ABSTRACT

Introducción: La valoración de la capacidad tusígena se realiza con la medición del flujo espiratorio máximo durante la tos (peak-flow tos [PFT]). Sin embargo, esta valoración podría alterarse por enfermedades con obstrucción espiratoria de la vía aérea. El objetivo fue valorar la medición de la capacidad tusígena mediante PFT en pacientes con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC), así como las correlaciones con la función pulmonar, muscular respiratoria y orofaríngea. Métodos: Se seleccionaron los pacientes con EPOC y con enfermedad neuromuscular, así como los sujetos sanos a los que se había realizado una medición de la fuerza de los músculos respiratorios de forma asistencial. De esta población, se analizaron los valores de la función respiratoria, así como la fuerza muscular orofaríngea. En un subgrupo de pacientes con EPOC se realizó el estudio de deglución por videofluoroscopia. Resultados: Se incluyeron 307 sujetos (59,3% EPOC, 38,4% enfermedades neuromusculares y 2,3% sanos). En el grupo EPOC, el PFT se encontraba disminuido de forma estadísticamente significativa comparado tanto con el grupo de los sanos como con los enfermos neuromusculares. El 70% de los EPOC tenían una disminución patológica del PFT. Solamente, existía una correlación directa entre el PFT con el grado de obstrucción bronquial y la fuerza de los músculos espiratorios. No se encontró alteración de la función de los músculos inspiratorios ni orofaríngeos. Conclusiones: La utilización del PFT en los pacientes con EPOC no refleja la capacidad tusígena ya que se ve influenciada por el grado de obstrucción bronquial. Por tanto, se deberían valorar nuevas pruebas diagnósticas para la medición de la capacidad tusígena, fundamentalmente, en los pacientes que coexistan enfermedades neuromusculares y patología obstructiva bronquial grave.(AU)


Introduction: Cough capacity is assessed by measuring cough peak flow (CPF). However, this assessment could be altered by obstructive airway diseases. The aim was to assess measurement of cough capacity by CPF in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as correlations with pulmonary, respiratory muscle, and oropharyngeal function. Methods: Patients with COPD, and with neuromuscular disease, were selected as well as healthy subjects who had undergone respiratory muscle strength measurement in a healthcare setting. From this population, respiratory function values and lung and oropharyngeal muscle function were analysed. A subgroup of COPD patients underwent a videofluoroscopic swallow study. Results: Three hundred and seven subjects were included (59.3% COPD, 38.4% neuromuscular diseases, and 2.3% healthy). CPF was found to be statistically significantly decreased in the COPD group compared to both the healthy and neuromuscular disease groups. Of the COPD patients, 70% had a pathological decrease in CPF. There was only a direct correlation between CPF with the degree of bronchial obstruction and expiratory muscle strength. No alteration of inspiratory or oropharyngeal muscle function was found. Conclusions: The use of CPF in COPD patients does not reflect cough capacity as it is influenced by the degree of bronchial obstruction. Therefore, new diagnostic tests to measure cough capacity should be considered, especially in patients with coexisting neuromuscular diseases and severe bronchial obstructive disease.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Existe poca información sobre los resultados funcionales y cognitivos a largo plazo en pacientes con hemorragia subaracnoidea aneurismática (HSA). El objetivo principal fue evaluar la situación cognitiva, funcional, anímica y la calidad de vida en personas con HSA a largo plazo. Pacientes y método: Estudio de corte transversal de una cohorte de 40 pacientes (edad media 58,2 [DE 9,9] años) con HSA ingresados en la unidad de Rehabilitación neurológica entre enero del 2010 a julio del 2017. Variables de resultado: estado cognitivo (cuestionario de Pfeiffer), nivel funcional (índice de Barthel), depresión (escala de Hamilton) y calidad de vida (European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions [EQ-5D]), así como las terapias de rehabilitación realizadas en un seguimiento mínimo de seis meses post-HSA. Resultados: De 35 pacientes con alteraciones cognitivas en fase aguda, solo 12 realizaron terapia cognitiva tras el alta hospitalaria. En el seguimiento a largo plazo, los déficits cognitivos persistían en 22 casos, y en comparación con el resto, presentaban peores puntuaciones en el índice de Barthel (15,5 [IC 95% 1,2 a 29,7]), la escala de Hamilton (-0,8 [IC 95% -1,27 a -0,37]), y la EQ-5D (27,6 [IC 95% 12,4 a 19]). Conclusión: La prevalencia de déficits cognitivos a largo plazo en supervivientes de una HSA es alta y su presencia se relaciona con un peor estado funcional, más depresión y peor calidad de vida. El bajo porcentaje de individuos que realizan terapia cognitiva en su proceso de rehabilitación junto con las repercusiones clínicas observadas apoyan la necesidad de incluir las terapias neurocognitivas en los programas de rehabilitación de las HSA.(AU)


Objective: Little data is available on long-term functional and cognitive outcomes in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (ASH). The main objective of this study was to assess cognition, functional state, mood disorders, and quality of life in patients with SAH at least six months following the ASH. Patients and methods: Cross-sectional study of 40 patients (aged 58.2 [SD 9.9] years) with ASH, discharged from a Neurologic Rehabilitation unit between January 2010 and July 2017. Main outcome variables: functional status (Barthel index), cognition (Pfeiffer questionnaire), depression (Hamilton scale), and health-related quality of life (European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions [EQ-5D]), as well as type and duration of therapeutic rehabilitation procedures after discharge. Results: From 35 patients with cognitive disorders, only 12 received cognitive therapy at hospital discharge. In the long-term follow-up, cognitive impairment persisted in 22 patients. When compared with those without cognitive impairment, they presented significantly worse mean differences in the Barthel index (15.5 [95% CI: 1.2-29.7]), Hamilton scale (-0.8 [95% CI: -1.27 to -0.37]), and EQ-5D (27.6 [95% CI: 12.4-19]). Conclusion: The prevalence of long-term cognitive impairments in survivors of a SAH episode is high, and their presence is associated with worse functional status, more depression and worse quality of life. The low percentage of subjects who received cognitive therapies through their recovery process and the clinical implications observed, support the need of including neuropsychological therapies in the rehabilitation programs after an SAH event.(AU)

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Stroke can lead to varying degrees of oropharyngeal dysphagia, respiratory muscle dysfunction and even increase medical complications such as aspiration, malnutrition and death. Recent studies suggest that inspiratory and expiratory respiratory muscle training (IEMT) can improve swallowing efficacy and may reduce aspiration events. The main purpose of this study is to examine whether an 8-week IEMT programme can improve respiratory muscle strength and swallow dysfunction severity in subacute stroke patients with dysphagia. METHODS: Retornus-2 is a two-arm, prospectively registered, randomized controlled study with blinded assessors and the participation of fifty individuals who have suffered a stroke. The intervention group undergoes IEMT training consisting of 5 sets of 10 repetitions, three times a day for 8 weeks. Training loads increase weekly. The control group undergoes a sham-IEMT protocol. The primary outcome examines the efficacy of the IEMT protocol to increase respiratory muscle strength and reduce dysphagia severity. The secondary outcome assesses the longitudinal impact of dysphagia on body composition and nutritional assessment over a 6-month follow-up. DISCUSSION: IEMT induces an improvement in respiratory muscle strength and might be associated with relevant benefits in dysphagia patterns, as well as a reduction in the number of aspiration events confirmed by videofluoroscopy or fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. The description of the impact of swallowing impairment on nutritional status will help develop new strategies to face this known side-effect. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov NCT03021252.

ABSTRACT

Introducción. La presencia de disfagia condiciona complicaciones como la desnutrición, deshidratación, neumonía e incluso la muerte del paciente, repercutiendo en los costes sanitarios. Existen métodos de detección precoz de la disfagia basados en signos clínicos y métodos instrumentados que pueden aplicarse en la cabecera del enfermo. Objetivos. Determinar la utilidad del la valoración de Signos Clínicos y del Método de Exploración Clínica de Volumen-Viscosidad (MECV-V) y evaluar su eficiencia para detectar la broncoaspiración en la fase aguda y subaguda del ictus. Pacientes y métodos. Estudio retrospectivo de una cohorte de 79 pacientes. Se comparan los parámetros clínicos y el MECV-V con los resultados objetivados con la videofluoroscopia (VFC). Se calculan las variables que determinan la fiabilidad y el valor global de un método diagnóstico: sensibilidad, especificidad y valores predictivos. Resultados. Los signos clínicos para detectar disfagia grave (aspiración) obtuvimos una sensibilidad del 69% y una especificidad del 28,8%, El MECV-V detectó aspiración con una sensibilidad del 100% y una especificidad del 13,6%. El valor predictivo negativo fue respectivamente del 62,5 y 100%, la eficiencia diagnóstica fue de 0,38 y del 0,44% respectivamente. Conclusión. La valoración del paciente disfágico basado en los datos de exploración clínica y el MECV-V resulta en un cribaje de bajo coste, de fácil aplicación y muy sensible. El MECV-V presenta mayor sensibilidad, especificidad y eficiencia, permitiendo ajustar dietas precozmente y decidir si precisa de una valoración instrumentada (AU)


Introduction. The presence of dysphagia has been associated to dehydration, nutritional disorders, pneumonia and even death of the patient, this having an affect on the health care costs. There are methods to detect dysphagia early based on evaluation of the clinical signs and methods that can be used at the bedside of the patient. Objectives. To determine the utility of the evaluation of the clinical signs (CS) and the volume-viscosity test (V-VST) and evaluate their efficacy to detect risk of aspiration in the acute and subacute phase of stroke. Patients and method. A retrospective evaluation of a cohort of 79 stroke patients was performed. We compared the clinical signs and V-VST with the results observed with the videofluoroscopy (VFC). The variables that determine accuracy and overall value of a diagnostic method, that is, sensitivity, specificity, and positive (PPV) and negative (NPP) predictive values, were calculated. Results. A sensitivity of 69% and specificity of 28.8% was obtained for the Clinical Signs to detect severe dysphagia (Aspiration). V-VST detected aspiration with 100% sensitivity and 13.6% specificity. NPP was 62.5% and 100%, respectively. Diagnostic accuracy was 0.38 for clinical signs and 0.48 for V-VST. Conclusion. Using CS and V-VST for the evaluation of the dysphagic patient is a low-cost screening method that is easy to apply and highly sensitive. The V-VST offers a higher sensitivity, specificity and accuracy and makes it possible to modify the diet early and to decide whether instrumental assessment is indicated (AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Valoración isocinética, peak torque (PT) y set total work (STW), en pacientes con ruptura de cofia rotadora del hombro antes y después de la reparación quirúrgica. Material y métodos. Se ha realizado un estudio prospectivo con una muestra de 20 pacientes con ruptura de cofia rotadora antes y después de la intervención quirúrgica. Todos los pacientes fueron intervenidos por el mismo cirujano ortopédico, realizándose reparación de la cofia y acromioplastia anteroinferior, y fueron valorados mediante la prueba de isocinesia y la prueba de Constant. Se realizó un análisis estadístico mediante la prueba de Wilcoxon con p < 0,05. Resultados. En 19 pacientes encontramos una mejoría de la prueba de Constant post-quirúrgica estadísticamente significativa. También, valores estadísticamente significativos para la PT y STW de rotadores internos entre extremidad afecta pre y post-cirugía, confirmando la mejoría después de la pauta de rehabilitación post-cirugía. Se obtuvieron valores estadísticamente significativos para la pérdida de fuerza en el PT de los rotadores externos de la extremidad afecta pre y post-cirugía confirmando la falta de recuperación de la fuerza del grupo muscular afectado después de la intervención. Los valores estadísticamente significativos obtenidos para el PT y STW, comparando la extremidad sana con la operada para los rotadores externos, confirman que el hallazgo de pérdida de fuerza no es debido al azar. Conclusiones. Los pacientes operados de ruptura de cofia rotadora mejoran su calidad de vida después de la intervención quirúrgica debido a la disminución del dolor, no a la recuperación de fuerza de la extremidad afectada a los 6 meses de la intervención


Objectives. Analyze the isokinetic results, peak torque (PT) and set total work (STW), in rotator cuff lesions before and after surgical repair. Material and methods. A prospective study was conducted on a sample of 20 patients with rotator cuff rupture before and after surgical repair. All the patients were operated by the same surgeon who performed an acromioplasty and rotator cuff repair. All the sample was evaluated with an isokinetic test, performed by a Cybex Norm II dynamometer, before and 6 month after surgical repair, after following a shoulder rehabilitation protocol. We also studied the sample with the Constant test, before and after surgical repair. The statistic analysis was performed with the SPSS program, Wilcoxon test p < 0.05. Results. We found a statistically significant improvement in the post-repair Constant's test results in 19 patients. There were also statistically significant results for internal rotators PT and STW in the involved arm before and after surgical repair. This implies a good shoulder rehabilitation program. Statistically significant results for external rotators PT for the involved arm before and after surgery were obtained. Lack of recovery of strength in the muscular group involved after surgery was confirmed. The statistically significant results obtained for external rotators PT and STW when the health limb was compared with that operated on for the external rotators confirmed that the finding of loss of strength was not due to chance. Conclusions. Patients with cuff-rotator repair improve their quality life because of pain decrease and not due to strength recovery at six months of the operation

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Valorar la nueva estructura endoesquelética de carbono en 3 pacientes de la población amputada de nuestra área y comparar los resultados funcionales con las estructuras tradicionales de aluminio. Métodos. Realizamos un estudio prospectivo con una muestra de 3 pacientes amputados tibiales de etiología vascular. Todos los pacientes realizaron una pauta preprotésica y de adaptación a la prótesis provisional. Se prescribió de forma aleatoria, la prótesis provisional de estructura de carbono o aluminio que el paciente llevó durante 15 días. Al final de este período se pasaron las pruebas de evaluación y se repitió el mismo proceso con la otra estructura. Las pruebas utilizadas para la valoración funcional fueron plataformas IBV para análisis de la marcha humana, valores temporales de la marcha(VTM), índice de capacidad motriz (Test PPA) y el test de Day. Resultados. Dos pacientes optaron por la nueva estructura endoesquelética. Encontramos una disminución de los VTM respecto a la población no amputada y un menor diferencial con la prótesis de carbón. En el test de Day se obtuvieron valores pertenecientes a un rango de actividad media en ambos grupos y una leve mejoría en el índice de capacidad motriz con una marcha más simétrica en los valores de las plataformas para la prótesis de estructura de carbono. Conclusiones. No se ha podido realizar estudio estadístico de los resultados, aunque estos sugieren una mejora de la marcha con la prótesis de carbono, esta está pensada para pacientes con movilidad reducida. Es necesario la realización de un estudio más amplio para obtener resultados concluyentes


Objectives. To evaluate the new carbon endoskeletal prosthetic structure in 3 amputee patients in our area and to compare the functional results with traditional aluminum structures. Methods. We realised a prospective study with a sample of three transfemoral amputated patients with vascular etiology. All the patients followed a pre-prosthetic training to achieve good adaptation to the provisional prosthesis. Randomly, each patient was given the provisional either carbon or aluminium prosthesis for 15 days. After this period, they changed to the other prosthesis, which they also wore for another15 days. At the end of both periods, evaluation tests were carried out. The tests used for the functional value are IBV platforms for Human Gait Analysis, Gait Temporary Values(GTV), Motor Ability Index (from Amputee Prosthetic Profile Test) and Day’s Test. Results. Two patients chose the new endoskeletal structure. We found a decrease in GTV with regard to not amputated population and fewer differences with the carbon prosthesis. Values belonging to a medium activity range were obtained in all groups in Day’s Test. There was also a slight improvement in Motor Ability Index, which was better for the carbon prosthesis. As for platforms values, a more symmetrical gait with the carbon structure is deduced. Conclusions. A statistical study has not been able to be carried out. However, they suggest an improvement in the gait with the carbon prosthesis. The carbon prosthesis is indicated in patients with reduced mobility. A more extensive study is necessary to confirm the results seen in this one

ABSTRACT

Objetivos. Valorar la capacidad funcional de los pacientes a los que se ha implantado una prótesis total de rodilla al finalizar el tratamiento rehabilitador mediante una prueba isocinética y valorar la utilidad de éste como método complementario en el seguimiento de estos pacientes. Material y método. Se recogió una muestra de 16 pacientes de edades comprendidas entre los 61 y los 78 años, a los que se había implantado una prótesis total de rodilla, tras finalizar el tratamiento rehabilitador. Se comparó con un grupo control de 16 sujetos. Utilizamos un dinamómetro isocinético CYBEX NORM II. La prueba se realizó en régimen concéntrico, valorándose la fuerza máxima (peak torque), el conjunto del trabajo total(set total work), el ángulo de la fuerza y el cociente flexión/extensión de la fuerza, a velocidades angulares de 120 y 180°/s. Resultados. Se encontraron diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p 0,05) para el resto de los ángulos de fuerza máxima ni para las ratioflexión/extensión de fuerza máxima. Conclusiones. La valoración isocinética demuestra que estos pacientes presentan una pérdida de fuerza tanto de flexión como de extensión. La isocinesia es un método complementario útil para la valoración de estos pacientes; incluso puede ser útil para la adecuación individual de un protocolo establecido de rehabilitación, según las necesidades de cada paciente en cada etapa de tratamiento


Objectives. Assess the functional capacity of the patients who have received a total knee arthroplasty at the end of the rehabilitation treatment using an isokinetic test and assess the utility of this test as a complementary method in the follow-up of these patients. Material and method. We gathered a sample of 16 patients, whose ages ranged from 61 to 78 years, who have received a total knee arthroplasty, after finish the rehabilitation treatment. We compared this group with a control group of 16 subjects. We used a CYBEX NORM II isokinetic dynamometer. The test was performed in concentric regimen, assessing the Peak Torque, the Set Total Work, the angle of the Peak Torque and the ratio flexion/extension of the Peak Torque, with angular speeds of 120°/s. and 180°/s. Results. We found statistically significant differences (p 0,05) for the rest of the angles of Peak Torque and neither for the ratios flexion/extension of the Peak Torque. Conclusions. The isokinetic evaluation shows that these patients present a loss of strength for the flexion and also for the extension. The isokinetic test is an useful complementary method for the assessment of these patients; even it can be useful for an individual adaptation of an established protocol of rehabilitation, according to the different needs of each patient in each stage of the treatment

ABSTRACT

Objetivos: Analizar los resultados isocinéticos en lesiones de cofia rotadora del hombro y la búsqueda de patrones isocinéticos que tengan correlación con la lesión anatómica confirmada por RM. Material y método: Recogimos una muestra de 25 pacientes (15 hombres y 10 mujeres) de edades comprendidas entre los 42 y los 70 años, todos ellos con criterios clínicos de lesión de cofia rotadora, confirmada posteriormente con un estudio por imagen (RM) con secuencias en SE T2 y FFE T2 en los tres planos del espacio a nivel del hombro afecto. La etiología era degenerativa en todos los casos. Este grupo lo hemos comparado con un grupo control de 25 sujetos. Hemos utilizado un dinamómetro isocinético CYBEX NORM II. El test se realizó en sedestación, con el tronco fijado y el brazo en el plano de la escápula (anteflexión de 30° y abdución de 45°), siempre en régimen concéntrico, valorándose la fuerza (Peak torque) y el conjunto del trabajo total (Set Total Work) de rotación externa y rotación interna, y a velocidades angulares de 90° y 180°.Análisis estadístico con programa SPSS, Test de Mann-Whitney y test de Wilcoxon. Resultados: Grupo control-grupo afecto: Diferencia estadisticamente significativa (p < 0,05) para peak torque y set total Work.Grupo control-grupo afecto por sexos p < 0,05 para peak toeque y set total work. Conclusiones: El test isocinético es una prueba útil para valorar la pérdida de fuerza en lesiones de cofia rotadora. No hemos encontrado un patrón característico para las distintas lesiones de cofia rotadora. Hemos apreciado una disminución global de fuerza en el grupo antagonista (AU)
