ABSTRACT
Objetivo: Os autores apresentam um caso de neurofibromatose, com múltiplos neurofibromas nos plexos lombar e sacral. Material e Métodos: Relato de caso de Neurofibromatose de plexo lombar. A tomografia demonstrou lesões hipoatenuantes acometendo as regiões supracitadas. Conclusão: o diagnóstico diferencial deve ser feito com linfoadenopatias ou abscessos, sendo que, a RMN foi útil para a melhor caracterização dos neurofibromas e diagnóstico diferencial
Objective: The author report a case of neurofibromatosis with multiple plexiform neurofibromes in lombar and sacral plexus. Method: Case report of plexus neurofibromatosis. Computed tomography showed markedly hypodense lesions involving both plexus, wich could mimic other diseases. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging was useful to better evaluate the extension of neurofibromas
ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate reliability and feasibility of the Motor Learning Strategy Rating Instrument (MLSRI) in children with acquired brain injury (ABI). The MLSRI quantifies the extent to which motor learning strategies (MLS) are used within physiotherapy (PT) interventions. METHODS: PT sessions conducted by ABI team physiotherapists with a convenience sample of children with ABI (4-18 years) were videotaped and independently scored later by two raters trained in MLSRI use. Intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) estimated intra- and inter-rater reliability. RESULTS: Eighteen PT sessions were evaluated. Intra- and inter-rater reliability ICCs for total score were 0.86 (95% CI: 0.66-0.94) and 0.50 (95% CI: 0.08-0.78), respectively. MLSRI category ICCs were 0.56-0.86 (intra-rater) and 0.16-0.84 (inter-rater). CONCLUSIONS: Intra-rater reliability of MSLRI total score was excellent. Moderate inter-rater reliability may partially be due to inconsistent item interpretation between raters. Revisions and further reliability testing are required before recommending the MLSRI for clinical and research use.
