinoma espinocelular. Houve predomínio de mulheres nos carcinomas basocelulares (56%) e no melanoma (54%) e de homens nos carcinomas espinocelulares (61%). Os carcinomas basocelulares (92,99%) e espinocelulares (72,13%) tiveram sua predominância na região de cabeça e pescoço; enquanto o melanoma predominou em região de tronco (36,89%) e membros inferiores (24,27%). Foram realizadas 67 cirurgias com pesquisa de linfonodo sentinela, com positividade em 14,93%. 7,76% dos pacientes de melanoma apresentaram metástases e 2,91% vieram a óbito. Conclusão: O cirurgião plástico é um dos profissionais importantes para o tratamento do câncer de pele, sendo o mais apto para realizar as reconstruções após as ressecções tumorais, pois tem em sua formação os conceitos de reparação, utilizando-se de enxertos e retalhos e considerando o aspecto estético dos pacientes. Cabe-lhe também a realização da cirurgia de pesquisa de linfonodo sentinela e o seguimento dos pacientes com câncer de pele.


Introduction: Skin cancer is the most common neoplasm in Brazil and it corresponds to 25% of all diagnosed malignant tumors. The best treatment is surgical resection in early stages. The disease is treated by a plastic surgeon along with a multidisciplinary team. The objective is to assess the effectiveness of surgical procedures performed by plastic surgeons to treat skin cancer. Methods: We analyzed medical records of 404 patients operated on between February 2009 and December 2012. Data analyzed included gender, age, diagnosis, localization and evolution. Results: Patients' mean age was 62 years. A total of 53% of patients had basal cell carcinoma, 25.5% melanoma and 15.1% squamous cell carcinoma. There was a predominance of women in basal cell carcinomas (56%) and melanoma (54%) and predominance of men in squamous cell carcinomas (61%). Basal cell carcinomas (92.99%) and squamous (72.13%) were predominant in the head and neck, melanoma predominated in the trunk region (36.89%) and in lower limbs (24.27%). We performed 67 surgeries with sentinel lymph node, with positivity in 14.93%. Patients with melanoma who had metastasis accounted for 7.76% and 2.91% patients died. Conclusion: Plastic surgeons are one of the important professionals for skin cancer treatment. These professionals are the most skilled one to perform reconstructions after tumor resections, because during education they learn repair concepts using grafts and flaps especially focused on aesthetic appearance of patients. They can also perform surgery for sentinel lymph node and offer follow-up to patients with skin cancer.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs é empregada para exérese de neoplasias cutâneas, especialmente carcinomas basocelulares de subtipos histológicos localmente agressivos, tumores recidivados ou localizados em regiões nobres. Apresenta elevados índices de cura e permite preservação tecidual. O objetivo é analisar a eficácia da cirurgia micrografia de Mohs e os métodos de reconstrução utilizados. Método: Foram coletados, retrospectivamente, dados de 50 pacientes submetidos à exérese de tumores cutâneos por meio da cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs e à reconstrução da perda de substância. Todos os pacientes foram operados no período entre janeiro de 2005 a dezembro de 2013 na Clínica de Cirurgia Plástica do Hospital Felício Rocho (Belo Horizonte, MG, Brasil). Os pacientes foram estudados com relação à idade, gênero, localização do tumor, tratamento prévio, tipo histológico, número de fragmentos analisados na cirurgia micrográfica, método de reconstrução empregado e proservação. Resultados: Trinta e um pacientes (62%) foram do gênero feminino e 19 (38%) do masculino. A média de idade foi de 63,8 anos. Todas as lesões encontravam-se na face, com 66% dos casos com acometimento da região nasal. Considerando o diagnóstico pré-operatório, 48 casos (96%) eram carcinoma basocelulares e dois casos (4%) correspondiam ao carcinoma microcístico anexial. Retalhos locais foram o tipo de reconstrução mais utilizado. Os pacientes foram acompanhados por média de 48,4 meses. Nenhum caso de recidiva tumoral foi observado. Conclusão: A cirurgia micrográfica de Mohs se mostrou altamente eficaz no tratamento dos 50 casos de neoplasias cutâneas. Recomenda-se que os defeitos cirúrgicos sejam reparados pelo cirurgião plástico.


Introduction: Mohs micrographic surgery is used for the excision of skin neoplasms, especially in locally aggressive histological subtypes of basal cell carcinoma, tumor recurrences, or tumors located in critical areas . This technique has a high cure rate and allows maximum preservation of tissues. In this study, we aimed to assess the effectiveness of Mohs micrographic surgery and reconstruction methods. Method: Data from 50 patients who underwent Mohs micrographic surgery to excise skin tumors and reconstruct lost tissue were collected retrospectively. All patients were operated on between January 2005 and December 2013 at the Plastic Surgery Clinic of the Felício Rocho Hospital (Belo Horizonte, MG, Brazil). The patients' age, sex, tumor location, previous treatment, histological type, number of segments analyzed by micrographic surgery, reconstruction method used, and preservation were studied. Results: Thirtyone patients (62%) were women and 19 (38%) were men. The mean age was 63.8 years. All lesions were facial, with 66% of cases affecting the nasal area. Pre-surgery, there were 48 cases (96%) of basal cell carcinoma and 2 cases (4%) of microcystic adnexal carcinoma. Local flaps were the most used reconstruction method. The patients were followed-up for a mean of 48.4 months. We did not observe any cases of tumor recurrence. Conclusion: Mohs micrographic surgery was shown to be effective in the treatment of 50 skin neoplasms. We recommend that surgical defects should be repaired by the plastic surgeon.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: A correção da diástase dos músculos retos do abdome é realizada principalmente pela sua plicatura, procedimento que consome muito tempo cirúrgico. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar a eficácia e o tempo necessário para a correção da diástase dos retos do abdome comparando a plicatura com sutura contínua em plano único à plicatura em dois planos. Método: Foram incluídas 20 mulheres com história de pelo menos uma gestação. Foram randomizadas em dois grupos, um submetido à plicatura dos retos do abdome em dois planos (controle) e outro à sutura em plano único contínuo (estudo) com mononylon 2-0. Mediu-se o tempo necessário para a realização de cada uma das técnicas. Para análise estatística, foram usados os testes não paramétricos de Mann-Whitney, Friedman e Wilcoxon, considerando estatisticamente significante p < 0,05. Todas as pacientes foram submetidas à ultrassonografia previamente à cirurgia, 3 semanas e 6 meses de pós-operatório. Resultados: A plicatura do grupo estudo mostrou-se tão eficaz quanto à do grupo controle, mantendo seu resultado em longo prazo, apresentando diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,018) na comparação das medidas pré e pós-operatórias. No grupo estudo, porém, a plicatura consumiu menor tempo cirúrgico para ser realizada, também com diferença estatisticamente significante (p = 0,002). Conclusão: Com este estudo, pode ser concluído que tanto a sutura em dois planos como a em plano único contínuo são eficazes na correção da diástase dos retos do abdome e mantêm o resultado por longo tempo. Concluiu-se também que a técnica de sutura contínua demanda menor tempo para ser realizada.


Introduction: The correction of diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles is primarily performed using the plication technique, which involves a surgical procedure. To evaluate the efficacy and the surgical time necessary to correct diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles using plication and sutures in one continuous or two planes. Method: Twenty women with at least one pregnancy were included in the study. The study participants were randomized into two groups: the control group was subjected to plication in two planes, and the experimental group was subjected to plication using suture in one continuous plane with mono-nylon 2-0. The time required to perform each of these techniques was measured. For statistical analysis, the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test, Friedman test, and Wilcoxon test were used, and p-values of < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. All patients underwent ultrasonography before surgery, and at 3 weeks and 6 months postoperatively. Results: The plication technique was similarly effective in the two groups, achieving a long-term surgical outcome; however, the differences in the ultrasound measurements in the pre- and postoperative periods were statistically significant (p = 0.018). In addition, plication was performed in a significantly shorter time in the experimental group (p = 0.002). Conclusion: Sutures in one continuous plane and in two planes were effective in correcting diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscles, with the maintenance of a long-term surgical outcome. In addition, the continuous suture technique can be performed in a shorter time.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUÇÃO: Lesões em terço distal da perna podem deixar expostas áreas nobres, que devem ser recobertas. O retalho supramaleolar lateral faz parte de uma série de retalhos descritos na última década, é fasciocutâneo elevado no aspecto lateral da perna inferior, sendo empregado como um retalho pediculado com base distal. O objetivo do presente relato de caso é apresentar os resultados cirúrgicos e a eficácia do retalho supramaleolar lateral em lesões extensas no membro inferior com perdas de substâncias significativas em criança de 4 anos. RELATO DE CASO: Paciente A.K.E.S., sexo feminino, foi internada há 13 anos, vítima de atropelamento, com lesão extensa em dorso de pé esquerdo com exposição de áreas nobres de aproximadamente seis centímetros de diâmetro. Após desbridamento, no quinto dia foi realizada cobertura da lesão com retalho fasciocutâneo supramaleolar lateral. A paciente teve alta para acompanhamento ambulatorial, evoluindo sem intercorrência. Ela retornou ao serviço apenas 13 anos após com sobrepeso e reclamando do aumento de volume no dorso do pé. Foi realizada lipectomia do terço distal do retalho, evoluindo sem intercorrência. Um segundo procedimento do terço proximal foi programado para seis meses após. DISCUSSÃO: Lesões no terço distal da perna podem expor áreas nobres. Os retalhos supramaleolar lateral, sural e de perfurantes pediculados possuem aplicações semelhantes, mas apresentam peculiaridades técnicas individuais. Como vantagens no retalho supramaleolar lateral: não há necessidade de microanastomoses, é rápido para ser executado e simula a área receptora em várias características locais. CONCLUSÃO: É um retalho de maior facilidade de execução e reprodutível, podendo ser realizado em crianças menores de 5 anos. Tem sua aplicação como alternativa para lesões em terços inferiores da perna, tornozelo e pé.


INTRODUCTION: Injuries in the distal third of the leg may expose noble areas that should be covered. The lateral supramalleolar flap is one of a series of flaps described in the last decade; it is an elevated fasciocutaneous flap in the lateral aspect of the lower leg, and is employed as a distally based pedicled flap. The purpose of this case report is to present the surgical results and the effectiveness of the lateral supramalleolar flap in extensive lower limb injuries with significant loss of substance in a 4-year-old child. CASE REPORT: Patient A. K. E. S., a girl, was admitted 13 years previously. She had been in an accident, and had extensive injuries on the dorsum of the left foot, with exposure of noble areas approximately 6 cm in diameter. After debridement, lesion coverage was performed on the fifth day by using a fasciocutaneous lateral supramalleolar flap. The patient was discharged for outpatient monitoring and progressed without complication. She only returned to the hospital 13 years later, overweight and complaining of swelling on the dorsal aspect of the foot. Lipectomy of the distal third of the flap was performed, with uncomplicated progress. A second procedure for the proximal third was scheduled six months later. DISCUSSION: Injuries in the distal third of the leg may expose noble areas. Lateral supramalleolar, sural, and pedicled perforating flaps have similar applications, but show individual technical peculiarities. The lateral supramalleolar flap has no need for microsurgery, is rapidly performed, and simulates the receiving area while considering several local characteristics. CONCLUSION: This flap is easily implemented and reproducible, and can be used in children younger than 5 years of age. It is an alternative for injuries in the lower third of the leg, the ankle, and the foot.

ABSTRACT

Objective: to evaluate the therapeutic decision making for the academic of the last year of dentistry at the universities of the Distrito Federal, on dental caries in deciduous teeth and permanent young. Material and Methods: the evaluation was obtained through the application of a questionnaire containing a diagram representing five different stages of deep carious lesions on interproximal radiographs. Were selected through census of students enrolled last semester of each institution and concluded that the theoretical discipline of pediatric dentistry in accordance with the curriculum offered by the University. Data were analyzed statistically by the chi-square test the 5% level of significance. Results: we analyzed 132 questionnaires of which 30.3% of respondents opted for immediate restorative treatment for the injuries to deciduous teeth in the dentin-enamel junction to the permanent tooth, the percentage rose to 31.1%, revealing that there was similarity between universities about which strategy to use. Regarding caries removal there was a discrepancy in an institution compared the other in choosing the more invasive treatment (p = 0.0014). Conclusion: we see the need to implement teaching strategies for the training of a professional within the philosophy of minimum intervention.

ABSTRACT

Introdução: O sucesso de um enxerto de pele é avaliado não apenas pela integração do enxerto em si, mas também pela qualidade da recuperação da área doadora. A despeito de as áreas doadoras de enxertos representarem o melhor local para estudo de cicatrização de feridas, regimes de tratamento, de áreas doadoras, tem sido incompletamente estudados. Objetivo: Avaliação da eficácia de espumas de poliuretano como curativo de áreas doadoras de enxertos. Método: Estudo prospectivo no qual áreas doadoras de enxertos foram tratadas com espumas de poliuretano como alternativa a filmes de acetato de celulose. Resultados: Foram tratados 11 pacientes e catorze áreas doadoras de enxerto. Aderência prolongada (73%) e odor desagradável (45%) foram os problemas encontrados. Os resultados foram considerados insatisfatórios na grande maioria dos casos (73%). Conclusões: O uso de espumas de poliuretano mostrou-se ineficaz, nesse grupo de pacientes, devido à ocorrência de alto índice de complicações.


Introduction: The success of a skin graft is evaluated by not only the integration of the graft itself, but also the quality of the recovery of the donor site. Despite the fact that graft donor sites represent the best place to study wound healing, treatment regimens for donor sites have not been studied extensively. Method: To evaluate the efficiency of polyurethane foam as a dressing for graft donor sites. Methods: We conducted a prospective study in which graft donor sites were treated with polyurethane foam dressing, as an alternative to a cellulose acetate film. Results: We treated 11 patients and 14 donor graft sites. Problems associated with the use of polyurethane foam included prolonged adherence (73%) and an unpleasant odor (45%). The majority of patients reported that they found the dressing to be unsatisfactory (73%). Conclusions: The use of a polyurethane foam was shown to be ineffective as a graft donor site dressing, due to the high rate of associated complications.

Desde su origen, la Homeopatía ha sido objeto de críticas por parte del modelo médico convencional, debido a que la metodología y los principios en que se fundamenta el arte curativo que configuró Samuel Hahnemann no son compartidos por el paradigma dominante, el cual se basa en el pensamiento positivista que se impuso en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Así, aunque ha pasado más de un siglo y a pesar de que la Homeopatía ha mostrado su efectividad cuando se aplica correctamente, la percepción de la mayoría de los médicos que ejercen la alopatía sigue en el presente las mismaspautas ideológicas de hace décadas. Esto pudo comprobarse a través de una seriede entrevistas con un grupo de médicos mexicanos elegidos al azar, quienes mostraron que los prejuicios y las descalificaciones hacia la medicina homeopática siguen presentes, aunque también se encontró cierta apertura en algunos de estosespecialistas.


Since its inception, homeopathy has been criticized by the conventional medical model, because the methodology and principles underlying the healing art that Samuel Hahnemann configured are not shared by the dominant paradigm, which is based on positivist thinking that prevailed in the second half of the nineteenth century. This way, although it has been more than a century and although homeopathy has shown its effectiveness when applied correctly, the perception of most doctors practicing allopathy follows in this the same guidelines ideological decades. This was proved through a series of interviews with a group of randomly selected Mexican physicians, who showed that the prejudices and insults towards homeopathic medicine are still present, but also found some open minds in some of these specialists.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a eficácia do método Pilates em melhorar a postura e a flexibilidade em mulheres com hipercifose. Foi conduzido um ensaio clínico, controlado e randomizado com 41 mulheres (média de idade= 59 ± 9 anos), divididas aleatoriamente em dois grupos: 22 no grupo de intervenção e 19 no grupo controle. As participantes passaram por dois conjuntos iguais de mensurações, antes e depois de um período de treinamento/ controle, que foram compostos por: características sociodemográficas e clínicas, peso, altura, índice de massa corporal (IMC), percentual de gordura corporal (três pregas cutâneas), razão quadril-cintura (medidas das circunferências). Além desses, o grau de cifose foi mensurado pelo ângulo de Cobb através de um exame radiológico (Raio-X) com o paciente em pé, a flexibilidade foi medida com um flexímetro e a postura analisada através de quatro fotografias (visão anterior, perfil direito e esquerdo e posterior) com o software Fisimetrix. Todas as medições foram realizadas pelo mesmo observador, que foi treinado e cegado quanto à alocação dos sujeitos. Os exercícios foram realizados duas vezes por semana (60 minutos cada aula) durante 30 semanas. Antes do estudo, os dois grupos não diferiram estatisticamente em nenhuma das características analisadas. Após o estudo foram detectadas diferenças significativas entre os dois grupos em termos de: ângulo da cifose torácica (grupo experimental= -8,0 ± 7,5 graus; grupo controle= -0,6 ± 3,4 graus; p <0,001), flexibilidade de todos os movimentos da região cervical e do tronco, IMC (p <0,001), percentual de gordura corporal (p <0,001) e todos os movimentos (p <0,05), com exceção da flexão anterior do tronco. Portanto, o método Pilates é eficaz em melhorar a postura e flexibilidade em mulheres mais velhas com hipercifose, bem como em reduzir a gordura corporal.


The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Pilates method in improving posture and flexibility in women with hyperkyphosis. A randomized controlled trial was performed with 41 women (mean age of 59 ± 9 years) randomized into two groups: 22 in the intervention group and 19 in the control group. Subjects undertook two equal sets of assessment, before and after a training/ control period, which comprised of sociodemografic and clinical characteristics, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage (three skin fold measurement), waist-hip ratio (circumference measurements). In addition to these, the degree of kyphosis was measured by the Cobb angle on a standing lateral radiograph, flexibility was measured with a fleximeter and posture assessment was carried out with theFisimetrix software through four view photographs (front, right profile, left profile and back). All measurements were carried out by the same observer, who was trained and blinded with respect to the subjects’ group allocation. The exercises were carried out twice a week (60-minute class) for 30 weeks. Before the study, the two groups did not differ statistically in terms of any of the characteristics analyzed. After the study, statistically significant differences were found between the two groups in terms of: kyphosis angle (experimental group = -8,0 ± 7,5 degrees; control group = -0,6 ± 3,4 degrees; p <0,001), flexibility of all cervical region and trunk movements, BMI (p <0,001), body fat percentage (p <0,001) e all body movements (p <0,05), except for trunk flexion. Therefore, the Pilates method is effective in improving posture and flexibility in women with hyperkyphosis as well as reducing body fat.
