Abstract(s)
Enquadramento: A aplicação de crioterapia utiliza-se como coadjuvante na reeducação neuromuscular e
tem como objetivo atingir o mais rápido possível a capacidade funcional, devido aos seus efeitos
analgésicos e anti- inflamatórios, contudo, o seu efeito negativo ao nível da propriocepção tem vindo a ser
questionado. Objetivo: Verificar se a aplicação de crioterapia no tendão quadricipital tem influência na
força máxima, na sensação de força produzida e na funcionalidade do membro inferior. Metodologia:
Tratou-se de um estudo experimental, do tipo laboratorial e com um desenho cruzado. Quarenta sujeitos
foram distribuídos inicialmente e de forma aleatória em um grupo experimental e um grupo controlo,
sendo que, após uma semana os elementos que pertenceram ao grupo experimental passaram para grupo
controlo e vice-versa. O grupo experimental foi submetido a um programa com gelo dinâmico durante 10
minutos, avaliando-se a força máxima, sensação de força produzida e funcionalidade do membro,
enquanto grupo controlo esteve em repouso o mesmo período de tempo. Resultados: Verificaram-se que
não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas relativas a todas variáveis estudadas (p>0,05).
Conclusão: O uso da crioterapia na região mio-tendinosa do quadrícipete não provoca défices
significativos ao nível das respostas sensório-motoras do joelho, e que à luz destes resultados, esta pode
ser utilizada antes da realização de outras técnicas terapêuticas, sem qualquer risco adicional a nível
motor.
Backgraund: The application of cryotherapy is used as an adjuvant in neuromuscular reeducation and it has as aims to achieve the fastest possible the functional capacity, due to its analgesic and antiinflammatory effects, however, its negative effect on the proprioception has been questioned . Objective: To check if the application of cryotherapy in the quadriceps tendon, it has influences the maximum force, the force sence and functionality of the lower limb. Methods: It was a laboratory experimental study, with a crossover design. Forty subjects were distributed initially and randomly in experimental group and control group, that after a week, the experimental group elements passed to the control group and the control group elements passed to the experimental group. The experimental group was submitted a dynamic program with ice for 10 minutes, to evaluate the maximum force, the force sense and the functionality of the limb, while the control group was at rest in the same time. Results: There were not statistically significant differences for all variables (p> .05). Conclusion: The use of cryotherapy doesn’t cause significant deficits, in the quadriceps tendon, to the sensoriomotor responses of the knee, and in the light of these results, it can to be used prior to other therapeutic techniques, without any additional risk level motor.
