ABSTRACT
The performance and the satisfaction of the patient were quantitatively compared with the use of the volar dorsal orthosis in order to position the spastic hand. Thirty patients wearing the orthosis for eight hours daily were evaluated by the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure and the box and blocks test, for a three-month period. Five activities were selected (among daily life activities, productive activities, and leisure activities) by the patients, which were impaired by spasticity. There was an improvement related to performance after use of orthosis, with an average of 1.4±0.5 to 6.3±0.8 (p<0.01). Patient satisfaction average after wearing the orthosis was of 1.7±0.4 to 6.3±0.6 (p<0.01). In this casuistic, the use of orthosis for wrist and finger spasticity has shown an improvement in the functional performance and patient satisfaction.
RESUMO
Comparou-se quantitativamente o desempenho e a satisfação do paciente com o uso da órtese dorsal volar para posicionamento da mão espástica. Foram analisados 30 pacientes que fizeram uso da órtese por 8 horas diárias, avaliados por meio da Medida Canadense de Desempenho Ocupacional e teste caixa e blocos, no intervalo de 3 meses. Foram selecionadas 5 atividades (entre as atividades de vida diária, produtivas e de lazer) pelos pacientes que estavam comprometidas pela espasticidade. Obteve-se melhora em relação ao desempenho após o uso da órtese, com média de 1,4±0,5 para 6,3±0,8 (p<0,01). Quanto à média da satisfação foi de 1,7±0,4 para 6,3±0,6 (p<0,01) com o uso da órtese. Nesta casuística, o uso da órtese de punho e dedos para espasticidade apresentou melhora no desempenho funcional e satisfação do paciente.
