Efeito de intervenção fisioterápica na marcha de indivíduo com alteração rotacional de quadril: um estudo piloto

Abstract

The rotational changes, angles and postural of the lower limbs of children and adolescents are a constant concern from parents and health professionals, because he constantly seek alternative therapies for the improvement of walking and running during the growth phase. The objective of this study was to verify the physiotherapeutic intervention influences in the kinematics of the hip during the adolescent's march that presents alteration rotational interns of hip. It participated in the study a female adolescent, with 16 years of age, corporal mass of 59 kg, 1,63 m of stature. The analyses of the march were accomplished through the system Vicon®, using seven cameras with frequently of 100Hz. The treatment was accomplished during one month, totaling 10 physiotherapy sessions, limiting exclusively to the lame-femoral articulation, has been accomplished prolongation, invigoration, muscular proprioception and relaxation. The angular space variables in the transverse plan presented improvements in response to the intervention. In the front plan, they were not found differences in the angular parameters. The discoveries of the study revealed that the rotational in the hip post intervention caused important changes in the march and in the posture of the inferior members, providing decrease of internal rotation of hip and rotation increase expresses during the whole cycle of the march.
