Distrofia muscular de Duchenne é uma doença genética na qual ocorre uma degeneração progressiva e irreversível do tecido muscular, sendo de rápida evolução. O tratamento visa preservar o quadro clínico funcional e motor, postergando o processo degenerativo. Objetivo. Demonstrar a aplicabilidade do uso das escalas de Vignos, para o estadiamento da doença, a escala Egen Klassifikation para quantificar o grau de limitações funcionais e respiratórias e a Medida de Função Motora para averiguar a gravidade e progressão da doença. Método. Realizou-se um levantamento bibliográfico de artigos científicos, livros e dissertações publicadas no período de 2000 a 2011, em português, inglês e espanhol. Utilizando as bases de dados Medline, Lilacs e Scielo. Selecionou-se um total de 25 artigos científicos, 1 dissertação e 2 livros. Conclusão. a aplicabilidade destas escalas auxilia o profissional da saúde a definir as condutas terapêuticas, acompanhar a evolução clínica, avaliar o resultado do tratamento ou a necessidade de alterará-lo, além de possibilitar a realização de novas pesquisas, com o escopo de fornecer uma melhor qualidade de vida aos portadores da doença.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a genetic disease in which there is a progressive and irreversible degeneration of muscle tissue, and rapidly evolving. Treatment aims to preserve the functional and motor status, delaying the degenerative process. Objective. Demonstrate the applicability of using Vignos scales, for the disease stage, Egen Klassifikation, which quantifies the degree of functional and respiratory limitations and Motor Function Measure, which evaluate the seriousness and disease progression. Method. It was conducted a literature review of scientific articles, books and dissertations published from 2000 to 2011, in Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. Using the Medline, Lilacs and Scielo databases, a total of 25 scientific papers, a dissertation and two books was selected. Conclusion. the applicability of the scales mentioned above have the ability to assist health professionals in time to plot and conduct the clinical track. With the continued application of the same it is possible to follow the way the disease progresses during the treatment period and shows an ability to change behavior as needed, and help in carrying out new research, with the aim of providing a higher quality of life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
