Abstract(s)
Objectivo: A realização deste estudo tem como objectivo identificar a
capacidade de modificação dos parâmetros do ciclo da marcha após
intervenção a nível dos componentes do membro inferior e uma abordagem na
reeducação da marcha no tapete rolante (treadmill).
Métodos: Este estudo é um estudo de série de casos, constituído por três
indivíduos com sequelas de Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE), com
comprometimento a nível do membro inferior, capazes de realizar marcha. Os
instrumentos de avaliação foram o teste de marcha de 10 metros (10-M), o
teste de marcha de 6 minutos (6-Min) e o Time Up and Go (TUG). Os
indivíduos receberam intervenção da fisioterapia baseada no conceito de
Bobath e na reeducação de marcha no treadmill.
Resultados: Após a intervenção verificou-se um aumento da velocidade e
cadência da marcha, assim como uma maior tolerância e resistência na
capacidade da sua realização.
Conclusão: A intervenção realizada a nível dos componentes do membro
inferior e na reeducação da marcha utilizando o treadmill permitiu modificar
alguns parâmetros espaço-temporais do ciclo da marcha, aumentando a
velocidade e cadência da marcha. A utilização conjunta de diferentes
abordagens na intervenção ao indivíduo com sequelas de AVE deve ser
sempre considerada uma vez que pode trazer benefícios na sua independência
e qualidade de vida.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the ability of modifying the gait cycle parameters after a period of physiotherapy based on lower limb component’s change and treadmill walking training. Methods: This study is a case series comprising three patients with stroke and lower limb impairment, able to walk. Outcome measures were 10-meter and 6- minute Walking Tests and Time Up and Go. Subjects had physiotherapy based on the Bobath concept and treadmill walking training. Results: After treatment, all patients increased gait speed and cadence as well as greater tolerance and resistance in walking ability. Conclusions: An approach based on lower limb component’s change and treadmill walking training resulted in changes on spatiotemporal gait parameters, such as an increased of gait speed and cadence. We should consider a combining of different approaches in people with stroke, so that can reflect benefits in their independence and quality of life.
