Abstract: Buscamos conhecer a visão do formando em fisioterapia perante o crescente impacto tecnológico na sua futura prática clínica e avaliar que adaptações são introduzidas na sua formação. Nesse estudo observacional utilizamos um procedimento de Delphi (duas rondas) em que 12 formandos concluíram a pesquisa, apontando a necessidade de mais atenção as inovações tecnológicas na formação em fisioterapia.2023-03-24T00:00:00ZElbow Tendinopathies in GolfSousa, João Paulohttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/353922023-08-03T10:41:05Z2008-07-07T23:00:00ZTitle: Elbow Tendinopathies in Golf
Authors: Sousa, João Paulo
Abstract: Elbow tendinopathies are common in golfers and are caused by repetitive overuse during the golf swing. Any specific activity performed will often cause chronic irritation to the tendons that attach to the medial aspect of the elbow. It is called "golfer's elbow" (or what was formerly called medial epicondylitis) when there is an injury to the medial tendinous region of the elbow. It is a form of tendinitis that causes pain and inflammation in the tendons that connect the forearm to the elbow. The pain is concentrated in the bony protuberance on the inside of the elbow and may radiate down the forearm. Treatment options include rest, ice, NSAIDs, physical therapy, and corticosteroid injections.
Tendinopathies are common causes of elbow pain, resulting in significant functional limitations in golfers, especially professionals over 25 years of age. Golfers complain of gradual onset pain with or without specific trauma. However, elbow tendinopathy can be caused by sports activities other than golf and tennis, as well as work-related activities that involve heavy use of the wrist and forearm muscles.2008-07-07T23:00:00ZO exercício na reabilitação.Sousa, João Paulohttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/353912023-08-03T10:40:35Z2006-04-30T23:00:00ZTitle: O exercício na reabilitação.
Authors: Sousa, João Paulo
Abstract: O exercício é uma parte importante da reabilitação. Os exercícios de reabilitação visam melhorar a força muscular, mobilidade, condição física, qualidade de vida, pressão arterial, controle de açúcar no sangue, função cardíaca e pulmonar, controle de peso, autoestima e neutralizar/reverter os efeitos colaterais do tratamento com esteroides1. O exercício de reabilitação estimula o cérebro a se reconectar por meio da neuroplasticidade, o que melhora a sua capacidade de enviar sinais aos músculos. Os exercícios de reabilitação também podem reduzir o risco de queda, melhorar o equilíbrio, reduzir os sintomas de tontura e aumentar a força corporal. O objetivo da reabilitação é restaurar a função ao máximo no menor tempo possível, ajudando as pessoas a retornarem à sua função com risco mínimo de reincidência. A reabilitação também ajuda a minimizar ou retardar os efeitos incapacitantes de condições crônicas de saúde, como doenças cardiovasculares, câncer e diabetes, e contribui para um envelhecimento saudável.2006-04-30T23:00:00ZTHE EFFECTS OF ANKLE TAPING ON PROPRIOCEPTION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEWCabri, JanEsteves, JoséSousa, João PauloOliveira, RaúlDonaghie, Mariehttp://hdl.handle.net/10174/353762023-08-03T10:18:47Z2006-07-05T23:00:00ZTitle: THE EFFECTS OF ANKLE TAPING ON PROPRIOCEPTION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW

Abstract: Objectives: to look for the evidence to support or challenge the use of ankle taping as a prophylactic measure or in the treatment of ankle injuries was undertaken.
Methods and Material: The literature search was carried out using three databases: PubMed, Physiotherapy Evidence Database (Pedro) and the Cochrane Library. The search was limited to articles published from 1985 to 2005 in the English language. The search terms used were: “ankle tape” or “ankle taping” combined with “proprioception” or “proprioceptive” or “joint position sense” or “kinaesthesia” or “postural sway” or “peroneal reaction time” or “peroneal latency”.
Three independent trained physiotherapists were asked to review each article according to the review criteria of the Pedro Database. The reliability of Pedro scale rating is reported elsewhere [1]. All reviewers were provided with a data sheet for each article, containing the eleven Pedro criteria. Accordingly, each publication was evaluated and received a rating from 0 to 10. After the rating procedure, a consensus meeting was held where the reviewers could exchange their opinions where disagreement existed with respect to the ratings.
Results: A total of 89 references were identified from the searches. Through a number of selection procedures, only nine papers were withheld for rating. The Pedro rating scales ranged from 3.3 to 5.7 (mean) and from 3 to 6 (modus). No real randomized controlled studies were found.
With respect to the measurements of proprioception, peroneal reaction time after sudden movement (inversion of plantar flexion or a combination of both) was measured in six of the studies, whereas movement reproduction or detection were used in two. Only one of the selected reports dealt with postural sway as a measure of proprioception.
Five studies reported that ankle tape had no effect on the proprioception measurements, in one study a decrease in postural sway was found before exercise but no differences were observed after exercise, two referred that ankle tape may influence positively proprioception and consequently the ankle dynamic stability and, one publication found a delayed peroneal reaction time with ankle tape.
Discussion: As it is evidenced in this systematic review there is no extensive collection of studies investigating the effects of ankle tape on proprioception available. Better-designed, randomised controlled trials with higher methodological quality are required come to conclusive results on the effects of ankle taping on proprioception.
