ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the lead-ing cause of death globally, with a high proportion of hospitalizations and costs. In view of this, it is essential to understand the main CVDs in patients admitted to hospital emergency services and the role of physiotherapists, in order to plan and direct health services, and to denote participation and encourage specific physiotherapy training in the context of tertiary care. Objective To outline the profile of cardiovascular emergencies and to evaluate physiotherapy in adult patients in the emergency department of a hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Methods This was an observational study which analyzed 1,256 on-call records over a period of eight months. The data collected included age, gender, cardiovascular diagnostic hypothesis and physiotherapy treatment carried out. Results A total of 75 patients with cardiovascular emergencies were included, the most prevalent of which were: heart failure (n = 21), acute coronary syndrome (n = 14), acute myocardial infarction (n = 13), bradyarrhythmia (n = 6) and hypertensive crisis (n = 5). Regarding physiotherapeutic actions and their applications, the most frequent were invasive mechanical ventilation management (n = 34), lung re-expansion maneuvers (n = 17), orotracheal intubation assistance (n = 17), non-invasive mechanical ventilation (n = 14), bronchial hygiene maneuvers (n = 12), kinesiotherapy (n = 10) and sedation (n = 10). Conclusion Heart failure and acute coronary syndrome were the cardiovascular diseases that caused the most admissions to the hospital emergency department and that the procedures with an emphasis on the respiratory system were the most applied.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Physical therapy (PT) is the mainstay treatment in functional recovery after suffering a stroke. It is important in the acute phase of hospitalization after a stroke and later in the ambulatory phase. Patients and methods: The present study aimed to analyze the data provided by the clinical history (CH) of people with stroke (pwS) who received PT treatment in order to establish a "preferential patient profile" (PPP) that may benefit more from an early PT treatment. This was an observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. A total of 137 pwS who had been treated with PT were selected. Information provided age, gender, stroke type and localization, and start and end dates of the different PT treatments. A descriptive analysis of the variables was conducted using absolute frequencies and percentages for the qualitative variables. Student's t-test or the Mann-Whitney U-test was used to determine the relationship between the time and variables "stroke type," "outpatient," and "occupational therapy." The Kruskal-Wallis H-test was applied for the "localization" variable. Results: Of the entire sample, 57.7% were men, 65% had an ischemic stroke, and 48.9% had a stroke on the left side. The patients with hemorrhagic stroke had an increased number of hospital PT sessions (p = 0.01) and were younger (59.58 years) than patients with ischemic stroke (65.90 years) (p = 0.04). Discussion and conclusion: Our results do not show significant differences between the persons < 65 years and the number of outpatient physiotherapy sessions performed, although the resulting values are close to significance. Our results suggest that the PPP is a young person, with a hemorrhagic and left or bilateral stroke.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is responsible for the compromise of the immune system and a high number of hospitalizations. Considering the biopsychosocial (BPS) context of the individual, the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides the maximum description of a health condition and the impact of interventions and service delivery for the physiotherapeutic process. The aim of this study was to build and validate a physical therapy assessment and functional classification instrument based on the ICF for hospitalized members of the HIV community. This is an observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study based on the analysis of demand, elaboration, and improvement of the instrument and its validation with the consensus of a experts committee of physical therapists; they evaluated 58 items and the classification codes resulted in 0.858 overall Kappa value=strong agreement between assessments, all statistically significant (p-value<0.05). The final version of the instrument included 36 items, all with Kappa coefficient >0.80. The constructed instrument is valid for the evaluation and functional classification in the ICF model for hospitalized members of the HIV community, contributing to the physical therapy clinical practice in the hospital environment.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction The intervention of respiratory physio-therapy in neonatal units is in continuous development, having its own care characteristics related to the weight and gestational age of the newborn, respecting the immaturity of the organs and systems and the diseases of this patient. Through techniques, the objective is to optimize the respiratory function, assisting in the clearance of secretions, and the restoration of lung volumes. Objective To verify if the respiratory physiotherapy technique of selective insufflation alters the cerebral blood flow in premature infants under 34 weeks of gestational age. Methods This is an uncontrolled clinical trial, conducted in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of a level III hospital, between January 2019 and March 2020, with participation of premature newborns under 34 weeks of gestational age. All were submitted to transfontanellar Doppler ultrasonography to assess cerebral blood flow measurements, mainly the resistance index, before and after the application of the selective insufflation respiratory physiotherapy technique. Results Sixty-two newborns were included, with a mean gestational age of 29.3 ± 2.2 weeks and birth weight of 1,259 ± 388 grams. The resistance index did not change significantly (RI before: 0.55 ± 0.07; after: 0.54 ± 0.07; p = 0.06) before and after the intervention and no studied variables such as, gender, gestational age, weight, Apgar score or SNAPPE II score had an influence on cerebral blood flow measurements. Conclusion The selective insufflation technique did not alter cerebral blood flow in premature newborn infants under 34 weeks gestational age.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine measurement properties of the Activity Measure for Post-Acute Care Inpatient Mobility Short Form (6-clicks) and Functional Status Score for the Intensive Care Unit (FSS-ICU). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of scores from a cohort of patients over 24 months. Outcome measures were administered to patients referred to physical therapy on admission and discharge. SETTING: Tertiary care hospital in the United Arab Emirates. PARTICIPANTS: 2793 adults referred to physical therapy; 62% were male, with a median age of 58 (interquartile range=44-70) and the median length of stay was 14 days (interquartile range=8-28). INTERVENTIONS: Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Instruments' clinical measurement properties: (1) responsiveness as per mean change and effect size; (2) floor and ceiling effects; and (3) minimal important difference. Results were analyzed for the whole group as well as 3 subgroups: patients with stroke as primary diagnosis (n = 644), discharged from heart and vascular floors (n = 642), and discharged from medical floors (n = 554). RESULTS: The mean change and effect size (Cohen's d) for the 6-clicks were +8.3 (±8.6) and 0.97, and for the FSS-ICU they were +6.8 (±7.8) and 0.87, respectively. 6-Clicks had a floor effect on admission among patients with stroke (16.9%) and patients discharged from medical floors (19.3%), as well as a ceiling effect on discharge (25.5% in the whole group). The FSS-ICU had a ceiling effect on discharge (23.2% in whole group). The estimated minimal important difference for the 6-clicks was 4.3, and for the FSS-ICU it was 3.9. CONCLUSION: Both instruments demonstrate good responsiveness in adults hospitalized in the United Arab Emirates. The FSS-ICU exhibited several advantages in performance that suggest greater clinical utility than the 6-clicks. Minimal important differences were generated, which has not been previously reported for the 6-clicks.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: Several studies have shown that early mobilization is safe and beneficial for patients admitted to the intensive care units (ICUs), especially for those with mechanical ventilation (MV). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the benefits of early mobilization physiotherapeutic techniques applied to patients who suffered craniocerebral trauma (CCT). METHODS: This is an experimental study that evaluated clinical data from 27 patients. In sedated patients, mobilization and passive stretching were performed on the upper and lower limbs; in those without sedation, active-assisted, free and resisted exercises were included. RESULTS: The experimental group was composed of 51.8% of the participants and the control group by 48.2%, the majority being male (81.5%) with a median age of 43 years. The patients in the experimental group had an average of 9.5 days (2.2-14.7) of mechanical ventilation (MV), and those belonging to the control group, of 17 days (7-21.7) with MV (p=0.154). The patients in the experimental group had an average of 13.5 days in the ICU, against an average of 17 days in the control group (p=0.331), and an average of 20.5 days in hospital against 24 days in the control group (p=0.356). CONCLUSION: Early mobilization should be applied to critically ill patients as it can decrease the length of stay in the ICU and the hospital.


INTRODUÇÃO: Diversos estudos têm mostrado que a mobilização precoce é segura e benéfica para pacientes internados em unidades de terapia intensiva (UTIs), especialmente para aqueles com ventilação mecânica (VM). OBJETIVO: Investigar os benefícios das técnicas fisioterapêuticas de mobilização precoce aplicada aos pacientes que sofreram traumatismo cranioencefálico (TCE). MÉTODOS: Trata-se de um estudo quasi-randomizado, que incluiu 27 com TCE divididos em dois grupos: controle (n=13) e experimental (n=14) pacientes. No grupo experimental, os pacientes sedados foram submetidos à mobilização e alongamentos passivos nos membros superiores e inferiores; naqueles sem sedação, foram incluídos exercícios ativo-assistidos, livres e resistidos. RESULTADOS: O grupo experimental foi composto por 51,8% dos participantes da pesquisa e o grupo controle por 48,2%, sendo a maioria do sexo masculino (81,5%) com mediana de idade de 43 anos. Os pacientes do grupo experimental apresentaram média de 9,5 dias (2,2-14,7) de ventilação mecânica, e os pertencentes ao grupo controle, de 17 dias (7-21,7) com de VM (p=0,154). Os pacientes do grupo experimental apresentaram média de 13,5 dias de internação em UTI, contra média de 17 dias do grupo controle (p=0,331), e média de 20,5 dias de internação hospitalar contra 24 dias do grupo controle (p=0,356). CONCLUSÃO: A mobilização precoce é uma técnica que deve ser aplicada em pacientes críticos dentro das UTIs, pois pode diminuir o tempo de internação na UTI e hospitalar.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Regular functional status and muscle strength assessments should be performed with burn victims. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the functionality and peripheral muscle strength of burn patients admitted to the hospital. METHODS: A longitudinal and prospective study was conducted from March to November 2019, including adult burn victims who were admitted to the ICU and discharged from the hospital. Patients were assessed on admission, every 10 days, at discharge from the ICU and from the hospital. Functionality was assessed using the Chelsea Critical Care Physical Assessment (CPAx) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIM). Muscle strength was assessed using the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale and handgrip dynamometry. RESULTS: 41 patients were included, 27 men and 14 women, with a median age of 41 (IQR [28-56]) years, mean TBSA of 19 (SD ± 12) percent, mean Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) of 6 (SD ± 2) and the mean ICU time was 29 (SD ± 9) days. The CPAx, FIM and MRC evaluations improved (P < 0.0001) when compared to admission to the ICU and at hospital discharge, while the dynamometry showed no statistical difference. The ABSI only showed an association with the length of stay. CONCLUSION: The CPAX scale was sensitive to changes in functionality throughout the hospital stay in severely burned patients, in the present study. The assessment of global muscle strength was more sensitive than handgrip strength and the ABSI was associated with length of stay in this population.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this review was to identify quality indicators described in the literature that may be used as quality measures in hospital physical therapy units. METHODS: The following sources were searched for quality indicators or articles: Web of Science, MEDLINE, IBECS, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health, Academic Search Complete, SportDiscus, SciELO, PsychINFO, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Cientificas, and Scopus databases; the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, National Health System Indicator Portal, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development websites; and the National Quality Forum's measures inventory tool. Search terms included "quality indicator," "quality measure," "physiotherapy," and "physical therapy." Inclusion criteria were articles written in English, Spanish, French, or Portuguese aimed at measuring the quality of care in hospital physical therapy units. Evidence-based indicators with an explicit formula were extracted by 2 independent reviewers and then classified using the structure-process-outcome model, quality domain, and categories defined by a consensus method. RESULTS: Of the 176 articles identified, only 19 met the criteria. From these articles and from the indicator repository searches, 178 clinical care indicators were included in the qualitative synthesis and presented in this paper. Process and outcome measures were prevalent, and 5 out of the 6 quality domains were represented. No efficiency measures were identified. Moreover, structure indicators, equity and accessibility indicators, and indicators in the cardiovascular and circulatory, mental health, pediatrics, and intensive care categories were underrepresented. CONCLUSIONS: A broad selection of quality indicators was identified from international resources, which can be used to measure the quality of physical therapy care in hospital units. IMPACT: This review identified 178 quality of care indicators that can be used in clinical practice monitoring and quality improvement of hospital physical therapy units. The results highlight a lack of accessibility, equity, and efficiency measures for physical therapy units.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Lower limb (LL) amputation compromises the individual's quality of life and functionality, requiring immediate rehabilitation through the assistance of a multi-professional team. This research describes the sociodemographic and physical-functional profile of the LL amputee, evaluated at the hospital bedside in the immediate postoperative period. This is a descriptive and cross-sectional study in which patients from the Unified Health System were evaluated, who underwent LL of any etiology in a public hospital. The collection was designated through notifications from the hospital staff regarding cases of newly amputees, totaling fourteen subjects. The average age of the participants was 44 years old, being 86% male. The etiology of the predominant amputation was automobile trauma due to motorcycle accidents and transtibial level. From the perimetry, it was found that 43% of the individuals presented edema in the stump when compared to the contralateral limb. Regarding stump pain, 93% of subjects reported feeling, while 78% reported feeling phantom pain and phantom sensation. Concerning normal muscle strength in the amputated limb, it was present in only 1% of patients, in contrast to the intact limb was present in 48% of individuals for any muscle group. In bed mobility, 32% of individuals had complete independence. In unipodal orthostatism, no patient was able to stand independently. From the collected data it was possible to conclude that the physical therapist should pay attention to the muscular strength, bed mobility, and static balance of the amputee to avoid muscle contractures and facilitate prosthesis.


Resumo A amputação de membro inferior (MI) compromete a qualidade de vida e a funcionalidade do indivíduo, necessitando de reabilitação imediata com auxílio de equipe multiprofissional. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo descrever o perfil sociodemográfico e físico-funcional do amputado de MI, avaliado à beira do leito hospitalar no pós-operatório imediato. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo e transversal, avaliados pacientes do Sistema Único de Saúde, submetidos à amputação de MI de qualquer etiologia em um hospital público. A coleta ocorreu através de notificações da equipe do hospital sobre os casos de recém-amputados, totalizando quatorze sujeitos. A idade média dos participantes foi de 44 anos, sendo 86% do sexo masculino. A etiologia da amputação predominante foi trauma automobilístico por acidente de motocicleta e nível transtibial. Pela perimetria constatou-se que 43% dos indivíduos apresentavam edema no coto quando comparado ao contralateral. Em relação à dor no coto, 93% dos sujeitos relataram sentir, enquanto 78% relataram sentir dor fantasma e sensação fantasma. Em relação à força muscular normal no membro amputado, esta esteve presente em apenas 1% dos pacientes, ao passo que o membro intacto esteve presente em 48% dos indivíduos para qualquer grupo muscular. Na mobilidade no leito, 32% dos indivíduos apresentaram independência completa. No ortostatismo unipodal nenhum paciente foi capaz de ficar em pé de forma independente. A partir dos dados coletados concluiu-se que o fisioterapeuta deve estar atento à força muscular, mobilidade na cama e equilíbrio estático do amputado, a fim de evitar contraturas musculares e facilitar a prótese.

ABSTRACT

A posição canguru é uma estratégia do Método Canguru que aproxima as mães de seus filhos, promovendo estabilidade fisiológica. OBJETIVO: Analisar a estabilidade fisiológica e equilíbrio sono-vigília dos RNPTs de uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva Neonatal (UTIN) em um hospital público universitário, bem como a percepção materna quanto a posição canguru. MÉTODO: Estudo observacional com análise de resultados qualitativos e quantitativos. Desenvolveu-se entre julho a dezembro de 2017 na UTIN. Os dados foram coletados dos prontuários dos RNs. Os parâmetros fisiológicos e estado comportamental de escala sono vigília, antes e após 50 minutos na posição canguru. E as mães responderam à 10 perguntas abertas quanto a seus sentimentos no contato pele a pele. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 18 recém-nascidos e 10 mães responderam a entrevista. Os RNs mantiveram a frequência cardíaca (p=0,28) e saturação periférica de oxigênio (p=0,77) nos limites da normalidade, a temperatura corporal apresentou diferença estatisticamente significante (p=0,01) variando entre 36,5 e 36,7o. Os RNs mudaram o estado comportamental e as mães perceberam estas mudanças durante a realização da posição canguru e se sentiram mais próximas dele por meio do contato pele a pele. CONCLUSÃO: Os recém-nascidos posicionados em canguru no tórax de suas mães mantiveram seus dados fisiológicos estáveis e a temperatura corporal dos mesmos apresentou pequeno acréscimo dentro da normalidade, mostrando ser seguro estar na posição canguru. As mães perceberam que tal ato as aproximou de seus filhos despertando sentimentos positivos de alegria, emoção e amor, indo ao encontro do que é preconizado pelo Método Canguru.


The kangaroo position is a strategy of the Kangaroo Method that brings mothers closer to their children, promoting physiological stability. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the physiological stability and sleep-wake balance of premature newborn from a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in a public university hospital, as well as the maternal perception of the kangaroo position. METHOD: Observational study with analysis of qualitative and quantitative results. It developed between July and December 2017 at the NICU. Data were collected from the newborns' medical records. The physiological parameters and behavioral state of sleep wake scale, before and after 50 minutes in the kangaroo position. And the mothers answered 10 open questions about their feelings about skinto-skin contact. RESULTS: 18 newborns were included and 10 mothers answered the interview. Prelatures maintained their heart rate (p =0.28) and peripheral oxygen saturation (p = 0.77) within normal limits, body temperature showed a statistically significant difference (p = 0.01) ranging between 36.5 and 36.7o. Newborns changed their behavioral state and mothers noticed these changes during the performance of the kangaroo position and felt closer to them through skin-to-skin contact. CONCLUSION: Newborns positioned in a kangaroo on their mothers' thorax kept their physiological data stable and their body temperature showed a small increase within normal limits, showing that it is safe to be in the kangaroo position. The mothers realized that such an act brought them closer to their children, arousing positive feelings of joy, emotion and love, in line with what is recommended by the Kangaroo Method.

ABSTRACT The physical therapist inclusion at urgency and emergency remains an unexplored scenario, even though it has been getting attention and relevance. Thus, this study aims to check multidisciplinary team perception on physical therapist inclusion at the emergency of a hospital. This is a descriptive study with quality-quantitative analysis. The convenience sample was composed of nurse technicians, nurses, physicians, resident physicians, multidisciplinary residents and health science scholars who work at the unit, totaling 41 professionals. A self-applicable questionnaire was used to collect data, with identification information, objective, and subjective questions regarding the topic of this study, which was developed and validated by the authors. The continuous variables were expressed in mean and standard deviation, whereas categorical variables were performed by frequencies. Data obtained in descriptive questions were organized and analyzed with the hermeneutic-dialectical method. After analysis, we observed that more than 85% of the team referred that the physical therapist is considered part of the emergency team, with all of them presenting a good relationship overall. Besides, they recognize the importance of the physical therapist and the positive result of physical therapist in respiratory and motion. Thus, it was verified that the multidisciplinary emergency team understands and recognizes the physical therapist performance as well as the positive aspects that physical therapy brings to the emergency treatment, showing a positive perception of such professionals.

ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: The European Society of Intensive Care Medicine recommends the presence of a specialist physiotherapist, available every five beds, seven days a week in the high complexity Intensive Care Unit. However, in Chile the adherence of adult Intensive Care Units to this recommendation is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To describe the organizational characteristics and the physiotherapist availability in adult Intensive Care Units in Chile, and according to the adherence to international recommendations, inform health decision-makers. METHODS: Observational study based on a telephone survey. All adult Intensive Care Units institutions of high complexity, private hospitals and teaching health centers in Chile were eligible (n = 74). The primary outcome measures were the proportion of institutions with physiotherapist availability 24 hours a day and seven days a week (24/7 physiotherapist), a maximum caseload per physiotherapist of five patients and the presence of a specialist physiotherapist. RESULTS: Response rate was 86.5%, with 59% of responding units being public and 83% offering level III care. 70% of the adult Intensive Care Units in Chile have 24/7 physiotherapist (87% of the public and 46% of the private sector). 41% of the centers had a maximum caseload per physiotherapist of five patients during the day on weekdays. This number decreased on weekends and during night shifts. 23% of the Intensive Care Units had a specialist physiotherapist, being more common in the private sector (31%). CONCLUSIONS: In Chilean adult ICU, 24/7 physiotherapist availability is high, the prevalence of physiotherapists with specialist training is low. Future efforts should focus on promoting the uptake of specialist training.


INTRODUCCIÓN: La Sociedad Europea de Medicina de Cuidados Intensivos recomienda la presencia de un Kinesiólogo con formación especializada, disponible cada cinco camas de alta complejidad, los 7 días de la semana en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI). En Chile se desconoce la adherencia de las UCI adulto a esta recomendación. OBJETIVO: Describir las características administrativas y de cobertura kinésica en las UCI adulto chilenas, y de acuerdo con la adherencia a las recomendaciones internacionales, informar a los tomadores de decisión en salud. MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional transversal, basado en encuesta telefónica. Se incluyeron las UCI adultos de establecimientos de mayor complejidad, clínicas privadas y centros asociados a universidades (n = 74). La proporción de instituciones con disponibilidad de kinesiólogos las 24 horas del día, los siete días de la semana (kinesiólogo 24/7), con un número máximo de cinco pacientes por kinesiólogo y presencia de un kinesiólogo especialista fueron reportados. RESULTADOS: La tasa de respuesta fue del 86,5% (n = 64), principalmente públicas (59%) y de nivel III (83%). El 70% (n = 45) de las UCI adulto chilenas cuentan con kinesiólogo 24/7; correspondiendo el 87% al sector público y el 46% al privado. El 41% de los centros posee un máximo de 5 pacientes por kinesiólogo en día hábil diurno, disminuyendo en fines de semana y horarios nocturnos. Un 23% de las UCIs cuenta con kinesiólogo especialista en intensivo, siendo mayor en el sector privado (31%). CONCLUSIONES: En UCI adulto chilenas, la disponibilidad de kinesiólogos 24/7 es alta, y la prevalencia de especialistas es baja. Estrategias de creación de programas de formación de especialidad podrían contribuir a disminuir la brecha de especialistas.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: Inactivity during hospitalization leads to a functional decline and an increased risk of complications. To date, studies focused on older adults. This study aims to compare the physical activities performed by older adult and adult hospitalized patients. METHODS: Patients hospitalized for >3 days at a university hospital completed a questionnaire regarding their physical activities (% of days on which an activity was performed divided by the length of stay) and physical activity needs during hospitalization. Crude and adjusted comparisons of older adult (>60 years) and adult (≤60 years) patients were performed using parametric testing and regression analyses. RESULTS: Of 524 patients, 336 (64%) completed the questionnaire, including 166 (49%) older adult patients. On average, the patients were physically active on 35% or less of the days during their hospitalization. Linear regression analysis showed no significant associations between being an older adult and performing physical activities after adjusting for gender, length of stay, surgical intervention, and meeting physical activity recommendations prior to hospitalization. Most patients were well informed regarding physical activity during hospitalization; however, the older adult patients reported a need for information regarding physical activities after hospitalization more frequently (odds ratios, 2.47) after adjusting for educational level, gender, and physical therapy during hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: Both older adult and adult patients are physically inactive during hospitalization, and older adult patients express a greater need for additional information regarding physical activity after hospitalization than adult patients. Therefore, personalized strategies that inform and motivate patients to resume physical activities during hospitalization are needed regardless of age.

Objetivo: avaliar a funcionalidade de pacientes acometidos pelo acidente vascular encefálico após serem submetidos à terapia de contensão induzida. Material e método: A referida pesquisa caracterizou-se como experimental, com corte longitudinal de forma prospectiva, apresentando uma abordagem quantitativa identificando os efeitos de um programa fisioterapêutico utilizando a terapia de contensão induzida como recurso para incremento da funcionalidade dos indivíduos acometidos pela doença. Resultado: A amostra foi composta por sete pacientes acometidos pela doença, sendo quatro (57,10%) do gênero feminino e três (42,90%) do masculino, com média de idade de 59,43 anos (±10,25). Na Escala de Ashworth Modificada observou-se a redução da espasticidade. Na goniometria foi encontrado aumento da amplitude de movimento nos movimentos de flexão do ombro (p=0,039), abdução do ombro (p=0,041), flexão do punho (p=0,006), extensão do punho (p=0,023), desvio radial (p=0,032). Na Capacidade Funcional foi encontrado um aumento dos escores tanto por meio do Índice de Barthel quanto pela Escala de Desempenho Físico de Fugl Meyer. Conclusão: Nesse contexto conclui-se que a terapia de contensão induzida foi eficaz no incremento da funcionalidade dos indivíduos que sofreram o acidente vascular encefálico, devido ao processo de neuroplasticidade, decorrente do desenvolvimento da aprendizagem motora após o treinamento intensivo e de repetição com a terapia(AU)


Introduction: The use of constraint-induced movement therapy is based on the conception of the execution of the intensive and repetitive training associated with restraint of the healthy limb, in order to induce the functional reorganization of the motor systems in stroke, guaranteeing gains in functionality. Objective: to evaluate the functionality of patients affected by stroke after being submitted to constraint-induced movement therapy. Material and method: This research was characterized as a prospective longitudinal study, presenting a quantitative approach identifying the effects of a physiotherapeutic program using the induced containment therapy as a resource to increase the functionality of the individuals affected by the disease. Results: The sample consisted of seven patients (57.10%) and three (42.90%) men, with a mean age of 59.43 years (± 10.25). In the Modified Ashworth Scale the reduction of spasticity was observed. In the goniometry we found increased range of motion in shoulder flexion movements (p = 0.039), shoulder abduction (p = 0.041), wrist flexion (p = 0.006), wrist extension (p = 0.023), radial deviation (p = 0.032). In Functional Capacity, an increase in scores was found both through the Barthel Index and the Fugl Meyer Physical Performance Scale. Conclusion: In this context, it was concluded that induced restraint therapy was effective in increasing the functionality of individuals who suffered stroke due to the neuroplasticity process, due to the development of motor learning after intensive training and repetition with the therapy(AU)
