ResumoA síndrome do ombro doloroso é considerada um achado comum em pacientes que sofreram acidente vascular cerebral. Várias modalidades terapêuticas são apontadas para melhoria do quadro clínico dos pacientes. Neste relato, será apresentado um caso de síndrome do ombro doloroso, cujo tratamento consistiu no emprego de toxina botulínica A associada à fisioterapia. Após quatro meses de tratamento, houve melhorias significativas quanto à dor, espasticidade, amplitude de movimento e qualidade de vida, e isso sugere ser essa associação terapêutica uma ferramenta eficaz contra os efeitos incapacitantes relacionados a esta síndrome.

AbstractThe syndrome of the painful shoulder is considered a common finding in patients who suffered stroke. Several therapeutic modalities are suggested for the improvement of the patients' clinical condition. In this report, a case of syndrome of the painful shoulder will be discussed, whose treatment consisted of the use of botulinum toxin A associated to physiotherapy. After a four-month treatment, significant improvements occurred concerning pain, spasticity, range of motion and quality of life, suggesting that this therapeutic association is an efficient tool against the incapacitating effects related to this syndrome.
Purpose: In this study, we examined knowledge and perspectives pertaining to pelvic health physiotherapy among medical, midwifery, nursing, and physician assistant students at McMaster University. Moreover, we identified opportunities to improve knowledge translation to facilitate inter-professional education in urogynecological care. Method: A cross-sectional design was created to distribute an online survey to participants using a modified Dillman approach. The survey assessed areas of clinical interest in, knowledge of the scope of practice of, and regulations governing pelvic health physiotherapy in specific, in addition to clinical applications. Fisher’s exact and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to assess statistical significance. Results: A total of 90% of the participants incorrectly indicated that internal digital exams could be delegated to physiotherapy assistants, and 50% believed that Kegel exercises were appropriate for all presentations of pelvic floor dysfunction. Moreover, when prompted to select conditions that could be treated by pelvic health physiotherapists, only 2% of the participants selected the correct conditions. Conclusions: Knowledge in all four programmes about the scope of practice, authorized activities, and application of pelvic health physiotherapy is inadequate. To foster the optimal integration of urogynecology into the relevant health science curriculums, enhanced inter-professional education, inclusive of pelvic health physiotherapy knowledge, appears to be needed.
Objetivo: analisar as facilidades e dificuldades maternas para seguimento ambulatorial de crianças de risco no programa de follow-up após a alta hospitalar. Método: pesquisa qualitativa e descritiva, realizada com mães de recém nascidos de risco usuários do programa follow-up em hospital da rede pública de João Pessoa (PB). Realizou-se uma entrevista norteada por formulário e os dados analisados por meio da análise temática. Resultados: revelou-se que as mães externaram a programação sistemática das consultas, os atos de acolhimento, a busca ativa das crianças e a dialogicidade com a equipe como aspectos facilitadores para o seguimento ambulatorial; como fatores dificultadores surgiram a sobrecarga física resultantes das tarefas domésticas e cuidado da criança, a falta de apoio da rede familiar, a escassez de recursos financeiros e a insuficiência do tranporte coletivo. Conclusão: constatou-se facilidades e dificuldades maternas para o seguimento ambulatorial de crianças de risco. É preciso maior vigilância dos fatores revelados para prevenir a descontinuidade do tratamento especializado da criança de risco.
