“…Embora saiba-se que a QV de indivíduos com ES seja prejudicada, especialmente em idosos [13][14][15] , e que a capacidade de gerar força tende a diminuir com o avanço da idade 19 , até o presente momento não haviam registros sobre a correlação da FPP e QV em idosos com ES. Este estudo demonstrou que com o aumento da FPP houve também melhora dos escores dos domínios da QV em um idoso longevo com ES.…”

A esclerose sistêmica (ES) é uma patologia crônica e autoimune do tecido conjuntivo, que causa perda da mobilidade, da funcionalidade, da amplitude de movimento, da força muscular e do condicionamento cardiopulmonar, e prejuízo na qualidade de vida. Este estudo objetivou verificar os efeitos de um programa de intervenção fisioterapêutica na força de preensão palmar e na qualidade de vida de um idoso longevo portador de ES. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, longitudinal e intervencionista. O paciente foi atendido no Serviço de Fisioterapia Reumatológica da Universidade de Passo Fundo e o protocolo de intervenção foi baseado em um programa de intervenção cinesioterapêutica. Para a mensuração da força de preensão palmar foi utilizado o Dinamômetro Kratos® e, para avaliação da qualidade de vida utilizou-se o SF-36. Os resultados demonstraram melhora da força de preensão palmar bilateral quando se compara os resultados das avaliações pré e pós intervenção, especialmente no membro esquerdo. No que diz respeito à qualidade de vida, observou-se melhora geral nos domínios do questionário SF-36. A cinesioterapia mostrou-se um método eficaz na melhora da força de preensão palmar e da qualidade de vida de um idoso longevo com ES.

“…[22][23][24][25] Muscle power generation is influenced by several morphological factors, which are related to tension per unit of mass, great activation capacity of the neuromuscular system, deterioration of contractile fibers, increase in the percentage of muscle infiltration by fat tissue, and decreased tendon stiffness, in addition to the reduction of muscle mass itself. 22,23,25 These factors may explain, in part, the low accuracy of mass in predicting strength shown in the study.…”

“…25 The causal factor may be related to the reduced voluntary activation of contractile tissue which is observed in individuals over the years and with advanced age. 20 Other information in the present study that agrees with previous studies was reduced cognitive function in elderly individuals with muscle weakness, compared to those with no weakness.…”

Introduction: The variables mass and skeletal muscle strength contribute to the diagnosis of sarcopenia. Objective: To evaluate the association between strength and skeletal muscle mass in hospitalized elderly persons. Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in a private hospital in the city of Salvador in Bahia. The study included individuals ≥60 years during their first and fifth day of hospitalization and who were neither sedated nor had taken vasoactive drugs. Muscle mass was calculated using an anthropometric equation and force was measured through handgrip strength. Muscle weakness was identified as <20 kgf for women and <30 kgf for men, and reduced muscle mass was when the muscle mass index was ≤8.9 kg/m 2 for men and ≤6.37 kg/m 2 for women. The Pearson correlation was used to evaluate the relationship between mass and strength and the accuracy of using mass to predict strength. Results: In 110 patients included, there was a moderate correlation between mass and strength (R=0.691; p=0.001). However, the accuracy of using mass to predict muscle strength was low (accuracy=0.30; CI 95% = 0.19-0.41; p=0.001). The elderly patients with muscle weakness were older than those without muscle weakness, with no differences between the other variables. Conclusion: There is a linear relation between skeletal muscle mass and strength, but mass did not predict strength, which suggests that the two measures continue to perform independently.

“…Subsequently, the MMSE was applied and the HGS test performed. In its implementation, the recommendations of the American Society of Hand Therapists (ASHT) were adopted, whereby measurement is performed with the individual seated on a chair without armrest and with feet flat on the floor, shoulder adducted, the elbow flexed at 90°, the forearm in a neutral position, and the wrist between 0 and 30° extension 15,17 . The dynamometer's mobile handle was placed in position II for women, position III for men or in another position above or below that mark if the subject's hand was anatomically larger or smaller than average 15 .…”
