RESUMO
Adaptations to 6 weeks of supervised hamstring stretching training and its potential impact on symptoms of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) were studied in 10 young, untrained men with limited hamstrings flexibility. Participants performed unilateral flexibility training (experimental leg; EL) on an isokinetic dynamometer, while the contralateral limb acted as control (CL). Hip range of motion (ROM), passive, isometric, and concentric torques, active optimum angle, and biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscle thickness and ultrasound echo intensity were assessed both before and after the training. Additionally, muscle soreness was assessed before and after an acute eccentric exercise bout in both legs (EL and CL) at post-training only. Hip ROM increased (P < .001) only in EL after the training (EL = 10.6° vs CL = 1.6°), but no changes (P > .05) in other criterion measurements were observed. After a bout of eccentric exercise at the end of the program, isometric and dynamic peak torques and muscle soreness ratings were significantly altered at all time points equally in EL and CL. Also, active optimum angle was reduced immediately, 48 and 72 hours post-exercise, and hip ROM was reduced at 48 and 72 hours equally in EL and CL. Finally, biceps femoris muscle thickness was significantly increased at all time points, and semitendinosus thickness and echo intensity significantly increased at 72 hours, with no significant differences between legs. The stretching training protocol significantly increased hip ROM; however, it did not induce a protective effect on EIMD in men with tight hamstrings.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the results of the arthroscopic treatment of refractory adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder with two to nine years of follow-up, comparing the pre-and postoperative range of motion. METHODS: This was an observational study (case series) of 18 patients who underwent arthroscopic capsular release for refractory shoulder stiffness. The mean age was of 53.6 years (range: 39 to 68), with female predominance (77.77%) and nine cases left shoulders. There were 6 primary (33.33%) and 12 secondary cases (66.67%). Arthroscopic capsular release was performed in all patients after a mean of 9.33 months of physical therapy (range: 6 to 20 months) with a minimum follow-up of two years (range: 26 to 110 months). RESULTS: The mean active and passive forward flexion, external rotation and internal rotation increased from 94.4º/103.3º, 11.9º/21.9º, and S1/L5 vertebral level, respectively, to 151.1º/153.8º, 57.2º/64.4º, and T12/T10 vertebral level, respectively. There was a significant difference between the pre-and postoperative range of motion (p < 0.001). according to the constant-murley functional score (rom), the value increased from 14 (preoperative mean) to 30 points (postoperative mean). postoperatively, all patients showed diminished shoulder pain (none or mild/15 or 10 points in the constant-murley score). CONCLUSION: arthroscopic treatment is an effective treatment for refractory shoulder stiffness.
OBJETIVO: Avaliar os resultados do tratamento artroscópico da capsulite adesiva refratária do ombro com dois a nove anos de seguimento, comparando o arco de movimentos pré e pós-operatório. MÉTODOS: Foi realizado um estudo observacional (série de casos) em 18 pacientes com ombros rígidos resistentes a tratamento conservador submetidos à capsulotomia artroscópica. A idade média foi de 53,6 anos (39 a 68), com predomínio do sexo feminino (77,77%) e nove ombros esquerdos. Houve seis primários (33,33%) e 12 secundários (66,67%). A liberação capsular artroscópica foi realizada em todos os pacientes, após uma média de 9,33 meses de fisioterapia (6 a 20 meses), com seguimento mínimo de dois anos (26 a 110 meses). RESULTADOS: A média da elevação anterior, rotação lateral e rotação medial ativa e passiva aumentaram de 94,4º/103,3º, 11,9º/21,9ºe S1/L5 níveis vertebrais para 151,1º/153,8º, 57,2º/64,4ºe T12/T10 níveis vertebrais, respectivamente. Houve uma significativa diferença entre a amplitude de movimentos pré-e pós-operatório (p < 0,001). de acordo com o escore funcional de constant-murley, o valor aumentou de 14 (média pré-operatória) para 30 pontos (média pós-operatória). no pós-operatório, todos os pacientes demonstraram uma diminuição da dor no ombro (nenhuma ou leve/15 ou 10 pontos no escore de constant-murley). CONCLUSÃO: O tratamento artroscópico é eficaz para a rigidez refratária do ombro.

Avaliou-se a resposta de diferentes protocolos fisioterapêuticos em cães após a indução de atrofia muscular por meio da imobilização do joelho por 30 dias. Os grupos foram denominados grupo C ou controle, grupo E (massagem, movimentação passiva e eletroterapia), grupo H (massagem, movimentação passiva e hidroterapia em esteira aquática) e grupo EH (massagem, movimentação passiva, eletroterapia e hidroterapia em esteira aquática). Foram mensurados os graus de claudicação, arco do movimento, circunferência da coxa e a variação sérica das enzimas creatina-quinase e lactato-desidrogenase. De acordo com os resultados encontrados, foi possível concluir que as modalidades terapêuticas de massagem, movimentação passiva da articulação, estimulação elétrica neuromuscular e hidroterapia por caminhada em esteira aquática aceleram a recuperação clínica em cães com atrofia muscular induzida.
The response of different physiotherapeutic treatment protocols was evaluated in dogs after muscle atrophy induced by joint immobilization for 30 days. Groups were named C group or control, E group (massage, passive range of motion and neuromuscular electrical stimulation), H group (massage, passive range of motion and aquatic therapy in underwater treadmill) and EH group (massage, passive range of motion, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and aquatic therapy in underwater treadmill). It was measured the degree of lameness, range motion, thigh circumference and range of serum creatine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH). According to the results, it was possible to conclude that associated therapeutics modalities such as massage, passive range of motion of the joint, neuromuscular electrical stimulation and aquatic therapy by walking on underwater treadmill accelerate clinical recovery in dogs with induced muscle atrophy.
