Glänzel, MH, Rodrigues, DR, Petter, GN, Pozzobon, D, Vaz, MA, and Geremia, JM. Foam rolling acute effects on myofascial tissue stiffness and muscle strength: a systematic review and meta-analysis. J Strength Cond Res 37(4): 951–968, 2023—Foam rolling (FR) is widely used in rehabilitation and physical training. However, the effects of FR on myofascial tissue stiffness and muscle strength remain unclear. This study aimed to perform a systematic review with meta-analysis of trials that tested the FR acute effects during warm-up on the myofascial tissue stiffness and muscle strength in healthy adults or athletes. This systematic review (CRD42021227048) was performed according to Cochrane's recommendations, with searches performed in PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and PEDro databases. Syntheses of included studies' data were performed, and the PEDro scale was used to assess the methodological quality of the studies. Certainty of evidence was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluations approach. Twenty included studies assessed trunk and thigh fascial tissue stiffness, and thigh and calf muscle stiffness, whereas muscle strength was assessed in the knee extensors and flexors, and plantar flexors muscles. Qualitative analysis showed decreases in fascial (n = 2) and muscle (n = 5) stiffness after FR. However, the meta-analysis showed no effects of FR on myofascial tissue stiffness. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses showed no effects of FR on isometric muscle strength, eccentric torque, and rate of force development. However, the knee extensor concentric torque increased after FR. Foam rolling increases the knee extensor concentric torque, but it does not acutely change the myofascial tissue stiffness and isometric muscle strength. However, evidence of these studies provides low certainty to state that FR does not change these parameters. Therefore, high methodological quality studies should be performed to better ascertain the effects of FR on the myofascial tissue stiffness and muscle strength.
This study derives from the project Funcionalidade do membro superior de mulheres pós-mastectomia radical modificada com e sem reconstrução mamária (Functionality of the upper limb of women after modified radical mastectomy without breast reconstruction), developed at Universidade Federal de Santa Maria -Santa Maria (RS), Brazil. RESUMEN | Con la evolución de las técnicas oncoplásticas que permiten la reconstrucción de la mama en el mismo instante de la mastectomía, sin comprometer la seguridad oncológica, resulta pertinente investigar las implicaciones de la reconstrucción inmediata con expansor o prótesis de silicona sobre el dolor, la funcionalidad del miembro superior homolateral a la cirugía y la calidad de vida (CV) de las mujeres. El objetivo de este estudio ha sido comparar el dolor, la funcionalidad y la CV de mujeres sometidas a la mastectomía radical modificada con reconstrucción mamaria inmediata y sin reconstrucción. Se trata de un estudio transversal, comparativo y descriptivo con abordaje cuantitativo, que evaluó 22 voluntarias postmastectomía radical modificada, divididas igualmente en dos grupos, de acuerdo a la realización de la reconstrucción mamaria inmediata (RI) o sin reconstrucción (SR). Las voluntarias han contestado al cuestionario sociodemográfico, clínico y de tratamiento oncológico, la EVA, para medir el dolor, DASH para evaluar la funcionalidad del miembro superior y, para evaluar la CV, se utilizó el cuestionario EORTC QLQ-C30 con su módulo específico para el CA de mama.Hubo alta prevalencia de dolor, moderada limitación funcional y satisfactoria CV. Sin embargo, no se encontraron diferencias significativas intergrupos para el dolor (p=0.586), funcionalidad (p=0.399) y CV (p>0.05). Para la muestra evaluada, hacer o no la reconstrucción de la mama con expansor o implante de silicona en el acto de la mastectomía no implicó sobre el dolor, la funcionalidad y la CV.Palabras clave | Neoplasias de la Mama; Dolor; Extremo Superior; Calidad de Vida; Mastectomía Radical Modificada.
