ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical efficacy of lumbar core muscle stability training combined with kinesiology taping technique in the rehabilitation treatment of lumbar disc herniation （LDH）. MethodsA total of 99 LDH patients treated in Ningbo Yinzhou No. 2 Hospital from January 2018 to January 2020 were selected and divided into control group （n=49） and observation group （n=50）. Kinesiology taping technique was applied to patients in the control group and patients in the observation group were treated with lumbar core muscle stability training combined with kinesiology taping technique， then we compared the therapeutic effect， lumbar function and pain degree， surface electromyography of lumbar extensor muscles， lumbar range of motion， LDH recurrence and skin allergies before and after the treatment between the two groups. ResultsAfter 4 weeks of treatment， compared with those in the control group， in the observation group， the visual analogue scale （VAS） and Oswestry disability index （ODI） scores were significantly lower （P<0.05）； the Japanese Orthopaedic Association （JOA） score， mean power frequency of lumbar extensor muscles， integral electromyography value and lumbar function score were significantly higher （P<0.05）. During the treatment， there was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between two groups （P>0.05）. After 4 weeks of treatment， the observation group had a significantly lower LDH recurrence rate than the control group （P<0.05）. ConclusionLumbar core muscle stability training combined with kinesiology taping technique achieves a significantly better therapeutic effect than kinesiology taping technique in the rehabilitation treatment of LDH and can effectively relieve muscle fatigue， help alleviate lumbar spine pain and improve the function of lumbar spine.

Confiabilidad Inter-evaluador en la Medición del Grosor Muscular y el Ángulo de Penación a través de la Evaluación Ecográfica: Estudio entre un Experto y un Kinesiólogo en Formación / Inter-Evaluator Reliability in Measurement of Muscle Thickness and Penance Angle through Ultrasound Evaluation: Comparison Study between an Expert and a Physical Therapist in Training

Existen diversas formas de evaluar el músculo esquelético. Una herramienta que ha ganado relevancia es la evaluación ecográfica. Esta, permite medir el grosor muscular (GM) y el ángulo de penación (AP). Por otra parte, en la formación inicial de los Kinesiólogos es importante realizar el ejercicio de la confiabilidad en la medición en relación al experto. un procedimiento diagnóstico. Así, el objetivo de este estudio es determinar la confiabilidad inter-evaluador en la medición del GM y el AP, a través de la evaluación ecográfica, entre un experto y un kinesiólogo en formación. La capacitación contó de tres fases; el ciclo teórico, el ciclo práctico y el proceso de confiabilidad. Para este último, se realizaron 10 pruebas para cada una de las mediciones GM 1, GM 2 y GM 3 y de AP. La confiabilidad inter-evaluador en la medición de GM es buena a excelente en los tres intentos GM1 (ICC=0,81; p=0,001), GM2 (ICC=0,86; p<0,001), GM3 (ICC=0,88;<0,001). Por su parte, la confiabilidad del AP fue pobre a regular (ICC=0,21; p=0,143. Las conclusiones de esta investigación indican que existe una excelente confiabilidad inter evaluador en la medición de GM. No así, en la medición de AP, por lo que se sugiere incrementar las horas prácticas en el proceso de aprendizaje de esta medida.

SUMMARY: Skeletal muscle can be assessed in a number of different ways. Consequently, ultrasound evaluation has become a relevant diagnostic tool. This procedure allows measuring muscle thickness (MT) and pennation angle (PA). Furthermore, during the initial training of physical therapists it is important in a diagnostic procedure, to exercise reliability in measurement in comparison to the expert. Therefore, the objective of this study is to determine the inter-rater reliability in the measurement of MT and PA, through ultrasound evaluation, between an expert and a physical therapist in training. This training was comprised of three phases: The theoretical cycle, the practical cycle and the reliability process. For the latter, ten different tests were performed for each of the MT 1, MT 2 and MT 3 and PA measurements. Inter-rater reliability in the MT measurement was good to excellent in the three attempts MT1 (ICC=0.81; p=0.001), MT2 (ICC=0.86; p<0.001), MT3 (ICC=0. 88;<0.001). On the other hand, reliability of the PA was poor to fair (ICC=0.21; p=0.143. In conclusion, this research indicates that there is excellent inter-rater reliability in the measurement of MT. This does not however apply to the measurement of PA. It is therefore suggested that practical hours during the learning process of this measure be increased.

Introducción: el servicio de Kinesiología del Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires adoptó la virtualidad para la atención de pacientes durante la pandemia de COVID-19. Se decidió realizar una adaptación transcultural del cuestionario de 17 ítems validado al español de España Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire (TSUQ) para conocer la satisfacción de los pacientes. Métodos: dos investigadores nativos realizaron una adaptación del cuestionario TSUQ al español rioplatense. Participaron pacientes atendidos entre mayo de 2021 y marzo de 2022 que habían realizado al menos cuatro sesiones de Tele-Rehabilitación (TR). Fue evaluada la correlación de la puntuación del instrumento resultante con la de un ítem agregado a modo de criterio externo concurrente. La validación del constructo fue llevada a cabo mediante sendos análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios. Resultados: obtuvimos 293 cuestionarios (media de edad 57 años, 64% sexo femenino). Luego de los resultados del AFE (Análisis factorial Exploratorio) (n = 101), consensuamos eliminar 5 ítems. El cuestionario resultante (12 ítems) fue luego validado en una nueva muestra (n = 192) a través de un AFC (Análisis factorial Confirmatorio). La fiabilidad compuesta, la varianza media extractada y la validez convergente fueron adecuadas, mientras que la validez discriminante fue escasa. Documentamos una moderada correlación (Spearman de 0,35, p < 0,0001) entre el puntaje total del cuestionario y el de la pregunta agregada como criterio externo concurrente de validación y una excelente correlación entre versiones. Conclusión: la versión abreviada del cuestionario TSUQ en español tiene propiedades psicométricas adecuadas, lo que lo vuelve un instrumento valioso para evaluar la satisfacción de los pacientes que realizan Tele-Rehabilitación.

Introduction: the Kinesiology service of the Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires adopted virtuality for patient care during the COVID-19 pandemic. It was decided to make a cross-cultural adaptation of the 17-item Telemedicine Satisfaction and Usefulness Questionnaire (TSUQ) validated for Peninsular Spanish to assess patient satisfaction. Methods: two native researchers adapted the TSUQ questionnaire to Riplatense Spanish. The participants were patients seen between May 2021 and March 2022 who had undergone at least four sessions of TR. We evaluated the correlation between the resulting instrument score and that of an item added as a concurrent external criterion. Construct validation was done with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Results: we obtained 293 questionnaires (mean age 57 years, 64% female). After the AFE results (n=101), we agreed on eliminating five items. The final questionnaire (12 items) was tested in a new sample (n=192) with a CEA. Composite reliability, mean-variance extracted, and convergent validity were adequate, whereas the discriminant accuracy was low. We documented a moderate correlation (Spearman of 0.35, p < 0.0001) between the total questionnaire score and the aggregate question score as a concurrent external validation criterion and an excellent correlation between versions. Conclusion: the abbreviated version of the TSUQ questionnaire in Spanish has suitable psychometric properties, which makes it a valuable instrument for evaluating patient satisfaction in persons undergoing Tele-Rehabilitation.

3D printed guide plate assisted and C-arm X-ray fluoroscopic positioning for femoral tunnel reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament in treating recurrent patellofemoral dislocation: a comparison of efficacies / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To compare the efficacies of 3D printed guide plate assisted positioning and C-arm X-ray machine fluoroscopic positioning for femoral tunnel reconstruction of medial patellofemoral ligament in treating recurrent patellofemoral dislocation.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed on the clinical data of 60 patients with recurrent patellar dislocation admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2018 to December 2022. The patients included 29 males and 31 females, with age range of 14-40 years [(28.6±7.6)years]. The 3D printed guide plate was used to locate the femoral tunnel in 30 patients for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (3D guide group), and C-arm X-ray machine was used for another 30 patients (conventional group). (1) CT data of the knee joint were collected before surgery and at 7 days after surgery. Mimics 19.0 software was introduced to measure the distance between the center of femoral tunnel and Sch?ttle point after surgery. (2) Knee Lysholm score and Kujala score were used to evaluate the knee function before and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after surgery. (3) At the same time points, Opti-Knee TM 3D knee kinematics analysis system was used to collect the forward and backward displacement, up and down displacement, internal and external displacement, internal and external flipping angle, internal and external rotation angle, and flexion and extension angle of the affected knee joint. The range of each freedom degree was calculated and 6 freedom degree items of 30 healthy people were subjected to knee kinematics analysis. Results:All patients were followed up for 12-15 months [(12.3±0.7)months]. (1) The distance between the center of femoral tunnel and Sch?ttle point in the 3D guide group was (5.5±2.3)mm, smaller than that in the conventional group [(7.6±2.5)mm] ( P<0.01). (2) The Lysholm score and Kujala score of the 3D guide group and conventional gruop gradually increased after surgery (all P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the Lysholm score or Kujala score between the 3D guide group and conventional gruop before surgery and at 12 months after surgery (all P>0.05). At 3, 6 and 9 months after surgery, the Lysholm score of the 3D guide group [(70.4±4.5)points, (86.4±3.1)points, (91.2±3.2)points] and Kujala score [(74.2±5.3)points, (80.9±3.5)points, (85.2±3.2)points] were higher than those of the conventional group [Lysholm score: (67.3±5.2)points, (81.8±2.5)points, (86.2±1.9)points; Kujala score: (69.8±5.2)points, (77.6±2.1)points, (82.7±2.6)points] ( P<0.05 or 0.01). (3) Before surgery, the forward and backward displacement in the 3D guide group and conventional group [(0.6±0.1)cm, (0.6±0.2)cm], up and down displacement [(0.5±0.1)cm, (0.6±0.0)cm], internal and external displacement [(0.7±0.1)cm, (0.6±0.2)cm], and flexion and extension angle [(50.6±10.3)°, (51.6±8.5)°] were less than those in the healthy controls [(1.6±0.3)cm, (1.7±0.5)cm, (1.0±0.4)cm, (63.2±5.1)°] (all P<0.05), while the internal and external flipping angle [(17.5±4.0)°, (17.1±3.8)°] and internal and external rotation angle [(17.9±1.9)°, (17.5±1.5)°] were greater than those in the healthy controls [(11.8±3.6)°, (15.8±4.9)°] (all P<0.05). At other time points, the results of front and back displacement, up and down displacement, internal and external displacement, internal and external rotation angle in the 3D guide group and conventional group were not significantly different compared with the healthy controls (all P>0.05). The flexion and extension angle in the 3D guide group and conventional gruop were smaller than those in the healthy controls at 3 months after surgery (all P<0.05). At 6 and 9 months after surgery, the flexion and extension angle in the conventional group [(55.0±3.7)°, (57.7±4.8)°] were smaller than those in the healthy controls [(63.2±5.1)°, (63.2±5.1)°] (all P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between the 3D guide group [(61.0±4.8)°, (61.8±4.9)°] and the healthy controls (all P>0.05). The flexion and extension angle in the 3D guide group and conventional gruop was similar with that in the healthy controls at 12 months after surgery (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Compared with the C-arm X-ray machine, the 3D printed guide plate assisted positioning of femoral tunnel is more simple and accurate for the medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction in treating recurrent patellofemoral dislocation, together with better early knee function recovery, better satisfaction of the patients, and better and faster restoration of the flexion and extension angle of knee joint kinematic function.

Epistemological (re)considerations on physical education in brazil from the kinesiology of the united states: a horizon beyond the epithets / (re)considerações epistemológicas sobre a educação física no brasil a partir da cinesiologia dos estados unidos: um horizonte além dos epítetos

ABSTRACT This study discusses theoretical reverberations that stand out in the field of Physical Education (PE) in Brazil in the face of epistemological discussions demarcated within the scope of PE in the USA from the 1960s onwards, and due to the contributions of the Disciplinary Movement and the context by which Kinesiology then established its position as a scope in the field of American PE. An exploratory literature review was carried out with the following guiding question: what is the impact of the epistemological developments of North American PE on the configuration of the general theory of PE in Brazil? From this perspective, we verified the authors in the Brazilian field who took a position on the resonances and limits arising from the conjectures of the scientific field of PE in the USA. Through this investigation, some processes of inhibition were highlighted by which the proposal of Kinesiology could not increase reflections in Brazil, with few exceptions.

RESUMO Este estudo discute reverberações teóricas que se destacaram no campo da Educação Física (EF) no Brasil diante das investigações epistemológicas demarcadas no âmbito da EF nos EUA a partir da década de 1960, e devido às contribuições do Movimento Disciplinar e ao contexto pelo qual a Cinesiologia se estabeleceu então como escopo no campo da EF americana. Foi realizada uma revisão exploratória da literatura com a seguinte questão norteadora: qual impacto dos desenvolvimentos epistemológicos da EF norte-americana na configuração da teoria geral da EF no Brasil? Nessa perspectiva, verificamos os autores do campo brasileiro que adotaram uma posição sobre as ressonâncias e limites decorrentes das conjecturas do campo científico da EF nos EUA. Através desta investigação, foram destacados alguns processos de inibição pelos quais a proposta da Cinesiologia não conseguiu aumentar reflexões no Brasil, com poucas exceções.

Pronóstico kinesiológico cardiorrespiratorio: un enfoque biopsicosocial / Cardiorespiratory Kinesiological Prognosis: a biopsychosocial approach

La kinesiología, fisioterapia o terapia física, se ha desarrollado de manera permanente a través de una perspectiva biopsicosocial, en la que identificar el contexto biomédico del usuario, junto con sus limitaciones en la actividad y restricciones en la participación es esencial para una atención individualizada del usuario en su contexto. Entidades como la Asociación Americana de Terapia Física (American Physical Therapist Association, APTA) y la Conferencia Mundial de Terapia Física (World Confederation for Physical Therapy, WCPT) o actualmente conocida como Fisioterapia Mundial (World Physiotherapy, WP), conceden como aspecto propio del kinesiólogo o fisioterapeuta la acción de diagnosticar, evaluar, tratar y pronosticar las disfunciones de usuarios con necesidades de atención en salud. Sin embargo, algunas de estas competencias profesionales no están del todo definidas para su aplicación en la práctica clínica. El presente artículo de comunicación profesional entrega las bases conceptuales en la que se sostienen los hitos necesarios para esta-blecer una propuesta metodológica de elaboración del pronóstico kinesiológico funcional basado en el área cardiorrespiratoria con un enfoque biopsicosocial según la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, de la Discapacidad y de la Salud (CIF). Esto, con la finalidad de que el pronóstico funcional sea incorporado como parte de la formación curricular en la profesión, así como dentro de un proceso continuo en la práctica kinesiológica

Kinesiology, Physiotherapy or Physical Therapy has been permanently developed on a biopsychosocial perspective. Identifying the user's biomedical context, along with his or her activity limitations and participation restrictions, is essential for individualized attention to the user in his or her context. Entities such as the American Physical Therapy Association and the World Confederation for Physical Therapy, or currently known as World Physiotherapy, give the kinesiologist or physical therapist the task of diagnosing, evaluating, treating, and predicting the dysfunctions of users with health care needs. However, some of these professional compe-tencies are not wholly defined for application in clinical practice, and less, in the curricular formation of the physiotherapy students. This article gives helpful concepts to elaborate a biopsychosocial cardiorespiratory functional prognosis for Kinesiology, based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), to incorporate as part of the curricular formation in the profession and within a continuous process in kinesiological practice

El término kinesiología, sus implicancias en la forma profesional y en el fondo disciplinar. Segunda parte: los matices en su desarrollo / The term kinesiology, its implications in the professional practice and disciplinary background. Second part: the nuances in its the development

Los matices que ha generado el término Kinesiología en el desarrollo disciplinar han podido justificar una importante cantidad de acciones profesionales que van desde la educación física, pasando por la investigación de laboratorio, cinética, cinemática del deporte y función ventilatoria, para culminar otorgando asistencias en el extremo de la disfunción y la inmovilidad concomitante al término de la gran mayoría de las enfermedades. Así la Kinesiología ha sido el soporte argumentativo para profesores, entrenadores, científicos y terapeutas que trabajan con el movimiento humano. No exentas de contribuir al objeto de estudio se encuentran las humanidades y las ciencias sociales que parten en la antropología y se consolidan en la biopolítica de organizaciones gremiales con carácter universal para fijar lineamientos de control. Ante la importante magnitud del campo de conocimientos acumulados, es posible sostener la evidente oportunidad de generar condiciones favorables que se encarguen de reflexionar otras soluciones inspiradas en la trascendencia de la funcionalidad y el movimiento. El denominador común de estos alcances comienza cuando la funcionalidad pasa a ser la meta epistemológica de los paradigmas al servicio del movimiento humano. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el término Kinesiología en el contexto de los matices disciplinares para recomponer sus implicancias y determinar su posibilidad de sobrevida.

SUMMARY: The nuances that the term Kinesiology has generated in disciplinary development have upheld a significant number of professional actions, ranging from physical education to laboratory research, kinetics, sport kinematics and ventilator function. Such actions have ultimately assisted in the extreme dysfunction and immobility concomitant at the end of a vast majority of diseases. Therefore, Kinesiology has been the argumentative support for teachers, coaches, scientists and therapists working with human movement. Humanities and social sciences that commence with anthropology and are consolidated in the bio politics of global union organizations to establish control guidelines are also an important contribution to its study. Given the vast amount of knowledge in this field, there is an opportunity to generate favorable conditions that reflect on further solutions inspired by the transcendence of functionality and movement. When reflecting on these achievements, the common denominator is when functionality becomes the epistemological goal ofthe paradigms at the service of human movement. In this context, the objective of this research was to analyze the term Kinesiology in the context of disciplinary nuances to recompose its implications and to determine if it can survive as a discipline.

Impacto de la Pandemia por SARS-CoV-2 en el Perfil de Ingreso y Egreso de una Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos según Escala de Categorización Kinesiológica / Impact of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic on the Admission and Discharge Profile of an Intensive Care Unit according to the Kinesiological Categorization Scale

En relación al grado de cooperación, un 78% de los pacientes con COVID-19 ingresó con una dependencia severa o nula cooperación, y al momento del egreso de UCI un 54% se mantenía en la misma condición. Respecto al nivel de actividad, durante el periodo pandemia, un 100% de los ingresos y un 96% de los egresos presentó dependencia total. Conclusión. La pandemia causada por SARS-CoV-2 ha influido directamente en el perfil de ingreso y egreso de pacientes UCI, lo cual enfrentó al personal de salud a un aumento considerable en la carga de trabajo.

Introduction. The coronavirus led to a modification and a building of new intensive care units (ICU). In addition, there was a change in the profile of patients admitted and discharged from these units. Objetive. Assess the impact of this pandemy on the admission and discharge profile of patients in the ICU according to a kinesiological categorization scale of the unit. Methods. Descriptive observational study that included 50 ICU subjects who had a Kinesiology Categorization Scale (ECK) at admission and discharge from the unit. The ECK contemplates 3 evaluation elements: ventilatory function, management and secretions, degree of cooperation and level of activity. The ECK registry was considered retrospectively for the periods July-August 2018 (pre-pandemy) and July-August 2020 (pandemy). Descriptive statistics was developed, using percentage and/or average for each variable as appropriate. Results: Looking at ventilatory function, the requirement for ventilatory support varied from 64% to 16% pre-pandemic, and from 100% to 88% during the pandemic. Regarding the management of secretions, it was shown that the subjects with effective cough varied from 60% to 22% in the pandemic period. On the other hand, the patients who required tracheal suctioning constantly in the pandemic were maintained. between 88% and 92% during the ICU stay. Regarding the degree of cooperation, 78% of the patients with COVID-19 were admitted with a severe dependency or no cooperation, and at the time of discharge from the ICU, 54% were pressed in the same condition. Regarding the level of activity, during the pandemic period, 100% of income and 96% of expenses presented total dependency. Conclusion. The pandemy caused by SARS-CoV-2 has directly influenced the admission and discharge profile of ICU patients, which confronted health personnel with a considerable increase in workload.

METHODS: comparative study of 8 patients in an intervention (IG) and kinesiotherapy (CG) group for 8 weeks. The pre- and post-test of glenohumeral internal ROM in both groups was compared using Student's t-test. RESULTS: the myofascial technique group showed a significant increase in glenohumeral internal ROM of 15.2º (p < 0.001), while the control group was not significant (p > 0.05) only 6.4º. CONCLUSIONS: A therapy treatment with Myofascial Release Techniques in patients with shoulder internal rotational deficit is more effective in increasing glenohumeral internal rotational joint range of motion than a traditional, conservative technique.

Correlation of isokinetic thigh muscle asymmetry with gait asymmetry at one year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction / 中华创伤杂志

Objective:To investigate the correlation of isokinetic thigh muscle asymmetry with gait asymmetry at one year after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.Methods:A retrospective case series analysis was made on 25 patients treated by ACL reconstruction in Third Hospital of Peking University from January 2014 to January 2019. All the subjects were male, aged 17-47 years [(29.4±5.2)years]. Standard rehabilitation treatment procedures were conducted after surgery. The isokinetic muscle strength of the thigh was collected at one year after operation to evaluate knee extensor and flexor concentric strength at 60°/s, 180°/s and 300°/s, and knee extensor and flexor eccentric strength at 60°/s. The maximum concentric and eccentric strength of the knee extensor and flexor were analysed between the injured and intact side. The three-dimensional motion information and ground reaction force was collected during the stance phase of gait, and knee kinematic and kinetic parameters were calculated by inverse dynamics analysis, including the peak flexion moment, peak extension moment, first and second peak adduction moment, peak external and internal rotation moment, peak flexion angle, peak extension angle during the terminal stance phase, flexion angle at heel strike, peak abduction angle, and peak external rotation angle during terminal stance phase. Spearman correlation analysis was used to study the correlation between limb symmetry index (LSI) of isokinetic muscle strength and LSI of gait parameters.Results:One year after ACL reconstruction, the maximum concentric strength of the knee extensor and flexor at 60°/s, 180°/s and 300°/s and maximum eccentric strength of the knee flexor and extensor at 60°/s on the injured side were significantly lower than those on the normal side (all P<0.01). Compared with the intact side, the peak knee extension moment on the injured side was significantly lower during the stance phase of gait ( P<0.01), and the extension angle was insufficient during the terminal stance phase ( P<0.01). There were no significant differences between the injured and intact side in terms of peak flexion moment, first and second peak adduction moment, peak external and internal rotation moment, peak flexion angle, flexion angle at heel strike, peak abduction angle, and peak external rotation angle during terminal stance phase (all P>0.05). One year after ACL reconstruction, Spearman correlation analysis during gait stance phase showed that the LSI of 60°/s concentric strength of the isokinetic knee extensor was significantly related to LSI of peak internal rotation moment ( R=0.42, P<0.05), the LSI of 180°/s concentric strength of the isokinetic knee extensor was significantly related to LSI of peak flexion moment ( R=0.45, P<0.05), the LSI of 180°/s concentric strength of the isokinetic knee flexor was significantly correlated with LSI of peak flexion angle ( R=0.46, P<0.05), the LSI of 300°/s concentric strength of the isokinetic knee extensor was significantly correlated with LSI of peak knee flexion angle ( R=0.42, P<0.05), and the LSI of 60°/s eccentric strength of the isokinetic flexor was significantly correlated with LSI of peak knee flexion angle ( R=0.54, P<0.01). Conclusions:For patients following ACL reconstruction at one year postoperatively, a significant correlation of isokinetic thigh extensor strength asymmetry with peak knee flexion and rotation moment and peak knee flexion angle, and that of isokinetic thigh flexor strength asymmetry with peak knee flexion angle are observed during the stance phase of gait, which suggests that patients with ACL reconstruction still need systematic rehabilitation training one year postoperatively to improve muscle strength and motor function so as to reduce the risk of ACL reinjury and secondary injury.

Go tani and his influence on the kinesiology field in the brazilian scientific context / Go tani e sua influência no campo da cinesiologia no contexto científico brasileiro

ABSTRACT This study aimed to group some perspectives on Go Tani's epistemological activity in the context of Brazilian Physical Education (PE), establishing his contributions and reflections on Kinesiology for the structuring of undergraduate and graduate Physical Education in Brazil. This is a bibliographical and exploratory study, which prioritized Tani's production on the most varied platforms and the materials that circulated about Kinesiology in national and international literature. Finally, through the theoretical review, it was possible to identify that the PE field is a scenario full of disputes and that even with the transformations of paradigms that infer the legitimate alternatives in the scientific context, the relationships that are established between the different schools of PE thought have erupted in a process of mutual incomprehension that contributes to the circularity of perspectives and the maintenance of beliefs in the field.

RESUMO O presente estudo objetivou agrupar algumas perspectivas sobre a atividade epistemológica de Go Tani no contexto da Educação Física (EF) brasileira, estabelecendo suas contribuições e reflexões a partir da Cinesiologia para a estruturação da graduação e da pós-graduação em Educação Física no Brasil. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico e exploratório, o qual priorizou a produção de Tani nas mais variadas plataformas, bem como os materiais que circularam sobre a Cinesiologia na literatura nacional e internacional. Por fim, através da referida revisão teórica, foi possível identificar que o campo da EF é um cenário repleto de disputas e que mesmo com as transformações dos paradigmas que inferem nas alternativas legítimas no contexto científico, as relações que são estabelecidas entre as distintas escolas de pensamento da EF têm eclodido num processo de interincompreensão que contribui com a circularidade de perspectivas e a manutenção de crenças no campo.

El término kinesiología, sus implicancias en la forma profesional y en el fondo disciplinar. Primera parte: un recorrido hacia su origen / Implications of the term kinesiology in the professional form and background of this discipline. First part: a journey towards its origin

RESUMEN: El término Kinesiología y sus implicancias, tanto en la formación como en la delimitación de su objeto de estudio, exhibe una consistencia interna derivada de su raíz etimológica y de su precisión lingüística. En su trayectoria histórica ha derivado a una polisemia interpretativa que no está exenta de errores e incongruencias. Lo anterior, se evidencia al analizar el término Kinesiología cuando se considera: la región geográfica, la aplicación en contextos de reflexión o de acción, las organizaciones que lo adoptan y si las palabras que la componen efectivamente describen la acción profesional o disciplinar que la justifica. En este contexto, el objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar el término Kinesiología en su aspecto histórico, para recomponer sus implicancias en la formación profesional y la pertinencia que determina los lineamientos del fenómeno del cual se hace cargo. Kinesiología proviene del griego, kլvησiολογլα y significa estudio del movimiento. Desde el punto de vista histórico, la relación entre movimiento y cuerpo humano se tardó más de mil años, originándose con Aristóteles y finalizando con Giovanni Alfonso Borelli. Posteriormente, el desarrollo de la disciplina está ligado a tres grandes movimientos, el sueco, el francés y el norteamericano. La Escuela Sueca que lideró Per Henrik Ling en el Real Instituto Central de Gimnasia (RICG), materializada por Branting y Georgii entre 1828 y 1854, a través del término Kinesiologi primero y kiné-sithérapie después, declaran como una nueva ciencia del movimiento que abarcaba los principios de un desarrollo preciso y armonioso del cuerpo humano. Paralelamente, en Francia Nicolás Dally, publicó en 1857 su magnun opus "Cinesiologie ou science du movement" declarando la ilegitimidad de la fisioterapia y la kinesiterapia para dosificar el ejercicio. Finalmente, Nils Posse acuñó por primera vez el término "Kinesiología" en Norteamérica en su publicación de 1886 titulada: "Modification of the Swedish system of gymnastics to meet American conditions". En Chile, la evolución de estos conceptos fue interiorizada desde 1920 por Joaquín Cabezas García, quien fuera el impulsor del cultivo de la Kinesiología en el Instituto de Educación Física, dotando desde su génesis a los profesionales que se formaban en docencia, con un claro concepto epistemológico de la ciencia del movimiento humano, a través de la inclusión de esta disciplina en sus planes de estudio.

SUMMARY: An internal consistency is derived from the term Kinesiology's etymological root and its linguistic precision, when taking into consideration the implications of the term, both in education as well as its definition. Historically, this has led to an interpretative polysemy fraught with errors and inconsistencies. This becomes evident more so, when the term Kinesiology is analyzed, taking into consideration geographical regions, its application in reflection or action contexts, organizations that make use of it, and whether words used actually describe the professional or the discipline action that justifies the term. In this context, the objective of this research was to analyze the term Kinesiology in its historical aspect, to reconstruct its implications in professional training and the relevance that determines the guidelines of the phenomenon for which it is responsible. The term Kinesiology originates from Greek kլvησiολογլα meaning the study of movement. From the historical point of view, the relationship concept between movement and the human body has taken more than a thousand years, beginning with Aristotle and ending with Giovanni Alfonso Borelli. Subsequently, the development of this discipline is linked to three major movements: The Swedish, the French and the American. The Swedish School led by Per Henrik Ling at the Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics (RICG), materialized by Branting and Georgii between 1828 and 1854, through the term Kinesiologi first and kinésithérapie later, was declared as a new science of movement that encompassed the principles of a precise and harmonious development of the human body. At the same time, in France, Nicolas Dally, published in 1857 his magnum opus "Cinesiologie ou science du movement" declaring the irregularity of physiotherapy and kinesitherapy to dose exercise. Finally, Nils Posse conceived the term "Kinesiology" for the first time in North America in his 1886 publication entitled: "Modification of the Swedish system of gymnastics to meet American conditions". In Chile, evolution of these concepts was assimilated by Joaquín Cabezas García in 1920, the driving force behind the cultivation of Kinesiology at the Institute of Physical Education, providing the professionals who were trained in teaching, with a clear epistemological concept of the science of human movement, by including this discipline in their study plans.

Percepción de los estudiantes de Kinesiología y Fisioterapia sobre la calidad del aula virtual

RESUMEN Introducción: la pandemia de COVID-19 ha hecho que la enseñanza en instituciones de educación superior de casi todo el mundo cambié drásticamente de la modalidad física presencial a la virtual. Objetivo: conocer la percepción que tienen los estudiantes de Kinesiología y Fisioterapia de Paraguay sobre la calidad del aula virtual en el contexto de la pandemia de COVID-19. Metodología: estudio observacional, exploratorio, descriptivo de corte transverso, prospectivo, con muestreo no probabilístico, de casos consecutivos. Un instrumento en línea fue compartido a través de las redes sociales y aplicaciones de mensajería, con el fin de estudiar características sociodemográficas y socioeconómicas, así como aquellas relacionadas a la calidad educativa. Para esto último se utilizó el "Cuestionario de Evaluación de la Calidad de los cursos virtuales de Educación Social, Calidad General del Entorno y de la Metodología Didáctica" de Santoveña Casal. Resultados: 331 estudiantes participaron de la investigación. El 74,62 % fue del sexo femenino con una edad media de 23,06±4,9. El 93,35 % utilizó por primera vez el aula virtual. Respecto a la calidad del aula virtual, el 45,62 % de los participantes manifestó que se presta "algo" de atención al proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y el 47,43 % mencionó que es "algo" eficaz y eficiente. 32,63 % de los participantes respondió que "muy poco" se compensa la inversión económica con la calidad del curso. Conclusión: hoy en día existe un nuevo quehacer en las labores docentes, y donde elementos de la virtualidad han comenzado a utilizarse con el objetivo de no frenar los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje. Nuestra investigación pone de manifiesto que la mayoría de los participantes ha utilizado por primera vez un aula virtual durante esta pandemia y, además, nos permite tener una lectura preliminar sobre la calidad de la misma en estos tiempos tan complejos.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has caused teaching in higher education institutions around the world to drastically change from physical to virtual mode. Objective: To know the perception of Kinesiology and Physiotherapy students in Paraguay about the quality of the virtual classroom in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: observational, exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional, prospective study, with non-probability sampling, of consecutive cases. An online instrument was shared through social networks and messaging applications, in order to study sociodemographic and socioeconomic characteristics, as well as those related to educational quality. For the latter, the "Cuestionario de Evaluación de la Calidad de los cursos virtuales de Educación Social, Calidad General del Entorno y de la Metodología Didáctica" by Santoveña Casal was used. Results: 331 students participated in the research. 74.62% were female with a mean age of 23.06±4.9. 93.35% used the virtual classroom for the first time. Regarding the quality of the virtual classroom, 45.62% of the participants stated that "some" attention is paid to the teaching-learning process and 47.43% mentioned that it is "somewhat" effective and efficient. 32.63% of the participants responded that "very little" is compensated for the economic investment with the quality of the course. Conclusion: Today there is a new task in the teaching work, and where elements of virtuality have begun to be used with the aim of not slowing down the teaching-learning processes. Our research shows that most of the participants have used a virtual classroom for the first time during this pandemic and, in addition, it allows us to have a preliminary reading on the quality of it in these complex times.

In-vivo measurementof the geometric rotation axis of the talocrucial joint during normal gait / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To measure and compare the geometric rotation axis of the talocrucial joint at different poses during the normal gait.Methods:The kinematic data of 15 healthy volunteers, 8 females, 7 males; age, 26.2±5.4 y (range 19-39 y); height, 170.4±6.9 cm (range 160-183 cm); mass, 65.6±14.0 kg (range 52-100 kg). They were collected using the dual-fluoroscopy technique, and the spatial position of the tibia and talus was determined using the 3D-2D registration method. The medial and lateral side of the trochlear of each talus was fitted by two spheres and the geometric rotation axis of the tibiotalar joint was defined as the line connecting the origins of two spheres. Compared the position and orientation of the axis for different poses during the gait and also compared the difference of the radius of the medial and lateral spheres fitting the trochlear of each talus.Results:The radii of the medial spheres fitting the trochlear of each talus 19.52±1.47 mm,were significantly less than that of the lateral spheres 20.62±1.49 ( t=7.081, P<0.05). The averaged anterior-posterior distance between the geometric rotation point of the tibiotalar joint were 1.54±1.84, 1.71±1.69, 1.70±1.57, 1.72±1.62, 1.80±1.75, 1.96±1.86 mm, respectively, while the averaged medial-lateral distance were 0.06±1.84, -0.03±1.83, 0.08±1.83, 0.10±1.73, 0.10±1.47, 0.09±1.46 mm, respectively, and the averaged superior-inferiordistance were -21.92±1.46, -22.10±1.32, -22.10±1.50, -22.06±1.64, -21.93±1.62, -21.98±1.50 mm, respectively. The averaged angle between the geometric rotation axis of the tibiotalar joint and coronal plane were 3.31°±2.48°, 3.10°±2.67°, 3.64°±2.71°, 3.96°±3.19°, 4.28°±2.82°, 4.16°±3.11°, respectively, while the averaged angle between that and sagittal plane were 84.11°± 2.42°, 83.77°±3.19°, 83.77°±3.45°, 83.81°±3.69°, 83.99°±2.97°, 84.23°±3.01°, respectively, and the averaged angle between that and transverse plane were 4.40°±2.93°, 4.54°±3.74°, 3.97°±3.34°, 3.73°±2.49°, 3.78°±2.76°, 4.48°±2.49°, respectively. The position and orientation of the geometrical rotation axis of the tibiotalar joint at different poses during the gait showed no significant difference ( P>0.05). The rotation axis orientated from laterally and inferiorly to medially and superiorly with an averaged inclination angle from the horizontal plane of 3.74° and an averaged deviation angle from the coronal plane of 4.15°. Conclusion:The geometric rotation axis of the tibiotalar joint was fixed during the gait, therefore fitting the talar trochlea with the two-sphere model with a small radius of the medial sphere and a large radius of the lateral sphere may better mimic the kinematics of tibiotalar joint.

Use of High-Flow Nasal Cannula in Users with acute Respiratory Diseases Receiving Hospital at Home / Uso de cánula nasal de alto flujo en usuarios con patologías respiratorias agudas en hospitalizacion domiciliaria

Introduction: Hospital at Home (HAH) is considered an extremely important service, showing great efficacy in the treatment of respiratory diseases. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of high-flow nasal cannulas (HFNCs), describe the experience of patients treated with this therapy as HC and propose a protocol that standardizes the use of this equipment in the context of acute respiratory diseases as home care. Materials and Methods: This was done by means of a quasi-experimental study with patients admitted to HAH between May and September 2019. For the statistical analysis we used Minitab 17.0. Results: 11 subjects met the inclusion criteria, with a mean age of 73 ± 7.8 years. 100% of them (N = 11) had been referred from the emergency service with oxygen requirements. 73.2% (N = 8) were admitted with diseases classified as J15 and J44; 18.1% (N = 2) had diagnosis code J84 and 9% (N = 1) had diagnosis code J46, according to the ICD-10 (International Classification of DiseasesTenth Edition). The mean duration of the HFNC connection was 7.5 ± 5.1 days. We used a mean flow of 35 ± 5.2 L/min, FiO2 of 33 ± 6.1% and a temperature of 32.3 ± 5.1 Degrees Celsius (°C). The clinical signs with statistically significant changes were (Kruskal Wallis, p < 0.05) the BORG Scale, UAM, RR and the SAFI Index. The SpO2 and HR didn't show statistically significant differences. Conclusion: Despite the fact that the number of patients under treatment was low, there are potentially significant effects in parameters of relevance for this type of diseases, and this may serve as a basis for future studies.

Efeito imediato da MWM de Mulligan em pacientes com dor no ombro / MWM Mulligan immediate effect on shoulder pain patients

Introdução: a dor no ombro leva a limitações e incapacidades entre adultos e idosos, merecendo atenção do fisioterapeuta. Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito imediato da técnica de Mulligan em pacientes com dor no ombro. Metodologia: trata-se de resultados preliminares de um ensaio clínico realizado entre julho de 2018 a julho de 2019. Pacientes com dor no ombro (n=44), de ambos os sexos, foram randomizados e submetidos a dois protocolos de tratamento: exercícios terapêuticos (n=22) e MWM de Mulligan (n=22), atendidos na Clínica Escola de Fisioterapia da UFBA. Todos os participantes responderam a um questionário clínico e sociodemográfico e realizaram avaliação da dor pela escala visual analógica (EVA) e algometria. Os pacientes foram tratados por dois fisioterapeutas experientes na área e, depois, foram reavaliados imediatamente. Resultados: mulheres predominaram, a média de idade foi de 56 anos no grupo Mulligan e 57 no grupo exercícios terapêuticos. Síndrome do manguito rotador predominou: 19 (86,4%) no grupo Mulligan e 15 (68%) no grupo exercícios. O ombro mais acometido foi o direito no Grupo Mulligan, (17 (77,3%); já no grupo exercícios, foi o esquerdo com 12 (55%). A cor negra foi a mais autorrelatada pelos pacientes, e poucos tinham o ensino superior completo. No grupo Mulligan, as ocupações mais informadas foram dona de casa, seguida de aposentados e autônomos. No grupo exercícios, não houve dona de casa, e sim mais aposentados e autônomos. Os dois grupos mostraram ser mais sedentários. Não houve diferença da dor pela EVA entre os grupos, antes e após o tratamento (p=0.79, p=0.56, respectivamente). Já a intensidade da dor mensurada pela algometria, tanto antes do tratamento (p=0.008) quanto depois do tratamento (p=0.04), foi diferente entre os grupos, com predomínio de melhora no grupo Exercícios. Conclusão: a MWM não foi mais eficaz que os exercícios terapêuticos na redução da dor do ombro, sendo que o exercício apresentou mais eficácia quando medido através da EVA e sem melhora significativa ao ser mensurada pela algometria após aplicação de uma única sessão de tratamento.

Introduction: shoulder pain leads to limitations and disabilities among adults and the elderly deserving attention from the physiotherapist. Objective: to evaluate the immediate effect of the Mulligan technique in patients with shoulder pain. Methodology: these are preliminary results of a clinical trial conducted from July 2018 to July 2019. Patients (n=44) with shoulder pain of both sexes were randomized and submitted to two treatment protocols: therapeutic exercises (n = 22) and Mulligan's MWM (n = 22) attended at the UFBA School of Physiotherapy Clinic. All participants answered a clinical and sociodemographic questionnaire and underwent pain assessment by visual analog scale (VAS) and algometry. The patients were treated by two experienced physiotherapists and then reassessed immediately. Results: women predominated, the average age was 56 years in the Mulligan group and 57 in the therapeutic exercises group. Rotator cuff syndrome predominated, 19 (86.4%) in the Mulligan group and 15 (68%) in the exercise group. The most affected shoulder was the right shoulder in the Mulligan Group (17 (77.3%), while in the exercise group was the left shoulder with 12 (55%).The black color was the most self-reported by the patients and few patients had higher education. In the Mulligan group the most informed occupations were housewife followed by retirees and self-employed. In the exercise group we had no housewife but more retired and self-employed. The two groups were more sedentary. There was no difference in VAS pain between the groups before and after treatment (p = 0.79, p = 0.56, respectively), while pain intensity measured by algometry both before treatment (p = 0.008) and after treatment (p = 0.04) was different between Conclusion: Mulligan's MWM was not more effective than exercise in reducing shoulder pain, and exercise was more effective when measured by VAS and without significant improvement when measured by algometry after applying a single treatment session.

Recomendaciones para la implementación de soporte respiratorio pediátrico en COVID-19. Kinesiología Intensiva y Terapia Respiratoria Pediátrica de Chile / Recommendations for the implementation of pediatric respiratory support in COVID-19. Intensive Kinesiology and Respiratory Therapy Chilean

Resumen: De acuerdo a la información disponible, los pacientes pediátricos con COVID-19 tendrían una me nor frecuencia, se presentarían en su mayoría con un cuadro clínico de leve a moderado, y con una baja tasa de morbimortalidad asociada5. Sin embargo, es incierto el comportamiento real que tendrá el SARS-CoV-2 en Chile, así como tampoco sabemos el impacto que tendrá su interacción con otros virus respiratorios en el desenlace clínico. Asumiendo que los pacientes pediátricos que requieran hospitalización por sospecha o confirmación de COVID-19 necesitarán de diferentes niveles de so porte respiratorio, hemos elaborado recomendaciones transversales fundamentadas en el óptimo manejo del apoyo respiratorio pediátrico, basados en los principios de calidad y eficiencia en la en trega del soporte, en parámetros de bioseguridad y en el uso apropiado de recursos6. Estos elementos que se encuentran relacionados al armado y filtrado de los aerosoles producidos por algunos equipos de soporte ventilatorio, son recomendados en esta guía con el fin de unificar criterios técnicos que permitan entregar un apoyo óptimo al paciente pediátrico, manteniendo la mayor bioseguridad po sible para el paciente y el equipo de salud.

Abstract: According to the available information, pediatric cases of COVID-19 would present less frequently, most of them with mild to moderate clinical picture, and low associated morbidity and mortality5. However, we do not know the actual behavior that SARS-CoV-2 will have in Chile, nor the impact that its interaction with other respiratory viruses will have on the clinical outcome. On the assump tion that pediatric patients requiring hospitalization due to suspicion or confirmation of COVID-19 will need different levels of respiratory support, we have developed wide-range recommendations based on the optimal management of pediatric respiratory support according to the principles of quality and efficiency in the delivery of support, biosafety parameters, and appropriate use of resou rces6. These elements, which are related to assembling and filtering the aerosols produced by some respiratory support equipment, are recommended in this guide in order to unify technical criteria that allow optimal support for the pediatric patient while maintaining the highest possible biosafety for the patient and the health team.

Accuracy of the Applied Kinesiology Muscle Strength Test for Sacroiliac Dysfunction / Acurácia do teste de força muscular da cinesiologia aplicada para disfunção sacroilíaca

Abstract Objective To investigate the accuracy of the applied kinesiology muscle strength test for sacroiliac dysfunction and compared it with four validated orthopedic tests. Methods This is a cross-sectional accuracy survey developed at a private practice in the city of Manaus, Brazil, during February 2017. The sample consisted of 20 individuals, with a median age of 33.5 years. Four tests were applied: distraction, thigh thrust, compression and sacral thrust, and the diagnosis was confirmed when three of these tests were positive. Soon after, the applied kinesiology test was applied to the piriformis muscle. Results The prevalence of sacroiliac joint dysfunction was of 45%; the thigh thrust test had the highest specificity, and the sacral thrust test had the highest sensitivity. The applied kinesiology test presented good results (sensitivity: 0.89; specificity: 0.82; positive predictive value: 0.80; negative predictive value: 0.82; accuracy: 0.85; and area under the receiver operating characteristic [ROC] curve: 0.85). Conclusion The applied kinesiology muscle strength test, which has great clinical feasibility, showed good accuracy in diagnosing sacroiliac joint dysfunction and greater discriminatory power for the existing dysfunction in comparison to other tests.

Estudio trasversal de empatía con el paciente en estudiantes de kinesiología / Cross-sectional study of empathy with the patient in kinesiology students

Introducción:La empatía es un importante atributo que deben tener todos los profesionales de la salud y los aspectos asociados a su enseñanza constituyen un problema aún no resuelto en estudiantes de ciencias de la salud en general.Objetivo:Evaluar el comportamiento empático y el de sus componentes o dimensiones en los estudiantes de kinesiología de la Universidad Bernardo OHiggins de Santiago de Chile.Métodos:Estudio exploratorio, no experimental y transversal. Los datos fueron obtenidos mediante la aplicación de la escala de empatía médica de Jefferson, adaptada para estudiantes de kinesiología mediante criterio de jueces, y que fueron sometidos a estimaciones de confiabilidad, mediante α de Cronbach y correlación intraclase, y procesados a través de análisis de varianza bifactorial (modelo III) con el objeto de evaluar las variables de interés y su posible interacción. Además, se estimó el tamaño del efecto, la potencia de la prueba, y se calcularon la media y la desviación estándar para cada variable analizada. El nivel de significación fue α ≤ 0,05 y ß ≥ 0,80.Resultados:Se encontró que los niveles de empatía fueron relativamente bajos y esta se mantuvo constante, con una declinación en el quinto año.Conclusiones:El modelo de declinación empática no se cumplió y se encontraron diferencias entre los géneros. Las características señaladas constituyen el diagnóstico de la situación empática. Tales especificidades deben ser consideradas en cualquier estrategia destinada a elevar los niveles de empatía y constituye una guía para planificar una intervención(AU)

Introduction:Empathy is an important attribute that all health professionals must have. The aspects associated with its being taught constitute a problem not yet solved in students of health sciences in general.Objective:To evaluate empathic behavior and that of its components or dimensions in Kinesiology students at Bernardo OHiggins University in Santiago de Chile.Methods:Exploratory, non-experimental and cross-sectional study. The data were obtained by applying the Jefferson Scale of Medical Empathy scale, adapted for Kinesiology students by using the criteria of judges and which were subjected to reliability estimates, by using Cronbach's α and intraclass correlation, and processed through analysis of two-factor variance (model III), in order to evaluate the variables of interest and their possible interaction. In addition, the effect size and the power of the test were estimated, and mean and standard deviations were calculated for each variable analyzed. The level of significance was α≤0.05 and ß≥0.80. Results:Empathy levels were found to be relatively low and remained constant, with a decline in the fifth academic year.Conclusions:The empathic decline model was not fulfilled and differences were found between the genders. The characteristics observed constitute the diagnosis of the empathic situation. Such specificities must be considered in any strategy aimed at raising empathy levels and constitutes a guide for planning an intervention(AU)
