RESUMO
No Brasil, as causas externas são responsáveis por grande número de incapacidades. A maioria das pesquisas tem dado ênfase à mortalidade e à demanda de atendimentos hospitalares, pouco se sabendo sobre a evolução das vítimas não fatais. O objetivo do presente estudo foi conhecer o perfil das vítimas e as características das lesões por causas externas, o tratamento fisioterapêutico e a evolução funcional de pacientes atendidos em um centro público de reabilitação. Os dados foram colhidos, prospectivamente, por entrevistas com os pacientes que ingressaram no Centro de Reabilitação Municipal (CEREM) de Uberlândia, de janeiro a julho de 2005. A maioria dos pacientes era do sexo masculino e predominaram aqueles de 20 a 59 anos, com baixas renda e escolaridade; as principais causas das lesões foram as quedas e os acidentes de trânsito; quase a metade dos eventos ocorreram em vias públicas e as fraturas foram comuns, principalmente em membros superiores. Os recursos fisioterapêuticos mais utilizados foram a cinesioterapia, a eletroterapia e a termoterapia por adição, e a maioria dos tratamentos iniciados foi concluída. O perfil dos pacientes que procuram o CEREM devido a lesões por causas externas parece refletir, sobretudo, aquele das pessoas que sofrem tais lesões. Recursos fisioterapêuticos relativamente simples mostraram-se suficientes para uma boa evolução dos pacientes.
ABSTRACT
In Brazil, external causes are responsible for many disabilities. Most research has emphasized the mortality and the demand for hospital treatment, and little is known about the evolution of non-fatal injuries. The objective of this study was to identify the profile of victims and the characteristics of injuries from external causes, physical therapy and functional evolution of patients treated in a public rehabilitation center. Data were prospectively collected by interviews with patients who entered the Municipal Rehabilitation Center (CEREM) of Uberlândia, from January to July 2005. Most patients were male and predominated those from 20 to 59 years old, with low income and education. The main causes of injury were falls and traffic accidents, almost half of the events occurred on public roads, and fractures were common, especially in upper limbs. The resources most frequently used were physiotherapeutic kinesiotherapy, electrotherapy and thermotherapy by addition, and most treatments started was completed. The profile of patients that seeking CEREM due to injuries from external causes may reflect, above all, that people who suffer such injuries. Simple physiotherapy resources showed to be enough for a good outcome.
