To describe the structural characteristics of TLF in children with hemiparesis.
MethodologyUltrasound was taken of the TLFs from both the apparently healthy and the affected side in 2 children (as), aged 8 and 10 years old, through the Philips iU22 device with a linear transducer located at 2 cm from the spinous process L2. Two variables were analyzed: thickness and echogenicity of the fascia. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the Faculty of Medicine of the National University of Colombia.
ResultsA variation in the thickness of the TLF of 67.96% and 34.32% was observed in the hemibodies of the participants, speaking of a possible fibrosis comparing the hemibodies, which may suggest a cause or consequence of the use or disuse of the same. 12 Likewise, there is a variation in the loose connective tissue, with a tendency to densify the TLF in two of the four intakes, which means a lower slippage of the fascial layers. 13 The echogenicity of the TLF showed a hyperechoic layer generating between homogeneous and heterogeneous ecotextures, which could correspond to infiltrations of the loose or adipose connective tissue in the TLF. 14 Thoracolumbar fascia in children with hemiparesis: analysis of two cases Volume 4 Issue 5 -2019
En los paradigmas del deporte, el cambio en la noción del cuerpo máquina a la corporeidad del deportista, evidencia la necesidad de abordar al sujeto deportista desde la dimensión subjetiva e intersubjetiva, valorando significados y sentidos de su práctica deportiva a partir del cuerpo vivido en relatos biográficos, que encarnan los desgastes y potencialidades de la categoría de cuerpo-ciclista. El presente artículo muestra los tránsitos y posibilidades de las narrativas de la corporeidad en el ciclismo, comunicando al mundo la necesidad de ser reconocidos como humanos, no como máquinas. Al comprender esta realidad, el diálogo del cuerpo con el entorno a través del dispositivo subjetivado (la bicicleta), permite reconocer las funciones cognitiva, práctica e identitaria de estas narraciones, tanto en el ciclista que narra, como en quien investiga. Es habitar la palabra, en este caso: pedaleada, es decir, incorporada y significada.
