ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Child development is a period of progressive and complex transformations related to growth, maturation, learning, motor skills, and psychosocial issues. OBJECTIVE: Analyze the influence of obesity on the aspects of motor development and quality of life of children aged three to eight years, and and their mothers' levels of anxiety and depression. METHODS: Cross-sectional descriptive and quantitative approach study with children enrolled and attended at a pediatric endocrinology in Fortaleza, CE, in the period between June and November 2017. The study sample consisted of 24 children from three to eight years of age. We used the anthropometric quantification, the Motor Development Scale, and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL™) for children. We applied the Beck anxiety and depression questionnaires for mothers. RESULTS: 16 were female, and 17 were severely obese. Most of the sample showed motor development changes 42,85% classified as "inferior" in the obesity category, and 41.17% in the severely obese category. Both groups revealed"complete right-handed" and "undefined" laterality in around 40% of the individuals. The quality of life had a low mean score. The majority of mothers from both groups presented minimal anxiety and depression. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity interferes negatively with the overall motor development, determination of laterality, and quality of life of children, perceiving more severe levels of anxiety and depression in mothers of children severely obesity.
INTRODUÇÃO: O desenvolvimento infantil é um período de progressivas e complexas transformações relacionadas ao crescimento, maturação, aprendizagem, habilidades motoras e questões psicossociais. OBJETIVO: Analisar o desempenho das habilidades motoras em crianças obesas, analisar a qualidade de vida das mesmas e os níveis de ansiedade e depressão de suas mães. MÉTODO: Pesquisa transversal, descritiva, comparativa e de abordagem quantitativa com crianças atendidas em um ambulatório de endocrinologia pediátrica localizada no município de Fortaleza - CE, entre junho e novembro de 2017. A amostra foi composta por 24 crianças, de 3 a 8 anos de idade. Foi realizada a quantificação antropométrica, aplicação da Escala de Desenvolvimento Motor, do Questionário Pediátrico sobre Qualidade de Vida das crianças (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory - PedsQL™) e dos questionários de ansiedade e depressão de Beck com as mães. RESULTADOS: 16 eram do sexo feminino e 17 obesos graves. Obteve-se alteração no desenvolvimento motor em quase 100% da amostra, com uma classificação quanto ao nível motor como "inferior" em 42,85% no grupo de obesos e 41,17% no grupo de obesos graves. Houve um predomínio da lateralidade "destro completo" e "indefinida" em ambos os grupos com pouco mais de 40% da amostra. Quanto a qualidade de vida foi observada uma baixa média de escores; estando as mães classificadas, em sua maioria, nos dois grupos, com presença de ansiedade e depressão mínimas. CONCLUSÃO: A obesidade interfere negativamente no desenvolvimento motor global, determinação da lateralidade e qualidade de vida das crianças, percebendo-se níveis mais graves de ansiedade e depressão nas mães de crianças com obesidade grave.

To compare the influence of laser and LED on tissue repair and neuropathic symptoms during treatment of diabetic foot. An intervention survey conducted in a health center located in Brazil, contemplating ten sessions, twice a week, with randomization in two groups. In one group, the wounds were treated with GaAlAs laser, with a wavelength of 830 nm, 30 mW, and power density 0.84 W/cm2, the other group by LED 850 nm, 48 mW, and power density 1.05 W/cm2. For the analysis of wound size, photographic records analyzed by the ImageJ® software were used, and the neuropathy evaluation card examined. With regard to the laser group, a reduction in wound extension of 79.43% was observed at the end of the 10th session; the patients in the LED group had a 55.84% decrease in the healing process; comparing the two therapies was observed a better healing in the participants of the laser group, with 81.17%, in relation to the LED after the end of the sessions; regarding the evaluation of the neuropathic condition, there was a significant improvement in both therapies. There was improvement of the neuropathic signs and symptoms, also improvement of the tissue repair in the two therapeutic modalities; however, the laser presented a higher rate of speed in relation to the LED.
