“…Outra medida utilizada neste estudo foi a Figura Oito (19), a qual mede especi icamente a região do tornozelo e do pé e possui alta correlação com a volumetria e alta coniabilidade intra e interavaliadores (30,32). Dessa forma, complementou-se a perimetria classicamente utilizada, que afere apenas coxa e perna, com uma especí ica do tornozelo, a região mais acometida e atendidos em isioterapia dermatofuncional e apontaram que o linfedema teve prevalência em 37,5% dos casos, nos MMII, em 58,3%, sendo que 83% eram mulheres e 75% de origem secundária, após ressecção tumoral.…”

“…Foram mensurados seis níveis de perimetria nos membros, a partir da linha poplítea como marco zero, em direção à coxa e à perna, medindo-se a cada 7 cm, e uma medida especí ica do tornozelo e do pé -a Figura Oito (19). O volume do membro foi calculado pela fórmula do cone truncado: V = h. (C² + c² + Cc) / 12 π, em que: V = volume; h = distância entre (C) circunferência proximal da coxa (+21 cm) e (c) distal da perna (-21 cm); e π = 3,14159 (10,17,20 (14) recomenda a utilização da Terapia Física Complexa (Complex Physical Therapy -CPT), a qual inclui drenagem linfática manual estratégi-ca, cuidados com a pele, enfaixamento compressivo inelástico ou contensão elástica, pressoterapia, cinesioterapia e autodrenagem.…”

ResumoIntrodução: O linfedema é um acúmulo de proteína no interstício em virtude de de iciência do sistema linfático, sendo recomendada a utilização da Terapia Física Complexa como forma de tratamento. Objetivo: Veri icar os efeitos da Terapia Física Complexa no tratamento e na manutenção do linfedema bilateral de membros inferiores. Métodos: Participaram deste estudo sete pacientes com linfedema bilateral nos membros inferiores, de faixa etária entre 59 e 85 anos, os quais foram submetidos a: 1ª avaliação isioterapêutica, quando permaneceram sem tratamento (período controle); 2ª avaliação, quando receberam o tratamento isioterapêutico (período tratamento -terapia ísica complexa -fase de redução); 3ª avaliação, quando receberam alta (período manutenção -terapia ísica complexa -fase de manutenção); e 4ª avaliação, para acompanhamento desse último período. O intervalo entre cada avaliação foi de 10 a 12 semanas. Os dados da perimetria foram transformados em volume do membro, por meio da fórmula do cone truncado, e a região do tornozelo foi avaliada pelo método da Figura volume dos membros foi de 62,32 cm e 6233 ml, 62,57 cm e 6308 ml, 56,75 cm e 5505 ml, 57 cm e 5566 ml, respectivamente para 1ª, 2ª, 3ª e 4ª avaliações. Pelos testes de Friedman e Wilcoxon, observou-se diferença signi icativa entre a 3ª e a 4ª avaliações, quando comparadas à 1ª e à 2ª (p < 0,001), para ambas as variá-veis, mostrando redução signi icante do linfedema e sua estabilização durante o período de manutenção. Conclusão: A terapia ísica complexa foi e icaz no tratamento e na manutenção do linfedema bilateral de membros inferiores.[P]Palavras-chave: Linfedema. Extremidade inferior.

“…As with the FAAM ADL subscale, the final score of the FAAM sports subscale was standardised to a 0–100 scale where 0 = worst level of physical function, 100 = highest level of physical function. Swelling was measured by the ‘figure‐of‐eight’ method (mean of three repeated measurements) with the ankle in a neutral position for eversion and inversion while flexed to 90 degrees. Normal function/activity was measured on a 5‐point scale (0 = normal, 4 = severely restricted because of pain) and change from baseline was calculated.…”

BackgroundAcute ankle sprains are common and activity limiting injuries, and topical diclofenac gel has proven efficacy in alleviating pain and restoring function. This trial aimed to compare a topical natural agent, Traumeel with topical diclofenac gel (1%) in the management of acute ankle sprain.MethodsThis prospective, multicentre, randomised, blinded, active-control and non-inferiority study involved 449 physically active adults sustaining unilateral grade 1 or 2 ankle sprain within the past 24 h. Participants were randomised to receive 2 g of Traumeel ointment (T-O) (n = 152) or Traumeel gel (T-G) (n = 150) or diclofenac gel (D-G) (n = 147), administered topically to the ankle three times a day for 14 days, with 6-weeks follow up.ResultsDay 7 median percentage reductions in Visual Analogue Scale pain score were 60.6%, 71.1% and 68.9% for the T-O, T-G and D-G groups, respectively. Total pain relief was reported by 12 (8.5%), 7 (5.0%) and 8 (5.9%) participants in each group, respectively. Median improvements in Foot and Ankle Ability Measure Activities of Daily Living subscale score were 26.2, 26.2 and 25.0 points for T-O, T-G and D-G groups, respectively. Mann–Whitney effect sizes and lower bound confidence intervals demonstrated non-inferiority of Traumeel vs. diclofenac for reducing pain and functional improvement. At 6 weeks, participants reported total pain relief and normal functioning. Adverse events (n = 43) were reported by 31/447 participants (6.9%). Treatments were equally well tolerated.ConclusionsT-O and T-G decreased pain and improved joint function to the same extent as D-G in acute ankle sprain, and were well tolerated.

“…Ankle and mid-foot edema was measured using the figure-of-eight procedure described by Esterson 15 and modified by Petersen. 16 This is performed by using a flexible tape measure with the zero point positioned in the groove at the edge of the lateral malleolus, approximately midway between the prominence of the tibialis anterior tendon and lateral malleolus.…”

Background: Ankle injuries account for up to 40% of all sport related injuries. These injuries can result in weeks to months of missed sport or work. The PRICE (Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) treatment is standard care for most acute ankle sprains. Recently, early mobilization in adults has been shown to decrease time off from sport or work, and the likelihood of developing chronic instability. To date, no research has been performed assessing the effectiveness of early mobilization in pediatric patients (<18 years). Purpose: There were two objectives of this study: (1) to determine if early ankle joint mobilization using elastic band traction is effective and (2) assess the occurrence of adverse events with this technique in the pediatric population. Methods:Patients with an acute ankle sprain of <7 days referred to physical therapy were randomly assigned to receive early mobilization or PRICE. Early mobilization was performed using a stretch band ankle traction technique. Both groups received a standardized rehabilitation program. Pain, edema, ankle strength using hand-held dynamometry, and Foot and Ankle Disability Index (FADI) were measured at both initial evaluation and at discharge. The number of days before return to sport and the number of treatment sessions were also variables of interest.Results: Forty-one pediatric patients were recruited for participation (mean age 14.6 + 1.9 years). Both treatment groups had clinically significant improvements in pain, edema, strength, and FADI scores. No significant differences in outcomes were noted between treatment groups. Mean number of days for return to sport for the PRICE group was 26.33 + 7.14 and the early mobilization group was 26.63 + 14.82, the difference between groups was not significant (p= 0.607). The number of total visits for the PRICE group of 8.07 + 2.63 and the early mobilization groups of 8.5 + 1.57, was also not statistically significantly different (p= 0.762). There were no reported adverse events with early mobilization. Conclusion:Early mobilization appears to be a safe intervention in pediatric patients with an acute ankle sprain. Early mobilization resulted in similar outcomes when compared to traditional PRICE treatment. A high drop-out rate in both treatment groups was a limitation of this randomized trial. Level of evidence: 1b
