Introduction: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) may present impaired functional capacity due to peripheral muscle involvement. Oxidative stress and inflammation are probably involved in this pathophysiology. This study aimed to evaluate the association between functional capacity and biomarkers of oxidative stress as well as biomarkers of inflammation in patients under chronic hemodialysis therapy. Met...
Introdução: A Atenção Primária à Saúde caracteriza-se por utilizar tecnologias de elevada complexidade e baixa densidade, nesse contexto o projeto de Extensão FisioIdoso atua na UBS Anastácio Magalhães realizando atividades assistenciais em grupo, porém tem como base a avaliação individualizada de cada participante. Entre os instrumentos utilizados no processo de avaliação, destaca-se o teste Timed up and go. E...
Nos últimos anos a Fisioterapia Neuropediátrica vem se reconstruindo, tanto ao se lançar em novas áreas de atuação, embasadas em referenciais teóricos mais recentes e pesquisas de novas técnicas, como redirecionando o seu foco para a funcionalidade. Com o advento da CIF (Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde; OMS 2001), é fundamental que ampliemos nosso olhar além das alterações de...
Introduction: Hemodialysis (HD) patients have altered pulmonary function and this is associated with impaired endothelial function and cardiovascular events. Respiratory muscle training (RMT) has the potential to improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients undergoing maintenance HD. Here, we evaluated the e ff ects of RMT on endothelium/glycocalyx, oxidative stress biomarkers and pulmonary function test in HD p...
Respiratory muscle training (RMT) has been inserted in the integral care for patients with chronic renal disease (CKD) who were submitted to hemodialysis (HD) aiming to improve their pulmonary and physical condition. The study evaluated the RMT effects on respiratory muscle strength (RMS) and lung function (LF) in individuals with CKD submitted to HD. A pilot and longitudinal study was performed with 16 patient...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) treatment can trigger several alterations in the functioning of the body organs and in the respiratory system, the repercussions are generally the reduction of respiratory muscle strength (FMR) and pulmonary function (PF). Objective: To evaluate FMR and PF of patients with CKD to HD. Method: A cross-sectional study performed in a clinic of HD in the city of For...
Diaphragmatic myofascial release (DMR) techniques are widely used in clinical practice, but few studies have evaluated their simultaneous immediate effects on respiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Objective: To evaluate the immediate effects of DMR in sedentary women on posterior chain muscle flexibility (PCMF); range of motion (RM) of the lumbar spine; respiratory muscle strength (RMS) and thoracic cavity m...
Background: Although diaphragmatic myofascial release techniques are widely used in clinical practice, few studies have evaluated the simultaneous acute effects of these techniques on the respiratory and musculoskeletal systems. Objective: To evaluate the immediate effects of diaphragmatic myofascial release in sedentary women on the posterior chain muscle flexibility; lumbar spine range of motion; respiratory ...
To analyze the effects of respiratory muscle training (RMT) on respiratory muscle strength, lung function, endothelial / glycocalyx, oxidative stress biomarkers and plasma concentration of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing hemodialysis. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial performed at a Hemodialysis Clinic in the City of Fortaleza, Ceará, from July 2015 to November 20...
