Obstructive pulmonary diseases, such as asthma, cause changes in respiratory mechanics, directly interfering with body posture. Objective: To perform a literature review on the changes in the posture of asthmatic people. Methods: The searches were performed in the MEDLINE, SciELO, LILACS and SCIENCE DIRECT databases, type of studies: transversal. Using the keywords: asthma, posture and postural changes and their correspondents in English. Results: The studies found evidenced postural alterations present in the adult phase, and insignificant or nonexistent alterations in childhood. Final considerations:Multiprofessional attention in asthma is of great importance for clinical and functional treatment, with physiotherapy acting on postural corrections. It is possible to analyze, from the studies found, that the changes in posture are insignificant or nonexistent in childhood, however, it is present in the adult phasebringing considerable changes to the posture.

Bracing is a widely used feature in children with CP; it aims to improve the alignment of peripheral joints, prevent joint deformities and optimize space-time aspects. Objective: To observe possible changes in walking parameters, with and without AFO use in MMII. Materials and methods: This is a case report involving a child with a hemiparesis-type PC. A GoPro Hero4 was used to shoot the gait with and without AFO, the images were analyzed by the CVMOB and compared the two moments for analysis of possible changes in speed, pitch length and cadence. Project was approved by the CEP with CAEE of 82972217.9.0000.5628 according to Law 466/2012. Results: The AFO prescription for children with spastic hemiparesis-type PCs may influence spatiotemporal aspects. The use of the device increased pitch length however decreased speed and cadence. Conclusion: The results showed that AFO influences the spatiotemporal aspects of gait of the hemiparetic child due to PC sequel but new studies involving a larger number of participants are needed to increase the resultsItem Atuação da enfermeira obstetra na assistência ao parto: uma revisão de literatura(Universidade Catolica de Salvador, 2017-06-12) Veloso, Lanna Cristina de Souza; Mendes, Fernanda Cardeal; http://lattes.cnpq.br; Mendes, Fernanda Cardeal; http://lattes.cnpq.br; Martins, Maísa Mônica Flores; http://lattes.cnpq.br; Santos, Sélton Diniz dos; http://lattes.cnpq.brIn Brazil, the model of childbirth care is strongly related to the physician's performance and the majority of deliveries are performed in a hospital setting, where a high percentage of cesarean sections are present.

It is characterized as one of the main postoperative complications in this population, about 80%. Thus, due to the negative repercussions that this entails in the rehabilitation process and in the quality of life of these individuals, the present study aimed to carry out an update in the literature regarding phantom pain. A literature review was carried out in Portuguese and English related to phantom pain, lower limb amputations, diabetes mellitus (DM) and peripheral obstructive arterial disease (PAD) and their English translations. Of the 593 articles found, 64 were selected for analysis and 20 comprised the study. The incidence of amputations in Brazil has increased in the last years and there is a predominance in the lower limbs, in addition the main cause is vascular diseases. Phantom pain can be severe and difficult to control, it may appear for days, months and even years. Patients present pain sensations such as burning, cutting, stabbing, sharp sensations, and shooting; they also classify pain in the absent limb as something that interferes a great deal in their daily lives, often making it impossible to practice daily life activities. After a better understanding of the pathophysiology, the treatments began to appear with a greater impact, which reduced the presence of phantom pain in amputees and improved the quality of life of patients / clients, as well as the psychosocial benefits of these increasingly early interventionsItem Dry needling em indivíduos com lombalgia crônica: revisão sistemática(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2019-05-30) Calazans, Tainá Sales; Nunes, Achilles Motta; lattes.cnpq.br; Lira, Sintia Freitas Bastos; lattes.cnpq.br; Mota, Bruno; lattes.cnpq.brDry Needling acts directly on muscle fibers, causing a needle injury, and consequently releases local intracellular potassium. This technique aims to alter the biochemical environment by reducing spontaneous electrical activity within the region. Objective: To systematize bibliographic studies about the effectiveness of Dry Needling in individuals with chronic low back pain. Methods: The searches were performed in the electronic databases Pubmed, MedLine, LILACS, Ibecs.

Using as Dry Needling descriptors. Backache. Chronic pain. Physiotherapy and its correspondents in English. Analyzed methodologically in the PEDro scale. Randomized clinical trials that used Dry Needling as a treatment in adult individuals with chronic low back pain were included in the study. And we excluded studies that had the technique applied in samples such as corpses, pregnant women, women in labor. Results: The literature shows that Dry Needling is effective in the treatment of low back pain in adults. We found 21 articles, of which 12 were excluded after filtering the clinical trials, and 08 studies after reading the titles and abstracts. Only four articles met the inclusion criteria and were eligible for the study, proving the efficacy of the technique. Conclusion: It is concluded that the technique can be included as another therapeutic modality in the treatment for low back pain.

Methods: this is a randomized clinical trial. A total of 14 female soccer players participated in the study. A sociodemographic and clinical questionnaire was applied to the participating athletes, after was performed evaluations in the isokinetic dynamometer of knee extensors and flexors. Participants were randomly divided into two groups, with one intervention group (IG) and one control group (CG). Participants in the IG performed routine warming of the SMR associated club with a foam roller. The participants in the CG did the same warming, but without SMR association. After 48 hours of isokinetic evaluation, the SMR protocol was started, which lasted two weeks and was applied to the quadriceps, hamstring and calf muscle groups. After 48 hours of the last intervention, a reevaluation was performed in the isokinetic dynamometer. Results: there were no significant effects between groups in the post-test. In the pre- and post-test comparison between groups, there was a significant decline in the peak torque variable of extension of the dominant lower limb in the non-SMR group (p = 0.013). Conclusion: it was concluded that a chronic SMR approach was not able to generate significant changes in muscle strength, but it seems to reduce the harmful effects generated by high training volumes.Item Efetividade da auto liberação miofascial sobre a flexibilidade dos jogadores de futebol: revisão sistemática(Universidade Católica do Salvador, 2019-05-31) Paiva, Danielle Mendes; Costa Neto, José Fernando Pereira; lattes.cnpq.br; Costa Neto, José Fernando Pereira; lattes.cnpq.br; Duplat, Yuri Santos; lattes.cnpq.br; Tavares, Jorge Eduardo; lattes.cnpq.brself myofascial release consists of a type of massage that uses body weight to release the fascia with the use of objects, in this case, the foam rollig, the region benefit from the technique receives greater blood supply extends the fascia and translates improves flexibility.
