“…It was also possible to assess the choice of data collection instruments used and their effectiveness both in the application and understanding of the subjects concerning the easiness in obtaining answers. In relation to the WE, a protocol previously tested was used ( 8 ) , which was changed with the addition of segmental stabilization techniques, chain and segmental muscle stretching and active kinesiotherapy ( 13 - 15 ) .…”

“…The WE protocol adopted in this study was developed by the first author, using the following exercises and techniques: postural exercises, segmental stabilization and segmental and muscular chain stretching ( 13 - 15 ) . The segmental stretching were the most performed exercises, since they are typical of the WE and they occurred as follows: in the 1 st week, exercises for the cervical spine and neck were performed; in the 2 nd week, cervical and shoulder; 3 rd week, shoulder; 4 th week, forearm, wrist, hand; 5 th week, all segments of the upper limbs (cervical, shoulder, wrist and hand); 6 th week, spine; 7 th week, hip (flexor, extensor, adductor, abductor group); 8 th week, all segments of the lower limbs (posterior muscle chain) and active ankle and feet kinesiotherapy; and 9 th and 10 th weeks, combination of all cervical exercises, upper and lower limbs.…”

OBJECTIVES: to assess the effect of a compensatory workplace exercise program on workers with the purpose of reducing work-related stress and musculoskeletal pain. METHOD: quasi-experimental research with quantitative analysis of the data, involving 30 administrative workers from a Higher Education Public Institution. For data collection, questionnaires were used to characterize the workers, as well as the Workplace Stress Scale and the Corlett Diagram. The research took place in three stages: first: pre-test with the application of the questionnaires to the subjects; second: Workplace Exercise taking place twice a week, for 15 minutes, during a period of 10 weeks; third: post-test in which the subjects answered the questionnaires again. For data analysis, the descriptive statistics and non-parametric statistics were used through the Wilcoxon Test. RESULTS: work-related stress was present in the assessed workers, but there was no statistically significant reduction in the scores after undergoing Workplace Exercise. However, there was a statistically significant pain reduction in the neck, cervical, upper, middle and lower back, right thigh, left leg, right ankle and feet. CONCLUSION: the Workplace Exercise promoted a significant pain reduction in the spine, but did not result in a significant reduction in the levels of work-related stress.

“…Sitting for long periods can lead to loss of abdominal muscle strength and a tendency to misalignment of spine vertebrae (GALDINO;SOARES, 2001). Low back pain can be predisposed by limited flexibility of the hip and lumbar spine and can restrict the performance of individual tasks (PINHEIRO;GOES, 2010).…”

“…The beneficial effects are evidenced in functional activities, in preventing injuries, in postural training and muscle relaxation (GAJDOSIK et al, 2005;GAMA et al, 2009). Moreover, this activity can reduce the incidence of musculoskeletal pain and improve the subjective perception of pain Stretching generates immediate effect and a single session can increase muscle flexibility (maximum physiological passive range) and joint motion (HARVEY et al, 2002;PINHEIRO;GOES, 2010), favoring the well-being, reducing the incidence of diseases and their repercussions at economic, social and quality of life levels (WINTERS et al, 2004;PINHEIRO;GOES, 2010).…”

ABSTRACT. This study aimed to provide an interaction time among pediatric caregivers performing group stretching activities, and to verify the effectiveness of a stretching session to improve flexibility. Caregivers of the pediatric ward of a university hospital participated in a group activity, with 17 static postures of self-stretching techniques, held each position for 30 seconds. Muscle flexibility was assessed before and after the stretching session, using the Bank of Wells, capable of measuring the flexibility of the posterior muscle chain. After a single series of global stretching, the elongation of the posterior muscle chain of the subjects significantly increased, with a gain of 18.05%. Furthermore, participants reported reduction in muscle pain and greater willingness to perform the tasks throughout the day, with a moment of leisure to help them cope with the situation they were in. Therefore, the program of stretching activities for hospital caregivers improved the flexibility in only one session, and represents an important intervention for the promotion of welfare and physical interaction between caregivers and staff, since it is one more possibility for physical therapists to work within the hospital context. Keywords: muscle stretching, escort patients, intervention unit, pediatrics.Intervenção com alongamento aos acompanhantes pediátricos de Hospital Universitário RESUMO. Este estudo teve como objetivo proporcionar momentos de interação entre os acompanhantes pediátricos com a realização atividade de alongamento em grupo e verificar a eficácia de uma sessão de alongamento na melhora da flexibilidade. Acompanhantes da enfermaria de pediatria de um hospital universitário realizaram atividade em grupo, com técnicas de autoalongamento estático em 17 posturas, mantido em cada postura por 30 segundos. A flexibilidade muscular foi avaliada antes e após a sessão de alongamentos, utilizando o banco de Wells, capaz de mensurar a flexibilidade da cadeia muscular posterior. Observou-se que, após uma única série de alongamento global, houve aumento significativo do alongamento da cadeia muscular posterior dos indivíduos estudados, com um ganho de 18,05%. Além disso, os participantes referiram melhora da dor muscular e disposição para realização das tarefas ao longo do dia, sendo um momento de lazer dentro do ambiente hospitalar, importante para amenizar a difícil situação em que se encontravam. Portanto, o programa de atividades com alongamentos para acompanhantes hospitalares melhorou a flexibilidade em apenas uma sessão, bem como representa uma intervenção importante na promoção do bem-estar físico e interação entre acompanhantes e equipe de profissionais, tratando-se de mais uma possibilidade de atuação de fisioterapeutas no contexto hospitalar.Palavras-chave: exercício de alongamento muscular, acompanhantes de pacientes, unidade de intervenção, pediatria.

“…The increasing in ROM is possible because the stretching techniques influence muscle extensibility and joint flexibility (16,17). Extensibility is the ability of muscle to extend, stretching the muscular fibers, increasing muscle length.…”

Effects of three protocols of hamstring muscle stretching and paravertebral lumbar

Introduction the muscle stretching is widely used to gain extensibility and flexibility, it is important to know the duration of these effects, after return to usual activity level. Thus, the aim of this study was to analyze the effect of three protocols of hamstring and paravertebral lumbar muscles stretching, and joint flexibility and muscle extensibility after six weeks. Methods participants were 40 volunteers, with limited hamstring extensibility, randomized into three groups: active stretching static (n = 14), proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (n = 14) and kinesiostretching (n = 12). The protocol was divided into 3 stages: the 1st control (six weeks), the 2nd application of stretch (six weeks) and the 3rd follow-up (eight weeks). The project was approved by the Ethics Committee on Human Research Unioeste, under protocol number 25536/2008. Four evaluations were conducted with board coupled to a system and goniometry and Well´s bench, distributed at the beginning and end of each step. Data were analyzed with repeated measures ANOVA, and one-way, with a significance level of 5%. Results there was no significant difference for the three groups in the control stage. There were significant differences in the three protocols in the stage of stretching. After follow-up stage, there was significant difference in the ratings to the board goniometry, and there was no difference in the Well’s Bench. Conclusion the three techniques promoted significant gain in extensibility and flexibility, extensibility was not maintained after the follow-up stage, and the flexibility of the posterior chain continued gains.
