Avaliação da fatigabilidade em pacientes com esclerose múltipla através do dinamômetro manual

Abstract: A fadiga é um dos mais freqüentes sintomas e incapacitantes na esclerose múltipla (EM). O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a fatigabilidade em pacientes com EM pela aplicação de exercícios isotônicos e isométricos com dinamômetro manual. Como resultados, a fatigabilidade, a força e o tempo máximo de isometria são semelhantes estatisticamente entre o grupo controle e o grupo de EM. Conclui-se que embora a queixa subjetiva de fadiga seja freqüente na EM, a fatigabilidade e a recuperação após o exercício d… Show more

“…Importantly, in patients with MS the fatigue that arises is possibly of multifactorial origin (central and/or peripheral) and is related to immune and central changes, inability to maintain a central impulse for spinal motor neurons due to demyelination, lack of physical conditioning and changes in the neuromuscular plate (35). In addition, in studies conducted by Solari et al (36) it was observed that people with MS presented dif iculties in the learning process to carry out the task required in the Timed 25-Foot Walk, therefore, this may be an effective test to monitor the progress of patients, since the results of the present study show that in the relapsing-remitting phase there is already a signi icant reduction in the walking speed of MS patients when compared with healthy subjects.…”

“…Early muscle fatigue can be a debilitating symptom. Its evaluation allows to characterize and quantify this symptom, and thus serves as a resource for clinical diagnosis and for the selection of the best treatment strategy for the patient and for the determination of whether the chosen treatment is effective (39). It can be assessed subjectively through self-report measures with the use of questionnaires or scales based on the perception of the individual (40).…”

“…Cerca de 75% dos pacientes afetados apresentam em alguma fase da doença a fadiga, presença de dor e/ou fraqueza muscular impossibilitando a realização de suas atividades de vida diária (AVDs). A fadiga experimentada pelos pacientes com EM é diferente da que acomete indivíduos saudáveis, ou com outras doenças e exerce claramente um grande fardo físico e psicológico podendo ter um impacto importante na qualidade de vida 3,4 .…”
