    Medidas de avaliação de qualidade de vida e estados de saúde em ortopedia
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, 2007-12-01) Lopes, Andréa Diniz [UNIFESP]; Ciconelli, Rozana Mesquita [UNIFESP]; Reis, Fernando Baldy dos [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Measurements of quality of life and health status have been emphasized by the orthopedic community because they allow for an analysis of the health status and disease manifestations according to the own point of view of the individual. Studies have carefully analyzed the tools available and published recommendations for the most adequate choice of such tools. This study provides a brief description of the types of instruments, their application, their validation procedure, the instruments that are more commonly seen in the international literature, and those available for use in Brazil.

    Obstacles to return to work: Translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the questionnaire to the Brazilian context
    (Abrasco, 2018) Milani, Daniela; Souza, Ana Claudia de; Hirayama, Marcio Sussumu [UNIFESP]; Alexandre, Neusa Maria Costa
    The few existing questionnaires addressing return to work in Brazil are medical and/or psychological and do not examine work environment-related issues. The Obstacles to Return-to-Work Questionnaire (ORTWQ) is multidimensional, including biopsychosocial and environmental factors, and has proven useful in the return to work issue. The scope of this study is to describe the translation and cultural adaptation process of ORTWQ for use in the Brazilian context. It also discusses aspects related to work and the importance for health professionals to identify obstacles to return to work for occupational health vigilance. For the cultural adaptation process, there were five steps: translation, synthesis, back translation, evaluation by an expert committee and the pre-test process. Before the pre-test phase, the Content Validity Index was checked and was considered adequate when it was >= 0.8. The expression "increase working hours" was withdrawn from the questionnaire, since the partial return-to-work regime is rare in Brazil. The sample for the pre-test involved 40 individuals. The average time for completing ORTWQ was 14 minutes and the Brazilian version of ORTWQ proved to be adequate. Further studies should assess psychometric qualities of the questionnaire.

    Treinamento resistido progressivo nas doenças musculoesqueléticas crônicas
    (Sociedade Brasileira de Reumatologia, 2009-12-01) Jorge, Renata Trajano [UNIFESP]; Souza, Marcelo Cardoso de [UNIFESP]; Jones, Anamaria [UNIFESP]; Lombardi Júnior, Imperio [UNIFESP]; Jennings, Fábio [UNIFESP]; Natour, Jamil [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
    INTRODUCTION: Progressive resistance training has been suggested as a therapeutic modality that attempts to promote the standardization of the prescription of physical exercises in physical therapy, besides optimizing the results of the treatment. OBJECTIVE: To review studies that used progressive resistance training in chronic musculoskeletal diseases and to demonstrate the importance of including this type of training in the rehabilitation of those diseases. SOURCE OF THE DATA: Pubmed, Medline, and Lilacs databases were reviewed without restrictions of date and/or language. REVIEW: Due to the countless benefits attributed to this treatment modality, the importance of exercises in physical therapy has been well documented. Despite the proven efficacy, high-intensity exercises are not routinely prescribed, and this prescription is usually not standardized, which does not allow a consensus on the type of strengthening used, as well as load calculation and progression. Progressive resistance training implies the gradual increase in load during the training period. The number of repetitions that each individual can complete depends on the calculation of the maximal repetition. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings of this review, the use of progressive resistance training to complement traditional exercises used in rehabilitation of chronic musculoskeletal diseases is recommended in order to standardize treatment protocols, with adequate control of individual load, and to optimize training results. However, it should be emphasized that further studies are necessary for more reliable conclusions.
