ABSTRACT

Objetivo: O estudo objetivou traçar um perfil neuropsicológico breve de pacientes com amputação maior de membros inferiores por etiologia vascular e investigar a existência de correlações dos aspectos cognitivos com fatores sociodemográficos e clínicos. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal descritivo, realizado em um centro de reabilitação física de São Paulo - Brasil, em que foram aplicados: um instrumento de avaliação neuropsicológica breve (Neupsilin), um questionário de caracterização da amostra próprio e a Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar (HAD). Resultados: O desempenho cognitivo foi pior em funções que requerem habilidades aritméticas (42,2% dos pacientes com desempenho abaixo do esperado); percepção (46,3% dos pacientes abaixo do esperado); funções executivas, notadamente nas tarefas praxia construtiva (40,6% abaixo do esperado) e fluência verbal (35,9% abaixo do esperado), e linguagem (31,2% abaixo do esperado). Conclusão: O perfil cognitivo dos pacientes deste estudo revelou dificuldades relevantes das funções cognitivas avaliadas, especialmente em funções diretamente relacionadas à funcionalidade do paciente.


Objective: To describe the neuropsychological profile of patients with major lower limb amputation and to investigate the existence of correlations between these cognitive aspects, socio-demographic and clinical aspects. Method: This is a cross-sectional, analytic, descriptive study carried out at an outpatient rehabilitation center. The instruments used were Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), a brief neuropsychological assessment instrument (Neupsilin) along with a questionnaire to characterize the sample. Results: Cognitive performance was worse in functions that require arithmetic skills (42,2% of the patients underperformed); perception (46,3% underperformed); executive functions, notably in constructive praxis (40,6% underperformed) and verbal fluency (35,9% underperformed) and language (31,2% underperformed). The best performances were in spacial orientation (92,2% performed as expected) and verbal memory (87,5% performed as expected). Conclusion: The cognitive profile of these patients revealed alterations in most of the assessed cognitive functions, especially in functions directly related to functionalities of the patient.

ABSTRACT

This is a case report of a 55-year-old woman who was treated with a hemicorporectomy consequent to an invasive undifferentiated sacral chordoma. We describe the clinical course and rehabilitation process in an amputee outpatient clinic and report outcome measures such as the modified Functional Reach Test, the Amputee Mobility Predictor, the Functional Independence Measure, and the Short-Form Health Survey after 9 months of rehabilitation.
