RESUMO
Os efeitos da prática de exercícios sobre a funcionalidade de indivíduos com Paraparesia Espástica Tropical/Mielopatia Associada ao HTLV-1 (PET/MAH) são desconhecidos. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar os efeitos de um Programa de Exercícios Domiciliares (PED) e a sua taxa de adesão em indivíduos com PET/MAH.

Métodos:

Vinte e três participantes com o diagnóstico de PET/MAH, marcha preservada e que não praticavam exercícios há pelo menos um mês foram submetidos ao PED de 20 semanas. Os desfechos primários incluíram os escores de força muscular, contração isométrica voluntária máxima (CIVM) e comprimento muscular dos membros inferiores, dor lombar e nos membros inferiores, EDSS, Escala de Incapacidade do IPEC, Índice de Barthel e SF-36. A taxa de adesão e os eventos adversos também foram mensurados e caracterizados.

Resultados:

No momento da análise os pacientes foram divididos em dois grupos de acordo com o teste Timed Up and Go (TUG) (<20s vs maior ou igual 20s). O comprimento dos músculos isquiotibiais e plantiflexores, a CIVM dos membros inferiores e o componente Aspectos Sociais da SF-36 apresentaram melhora significativa no grupo TUG <20s. Os indivíduos do grupo TUG maior ou igual 20s melhoraram significativamente o componente Capacidade Funcional da SF-36. A taxa de adesão foi de 90 por cento no total e os eventos adversos, como fadiga, dor muscular e caimbras foram de intensidade leve a moderada. Discussão Foi observada uma boa adesão ao PED, além de melhora significativa da incapacidade e da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com PET/MAH. É possível que o grupo TUG maior ou igual 20s apresente um maior componente neurodegenerativo e, portanto, uma menor probabilidade de incremento da funcionalidade.

Conclusões:

O PED foi eficaz em melhorar algumas incapacidades e a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos com PET/MAH...
ABSTRACT
The effect of exercises on functioning in Tropical Spastic Paraparesis/HTLV-1 Associated Myelopathy (TSP/HAM) individuals is unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a home-based exercise program and its adherence in TSP/HAM individuals.

Methods:

Twenty-three TSP/HAM ambulators participants that did not practice any kind of exercise for at least one month were submitted to a 20-week home-based exercise program. Primary outcomes included lower limb muscular strength scores, maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC) and muscle length, low back and lower limb pain, EDSS, IPEC Disability Scale, Barthel Index and SF-36. Adherence and adverse effects were also measured and characterized.

Results:

At analysis the participants were divided in two groups according to Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) (<20s vs greater than or equal to 20s). Muscle length of hamstrings and ankle flexors; hip flexors and total score of lower limb MVIC and the social functioning domain in SF-36 improved significantly in TUG <20s group. The individuals in the TUG greater than or equal to 20s group improved significantly the physical functioning domain in SF-36. The total adherence to the 20-weekhome-based exercise program was 90 percent. There were mild to moderate adverse events, like fatigue, muscle soreness and cramp.

Discussion:

There was a very good adherence to the home-based exercise program, besidesimprovements in disabilities and quality of life in TSP/HAM participants. It is possible that TUG greater than or equal to 20s group has a worse neurodegenerative component and then a lower probability tofunctioning increments.

Conclusions:

The home-based exercise program was effective in improving disabilities andquality of life in individuals with TSP/HAM. Those results reinforce the need for alternative strategies to face-to-face model that improve participation of these people to rehabilitationprograms...
