Marangoni,Bruna E. M.; Pavan,Karina; Tilbery,Charles PeterGait impairment is reported by 85% of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) as main complaint. In 2003, Hobart et al. developed a scale for walking known as The 12-item Multiple Sclerosis Walking Scale (MSWS-12), which combines the perspectives of patients with psychometric methods. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt and validate the MSWS-12 for the Brazilian population with MS. METHODS: This...

Validation of the Santa Casa evaluation of spasticity scale
Pavan,Karina; Marangoni,Bruna Eriko Matsuda; Shimizu,William Akira Lima; Mattos,Sheila Evangelista; Ferrari,Paula Pereira; Martins,Silvia Regina GomesSpasticity is a clinical condition that has negative repercussions on function. A scale capable of quantifying the severity and impact of an injury is fundamental to the rehabilitation process. The objective of this study was to retest and validate the Santa Casa evaluation of spasticity scale, a descriptive assessment of activities of daily living, transfers and locomotion. We analyzed spasticity and functiona...
Validation of the "Six Step Spot Test" for gait among patients with multiple sc...
Pavan,Karina; Tilbery,Charles Peter; Lianza,Sergio; Marangoni,Bruna Eriko MatsudaThe clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis (MS) are variable among patients, and the course of disease is not linear. Different symptoms are presented, with gradual accumulation of disability. These variations are difficult to quantify in clinical practice, and several studies have attempted to create instruments capable of measuring these disabilities. The Six Step Spot Test (SSST) was developed for qua...
Reabilitação vestibular em pacientes com esclerose múltipla remitente-recorrente
Pavan,Karina; Marangoni,Bruna E.M.; Schmidt,Kizi B.; Cobe,Fernanda A.; Matuti,Gabriela S.; Nishino,Lúcia K.; Thomaz,Rodrigo B.; Mendes,Maria FernandaA esclerose múltipla (EM) é doença desmielinizante, inflamatória, que acomete a substância branca do sistema nervoso central, e sensações vestibulares anormais (vertigem, desequilíbrio) são freqüentes. A reabilitação vestibular (RV) é determinada por mecanismos de adaptações, substituições e compensações neurais. Este estudo avaliou a melhora da vertigem central ou periférica em pacientes com EM remitente-recor...

MÉTODO: A MFIS foi traduzida para língua portuguesa e retrovertida para o inglês. Dois estudos piloto foram realizados até ser obtida a MFIS-BR, que foi aplicada em 57 pacientes com esclerose múltipla e 45 controles. O reteste foi 30 dias depois. RESULTADOS: Na análise estatística a reprodutibilidade da consistênc...

Pavan,Karina; Schmidt,Kizi; Ariça,Tatiana de Ambrosio; Mendes,Maria Fernanda; Tilbery,Charles Peter; Lianza,SergioA fadiga é um dos mais freqüentes sintomas e incapacitantes na esclerose múltipla (EM). O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a fatigabilidade em pacientes com EM pela aplicação de exercícios isotônicos e isométricos com dinamômetro manual. Como resultados, a fatigabilidade, a força e o tempo máximo de isometria são semelhantes estatisticamente entre o grupo controle e o grupo de EM. Conclui-se que embora a...
