Background: Good posture is the one that best fits our musculoskeletal system, balancing and distributing all the effort of our daily activities, encouraging the lowest overhead and helping to prevent pain. Objective: The purpose of this study was to verify the presence of musculoskeletal pain and postural deviations according to age and gender of visitors from the beaches of Santos and Guaruja cities. Methods: We evaluated 2394 subjects from 5 years of age being 43.27% males and 56.73% female. To determine the postural deviations and musculoskeletal pain were carried out data collection and assessment posture. Results: The total prevalence of pain and postural deviations were 64.66% and 63.28% respectively. The most affected area by pain was the backbone with 43.98% of the complaints, in which 17.04% of subjects evaluated cited as the lumbar region most affected. As for postural changes, the misalignment with scoliosis was the largest representation with 64.66%, followed by lumbar hyperlordosis with 38.18% and 30.03% with hyperkyphosis. Conclusion: It was concluded that the postural deviations and musculoskeletal pain have high prevalence among evaluated, especially in women and aged between 41 and 60 years, necessitating the implementation of programs aimed at prevention and correction of such findings.

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2010) Pinto, Laís de Oliveira [UNIFESP]; Beleza, Ana Carolina Sartorato [UNIFESP]; Sá, Cristina dos Santos Cardoso de [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9259523998158401; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4139635204538357; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5727875884963100; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
O câncer de mama é uma das doenças mais freqüentes que acomete o sexo feminino representando 10% de todos os tipos de câncer no mundo. A cirurgia é a etapa crucial do tratamento. Contudo, tal procedimento repercute em alterações anatômicas, fisiológicas e funcionais no corpo da mulher, que podem refletir diretamente em sua postura. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar as alterações posturais em mulheres submetidas a tal procedimento e comparar tais alterações com o tipo de cirurgia. Para tanto, foi realizado um estudo descritivo de corte transversal em uma entidade sem fins lucrativos do litoral paulista. A amostra foi composta por 23 voluntárias selecionadas por conveniência. Para a avaliação postural foi utilizado o software SAPO. No plano frontal 52,1% (12) das mulheres apresentaram rotação de cabeça à esquerda, 52,1% (12) elevação de ombro à direita, 56,5% (13) elevação da pelve à esquerda e 65,2% (15) inclinação de tronco à esquerda. Já no plano sagital, em 100% das mulheres foi observado anteriorização da cabeça, em 87% (20) deslocamento posterior do tronco e 82,6% (19) demonstraram ter anteversão pélvica. Não foi encontrada diferença significativa entre os tipos de cirurgia e as alterações posturais encontradas. Diante de tais achados, pode-se encontrar nesta amostra o seguinte padrão postural: rotação de cabeça à esquerda, elevação de ombro à direita, elevação da pelve à esquerda, inclinação de tronco à esquerda, anteriorização da cabeça, inclinação posterior do tronco e anteversão pélvica. Porém, essas alterações não apresentaram diferença significativa quando comparadas de acordo com o tipo de cirurgia

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2009-04-29) Davidson, Josy [UNIFESP]; Dos Santos, Amelia Miyashiro [UNIFESP]; Yi, Liu Chiao [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9925075057283150; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6101587222452300; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Objective: To determine the frequency and factors associated with thoracic musculoskeletal alterations in infants born premature and to analyze the accuracy and the reproducibility of photogrammetry to detect these alterations. Methods: Cross sectional study with infants in the first year of life, born from February/2007 to December/2008, with gestational age <37 weeks, birth weight <2000g and followed at the Premature Clinic of the Federal University of São Paulo. Major malformation, intraventricular hemorrhage grade III/IV and/or periventricular leucomalacia were excluded. Physical exam was used as a reference standard to determine the frequency and factors associated with thoracic alterations and for accuracy analysis, by ROC curve. Photographs were analyzed by a computer program to detect shoulder elevation and thoracic retraction by the measurement of manubrium/acromion process/trapezius angle and the greatest thoracic retraction depth. The study was approved by the Ethical Committee of the Institution and parents/guardians signed terms of informed consent. Results: Of 121 studied infants (gestational age: 31.1+2.8 weeks, birth weight: 1400+338g), 81 (66.9%) presented thoracic alterations. By logistic regression, factors associated with thoracic alterations were: days of corrected age (OR=1.018, CI95%: 1.004-1.019) and days on oxygen therapy (OR=1.096, CI 95%: 1.031-1.164). Compared to physical exam, the manubrium/acromion process/trapezius angle presented: accuracy: 0.793, sensitivity: 71.4%, specificity: 78.4%, intraclass and interclass correlation coefficient (ICC): 0.922 and 0.947. The greatest thoracic retraction depth showed: accuracy: 0.895, sensitivity: 96.6%, specificity: 75.9%, (ICC): 0.841 and 0.838. Conclusions: The frequency of thoracic alterations was high and associated with higher corrected age and longer oxygen therapy. The photogrammetry provided an objective, accurate and reliable test to detect thoracic alterations in preterm infants.

Angry posture
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Rosario, Jose Luis [UNIFESP]; Bezerra Diogenes, Maria Suely [UNIFESP]; Mattei, Rita [UNIFESP]; Leite, Jose Roberto [UNIFESP]
Postural abnormalities can affect the emotions and vice-versa. The aim of the present study was to investigate the existence of a relationship between subjective anger and body posture in 28 women, aged between 20 and 39 years, with a normal body mass index (or underweight) and an absence of neurological, psychiatric or musculoskeletal disorders. The postural parameters photographed were the inclination of the shoulders, protrusion of the head, hyperextension of the knees and shoulder elevation. The degree of anger was rated by analogue scales representing current and usual anger. The results indicated that a relationship exists between current anger and the inclination of the shoulders (p = 0.03), protrusion of the head (p = 0.05) and hyperextension of the knees (p = 0.05). Correlations were found between usual anger, shoulder elevation (p = 0.05) and hyperextension of the knees (p = 0.05). In conclusion, posture is associated with emotions, and usual anger can lead to shoulder protraction. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Autoavaliação da postura por idosos com e sem hipercifose torácica
(ABRASCO - Associação Brasileira de Saúde Coletiva, 2012-03-01) Gasparotto, Lívia Pimenta Renó [UNIFESP]; Reis, Camila Costa Ibiapina [UNIFESP]; Ramos, Luiz Roberto [UNIFESP]; Santos, José Francisco Quirino dos [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
This article lists the differences between self-perception of body posture among the elderly suffering from postural alterations or not, in order to ascertain whether self-evaluation of posture can lead to preventive measures. Eighteen cases from the elderly population participated in the EPIDOSO project at UNIFESP and were subjected to postural evaluation. Postures were photographed and copies given to the participants and their subsequent comments were analyzed by the qualitative method. The narratives were taped and cataloguedusingthe technique of theoretical axial and selective coding from the perspective of symbolic interactionism. A passive attitude was identified among the elderly in relation to postural alterations. There is a distortion of body image by those with postural deviation. Participants with adequate spinal alignment were more conscious about body posture and the importance of this being assimilated in the phases prior to aging. The adoption of postural self-care seems to occur in the earlier stages of aging and preventive measures should be implemented at this stage. Lack of concern about posture is linked to the concept of the elderly regarding the notion that aging is, in itself, the accumulation of inevitably simultaneous or successive dysfunctions.

(CEFAC Saúde e Educação, 2013-10-01) Simão, Sináira Santos Seixas; Romero, Vivian Urbanejo; Baraldil, Karen; Oda, Adriana Leico; Viana, Celiana Figueiredo [UNIFESP]; Chiappetta, Ana Lúcia de Magalhães Leal [UNIFESP]; Pieri, Alexandre [UNIFESP]; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Centro Universitário São Camilo; Universidade Nove de Julho; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
The Stroke is a neurological disorder that disables more adults. The breathing, posture and swallowing have a direct relationship in this disease, thus requiring a multidisciplinary approach. The goal of this study was to conduct a clinical evaluation integrated to analyze the relationship between these disorders. This case is a female patient aged 37 with six years of diagnosis of ischemic stroke with right hemiparesis complete predominantly crural, hypertension, dysphagia and dysarthrophonia. In history, reported symptoms related to dyspnea, pain in the lumbar spine, the presence of coughing and choking and drooling to food, especially during the speech. The patient has scoliosis, thoracic kyphosis and abdominal weakness. The evaluation showed a respiratory expiratory force below the expected range. The peak cough flow is lower than expected, demonstrating not have the strength to cough. The research revealed changes in speech increased time to eat, need to drink to help swallow solid food before any leaks, the need for multiple swallows due to the sense of stasis in laryngeal-pharyngeal cavity and decreased taste and thick and viscous saliva. Using physical and speech therapy evaluations, we concluded that a patient with stroke in chronic respiratory presents alterations that may prevent it from effectively protecting the lower airways, which, added to postural changes and swallowing show the importance of integrated assessment for future therapeutic interventions more effective.

(Instituto Israelita de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein, 2013-12-01) Haddad, Cinira Assad Simão [UNIFESP]; Saad, Marcelo; Perez, Maria Del Carmen Janeiro [UNIFESP]; Miranda Júnior, Fausto [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate alterations in posture and range of motion of the upper limbs in women after mastectomy and lymphadenectomy, submitted to radiotherapy as adjuvant treatment. METHODS: Two groups were evaluated: 16 post-mastectomy women with lymphedema of the upper limb and 14 post-mastectomy women without lymphedema. Patients were submitted to analysis made by software, one for posture and the other to measure ranges of movement of the shoulder, elbow, and wrists. The results obtained were compared between the right and left sides, and operated and non-operated sides, and then were submitted to statistical tests. RESULTS: Both groups presented with anteriorization of the trunk. The women with lymphedema had head rotation to the right, protrusion of the left shoulder, and trunk inclination angle smaller on the operated side, besides bilateral elevation of the scapula when compared to the group with no lymphedema. Changes in range of motion were also smaller on the operated side in terms of flexion, abduction, and external rotation of the shoulder for all women, and for those with lymphedema, elbow extension and wrist flexion had a smaller range of motion. CONCLUSION: Women submitted to mastectomy presented with asymmetries and modifications in posture, and lymphedema seemed to worsen this condition. Additionally, they had deficits in range of motion in the shoulders on the operated side. Women with lymphedema also showed deficits in the elbows and wrist.

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2019-04-29) Santos, Ana Lucia Yaeko da Silva [UNIFESP]; Sá, Cristina dos Santos Cardoso de [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Introduction: The main consequence of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is progressive muscular weakness, which affects the trunk control and upper limb motor function (UULL) of patients. Accurate assessment tools are needed to determine the best therapeutic approach and monitor its effectiveness. However, there are few studies to verify trunk control in relation to the UULL function of ambulatory and non-ambulatory patients. Objective: To verify trunk control and UULL motor function in patients with ambulatory, non-ambulatory DMD and children without dystrophinopathy. Methods: Cross-sectional study. The sample was selected according to a sample calculation, composed of children without dystrophinopathy and patients diagnosed with DMD, divided into ambulators (Vignos ≤ 6) and non ambulators (Vignos ≥ 7) from the Vignos score, which evaluates the staging of the disease. Subsequently the volunteers were evaluated by the following functional scales: (1) Segment Assessment Trunk Control (SATCo-Br), trunk control, (2) Performance of Upper Limb (PUL) and (3) Jebsen Taylor Test (TJT), function of the UULL. The data was based on the SPSS program, version 22 or R, version 3.5.2. To compare numerical and categorical variables, the Kruskal Wallis test was applied, followed by the Dunn test, the nominal variables were analyzed by the Qui Quadrado test. Results: The sample was made by 88 volunteers, 30 non ambulatory group, 29 ambulatory and 29 in the reference group. The difference between the groups in relation to scoliosis, pain, trunk control, function od the UULL, by PUL scale, however there was no difference between the ambulatory and the reference group in all the TJT subtests, and the writing subtest was no different between groups. Conclusion: The trunk control and function of the UULL, by PUL scale, are the best in the reference group, followed by the ambulatory group, and worse in the non ambulatory group. The function of the UULL, by TJT, is different between ambulatory and non ambulatory, except in subtest of writing. The SATCo, PUL and TJT have been able to characterize patients ambulatory and non ambulatory, which can be used by clinical trials to test the efficacy of drugs, genetic therapies and other therapeutic approaches.

(Federação Brasileira das Sociedades de Ginecologia e Obstetrícia, 2009-07-01) Miranda, Renata [UNIFESP]; Schor, Eduardo [UNIFESP]; Girão, Manoel João Batista Castello [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
OBJECTIVE: to evaluate by photogrammetry, postural changes in women with chronic pelvic pain. METHODS: thirty women with complaint of chronic pelvic pain and 37 without it, in a total of 67 women, were evaluated. The evaluation was realized through anamnesis, fixed markers in defined anatomical sites, and frontal, posterior, left and right lateral photographies. Photo analysis has been done by the software CorelDraw®, version 11.0. Quantitative values for postural analysis of the ankle, the knee in the saggittal plan, pelvis, lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, adducted/abducted scapula, shoulders, head and third finger on the floor test were obtained. The qualitative variables studied were the knee (varus, valgus or normal), the presence or not of winged scapula and leveling of shoulders. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences, version 16.0 was used for the statistical analyses. Fisher's exact test and Monte-Carlo method were used to compare the qualitative variables, and for the quantitative data, t or Mann-Whitney test was used. The comparisons among continuous data, corrected for possible confusion variables were realized by the univariate covariance analysis. Significance level was established at 0.05 or 5%. RESULTS: there were significant differences between cases and controls for protruded head (47.5 and 52.0º, respectively; p<0.0001) and for protruded shoulders (1.9 and 1.6 cm, respectively; p=0.03). The other variables did not show significant differences. CONCLUSIONS: based on these results, attention to head and shoulder posture, to antalgic postures and to the emotional factor is recommended. Women with chronic pelvic pain should be treated, taking into consideration individual muscle-skeletal changes, and social and emotional conditions.

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2020) Barros, Letícia Helena Laurentino Quintas de [UNIFESP]; Yi, Liu Chiao [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6106154677645509; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
A avaliação da postura dos pés é importante para prevenção de lesões, orientações de atendimento e até para compra de calçados. Para que isso seja feito de forma acessível, o aplicativo KnowFoot foi desenvolvido para smartphone com o objetivo de tornar as avaliações rápidas e intuitivas. Objetivo: Verificar a confiabilidade inter e intra avaliador do aplicativo KnowFoot. Método: Cinco avaliadores, durante sete dias, analisaram a postura dos pés de 100 voluntários por meio de fotografias previamente capturadas, sendo 15 indivíduos por dia. Após uma pausa de cinco dias, as mesmas fotos foram avaliadas novamente por mais sete dias, porém em ordem aleatorizada. Todo esse processo foi feito a distância e nenhum dos avaliadores entraram em contato entre si, além de não possuírem acesso às avaliações anteriores por eles mesmos realizadas. A análise dos dados inter e intra avaliador foi feita por meio do Coeficiente Kappa. Resultados: Foi encontrada de baixa a moderada confiabilidade inter avaliador e moderada confiabilidade intra avaliadores. Conclusão: Foi demonstrado confiabilidade intra e inter avaliadores, entre os dois tempos do mesmo avaliador e entre todos os avaliadores, apesar de moderada a baixa. Este achado sugere que o treinamento ao longo do tempo pode levar a maior precisão da ferramenta na classificação da postura dos pés

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo, 2022-01-24) Silva, Amanda Miranda Viana da [UNIFESP]; Lombardi Júnior, Imperio [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6748923176828764; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9277017279067514; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Introdução: Durante o processo fisiológico de envelhecimento, as alterações no sistema musculoesquelético são muito importantes, pois podem gerar incapacidade funcional. A lombalgia já é muito prevalente na população idosa, e muitos estudos analisam a relação desta doença com alterações posturais em adultos, porém pouco se sabe em relação à população idosa. Objetivos: investigar a correlação entre alterações posturais e lombalgia inespecífica em indivíduos idosos e os efeitos negativos das alterações posturais na saúde funcional dos idosos. Métodos: para a busca foram utilizadas as bases de dados PubMed, LILACS, PEDro e SciELO. Os critérios de inclusão foram: voluntários idosos, artigos que possuíssem os descritores Idoso ou, postura e Lombalgia, em inglês ou português. Resultados e discussão: foram encontrados 333 artigos, foram excluídos artigos que não se encaixavam nos critérios de elegibilidade, e destes, 10 foram incluídos na revisão. Os grupos avaliados de idosos com lombalgia em sua maioria apresentaram déficits no controle postural e em outros variáveis de medição da postura, incluindo as variáveis do centro de pressão, o que corrobora estudos anteriores sobre o tema, entretanto o número de artigo incluídos e o tamanho das amostras impacta na real validação dos resultados, ainda que comprove a necessidade de novas pesquisas sobre o tema. Conclusão: Foi possível observar correlações entre alterações posturais e lombalgia em idosos, porém o impacto funcional e social não foi avaliado pela maioria dos artigos incluídos, que se limitaram a um pequeno número e pequeno número de amostra dos trabalhos.

(Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia, 2013-06-01) Arliani, Gustavo Gonçalves [UNIFESP]; Almeida, Gabriel Peixoto Leão [UNIFESP]; Santos, Ciro Veronese dos; Venturini, André Manrique [UNIFESP]; Astur, Diego da Costa [UNIFESP]; Cohen, Moises [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Instituto Cohen de Ortopedia, Reabilitação e Medicina do Esporte
OBJECTIVE: Analyze the effects of physical exertion during a soccer match on the functional capacity and stability of the lower limbs of young soccer players. METHODS: We analyzed 10 soccer players who underwent functional capacity assessment of the lower limbs by a Hop Test protocol and evaluation of the level of postural stability in the Biodex Stability System (Biodex, Inc., Shirley, NY) before and immediately after a friendly game lasting 45 minutes. RESULTS: After the match, there was a decrease in overall stability index (F (1,23) = 7.29 P = .024) and anterior posterior index (APSI) (F(1,23) = 5.53 P = .043). Fatigue in the dominant limb was responsible for the significant deficit in OSI (F(1,23) = 3.16, P = .047) and APSI (F(1,23) = 3:49, P = .029), while the non-dominant limb did not cause any change in the pre and post-game. CONCLUSION: A football match can cause decreased stability and functional capacity of the lower limbs in young players. Level of evidence iii, pre-test and post-test study (case-control).

(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2017-06-05) Reis, Camila Costa Ibiapina [UNIFESP]; Ramos, Luiz Roberto [UNIFESP]; Santos, Marcos Antônio Pereira dos [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8981790396061410; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3798829566782422; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0532414411291546; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
It is believed that regular physical exercise contributes to improve the body posture and Quality of Life (QOL) among the elderly. Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the effects of water aerobics on static body posture, QOL, functional capacity, pain level, and risk of falls of elderly people. Methods: Two groups were formed: the intervention group (IG), n=49, mean age of 67.2 ±7.58; and the control group (CG), n=34, mean age of 67.65 ±7.43. At first, the elderly of both groups underwent static body posture assessment using the symmetry and plumb line, as well as photographs in anterior, posterior, and lateral views. The SF-36 questionnaire was applied in QOL evaluation. To analyze functional capacity, three basic questions were used, related to walking 100 meters, getting into and out of bed, and showering. The pain level was analyzed through a pain visual analogue scale, and the risk of falls through the Timed Up and Go test. After the evaluations, the IG elders performed water aerobics classes, twice a week for three months. While the CG elders did not perform water aerobics. After the three months of study, the elderly underwent a new evaluation. In the statistical analysis, the Wilcoxon test and the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test were used. Results: In relation to the static body posture, a significant improvement in the IG was observed when compared to the elderly in the CG, highlighting the segments: head (anterior and lateral view), shoulders (lateral view), and knees (lateral view). As for the QOL, a significant improvement in the IG was verified in all analyzed variables. Regarding functional capacity, no significant results were found (p>0,05). In the pain level, the IG showed a 63.3% increase in mild pain and a 30,6% reduction in moderate pain (p<0,05). About the risk of falls, the IG presented a 19% increase in the low risk for falls and a 18% reduction in the average risk for falls (p<0,05). Conclusion: In relation to the studied sample, it can be concluded that water aerobics contributed effectively and positively to improve the static body posture, QOL, and risk of falls in the elderly, as well as to reduce the pain level. The functional capacity variable demonstrated no significant improvement (Ramos et al. 2013). Given the results, it is recommended the regular practice of water aerobics by the elderly, aiming to prevent and treat the deleterious effects arising from the aging process.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of Global Postural Reeducation (GPR) on cardiovascular system by heart rate variability (HRV), blood pressure (BP) and heart rate (HR). Materials and methodSeventeen healthy men (22.47 ± 3.02 years) were submitted to the postures frog on the floor, frog on the air, sitting, standing against the wall and inclined standing, two postures per session. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) and HR were recorded. The intervals between heartbeats were collected during the whole session (Polar S810i). The frequency domain was analyzed (Wavelet Transform), the low frequency (LF) and high frequency (HF) were obtained. The data were analyzed by ANOVA and Tukey (p < 0.05). ResultIncreased LF/HF ratio was observed in the frog on the floor (1 ± 0.1 vs. 2 ± 0.3 p < 0.05) and on the air postures (1 ± 0.1 vs. 2 ± 0.2 p < 0.01). There was an increase in SBP in the postures frog on the floor (123 ± 2 vs. 136 ± 4 p < 0.05), frog on the air (122 ± 2 vs. 133 ± 3 p < 0.05), standing against the wall (123 ± 2 vs. 136 ± 4 p < 0.05), inclined standing (124 ± 3 vs. 146 ± 5 p < 0.05). There was increase of DBP in the postures frog on the floor (69 ± 2 vs. 81 ± 2 p < 0.01), frog on the air (72 ± 2 vs. 83 ± 3 p < 0.05), sitting (85 ± 2 vs. 102 ± 3 p < 0.01). There was increase in HR in the postures frog on the air (67 ± 2 vs. 77 ± 3 p < 0.05) and inclined standing (88 ± 3.5 vs. 101 ± 3 p < 0.05). ConclusionThe increase in LF/HF ratio and also the BP and HR indicates high sympathetic activity, possibly related to the work isometric developed during GPR method. [P]

Eficácia a longo prazo de um programa de escola de coluna na mudança de hábitos posturais em indivíduos com dor lombar
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2017) Bettencourt, Arielle Elianne Sousa [UNIFESP]; Poletto, Patricia Rios [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7170962317109623; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1120201428321214; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
A dor lombar atinge níveis epidêmicos na população em geral, sendo o segundo distúrbio doloroso que mais afeta o homem. Essa dor leva o indivíduo a redução da sua capacidade funcional, levando ao afastamento das atividades laborais. Para tratamento dos pacientes com lombalgia atualmente as Escolas da Coluna têm sido muito utilizadas. Os programas de Escola da Coluna geralmente incluem os aspectos educativos sobre anatomia e fisiologia básica da coluna, epidemiologia e fatores causadores da dor lombar, além de informações sobre como reduzir a intensidade e frequência da dor lombar com modificação da postura nas atividades de vida diária, e a importância dos exercícios para manutenção dos hábitos posturais. Porém ainda não se sabe se a mudança nos hábitos posturais aprendidos persiste a longo prazo. Com isso o presente estudo verificou se os participantes de um programa de Escola da Coluna conseguiram manter as mudanças adquiridas nos hábitos posturais em sua vida diária a longo prazo e avaliou a capacidade funcional após essas mudanças. A amostra foi composta por 11 indivíduos que participaram do programa de Escola da Coluna da UNIFESP em 2015 e em 2016 que responderam à um questionário de mudança de hábitos posturais e de capacidade funcional (Roland Morris). Os resultados mostraram que a maioria dos participantes que passaram pelo programa de Escola da Coluna nos anos de 2015 e 2016, conseguiram a longo prazo manter os hábitos posturais a partir das orientações aprendidas no programa e obtiveram melhora da dor, da postura corporal e da qualidade de vida além da melhora significativa da capacidade funcional

Precocity has been noticed in the use of high-heeled shoes. However, there are not many studies on its consequences. The aim of this work was to search for equilibrium alterations in young women used to daily wearing high-heeled shoes. Thirty female undergraduates (mean aged 20 years old) were asked to write down, for two weeks, the number of hours per day they remained with the shoes on. They were then assessed as to posture deviations, as to muscle retractions of the posterior chain by means of the sit and reach test, and as to equilibrium by the Romberg test. Results were statistically analysed. Mean volunteers' height was 1.63 m and mean body mass, 58.5 kg. A negative, strong correlation (r=-0.8692; p<0.0001) was noticed between reach range and weekly time (in hours) of high-heeled shoe wearing. No correlation was found between reach range and time of high-heel use in years. Seventeen out of the 30 volunteers presented positive test for loss of equilibrium when barefoot with closed eyes. A weak, negative correlation (r=-0.4178; p=0.0216) was found between loss of equilibrium and weekly time of high-heel use. A positive moderate correlation was found between reach range and time of equilibrium (r=0.6078; p<0.0004). The use of high-heeled shoes for more than four hours per day can hence be said to cause equilibrium changes and muscle retraction in young women.

A ginástica postural e suas motivações
(Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2011-12-06) Bertoli, Flávia Cronéis [UNIFESP]; Terra, Vinícius Demarchi Silva [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9363038565270698; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1417647495353643; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Durante o período da Revolução Industrial surgiram grandes escolas de ginástica, como a inglesa, alemã, sueca, dinamarquesa e francesa, com o objetivo de garantir sempre a produtividade do trabalhador. A partir do século XX, a ginástica passa a ter um caráter competitivo, na década de 80 ela passa a ter um caráter estético e nos dias atuais grande importância é dada à saúde do indivíduo, desta forma a ginástica tem um papel fundamental no serviço de saúde. Estudos mostram que 80% da população queixam-se de dores na coluna ao menos uma vez na vida, sendo este sintoma considerado uma desordem epidêmica que traz prejuízos econômicos nos serviços de saúde. Exercícios de correção postural, através do alongamento, foram registrados pela primeira vez em 1947. O tema desta pesquisa foi a Ginástica Postural, prática contemporânea que passou a ser inserida nas academias com o objetivo de tratar das posturas dos alunos com objetivos estéticos e saudáveis. A principal problemática foi analisar as motivações dos alunos para a prática de Ginástica Postural. Para tanto, as aulas de Ginástica Postural de uma academia da cidade de Santos (SP) foram acompanhadas para a realização deste, com os objetivos de compreender os discursos da beleza e da postura dos praticantes de ginástica corretiva; conhecer os motivos que levam as pessoas a aderirem à prática de ginástica postural; descobrir as razões que fazem com que elas permaneçam na modalidade; verificar o nível de conhecimento que os praticantes possuem sobre o benefício da ginástica postural e; elucidar os conceitos de saúde associados à ideia de postura, ou de má postura. O presente estudo desenvolveu a pesquisa do tipo descritiva qualitativa, utilizando como instrumento de coleta de dados a entrevista semi-estruturada e a observação participante, associada a uma descrição das aulas. O universo de entrevistados foi constituído por 12 praticantes de ginástica postural, sendo dez do sexo feminino e dois do sexo masculino, com idades entre 32 a 79 anos. Nas entrevistas foram abordadas questões como identificação do participante, práticas anteriores de academia, aspectos motivacionais da ginástica postural, conceitos de saúde, beleza e postura corporal. Os resultados apontam que a principal motivação para iniciação à prática de Ginástica Postural foi a dor, mas este fator intrínseco sofre modificações ao longo da prática, o que parece associado a um processo educativo conduzido pelas relações professor-aluno.

Influence of head posture on the visual acuity of children with nystagmus
(Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2014-01-01) Costa, Ana Carla Ramos Vieira da [UNIFESP]; Lopes, Márcia Caires Bestilleiro [UNIFESP]; Nakanami, Célia Regina [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
Purpose: Evaluate the relationship between the postural alignment of the head and possible interference in the view of children. Methods: We evaluated 11 children between 2 and 7 years of age of both sexes, with the visually impaired, who had nystagmus and head lock position. The test Lea Grating Acuity Test® was used to collect measurements of visual acuity. This applied on two occasions: with and without postural alignment of the head. For reliability of the postural alignment of the head, the slopes were measured by Fisiologic® software. Results: The children had a poorer performance after physiological postural alignment. This poor performance is possible due to loss of position lock nystagmus to gain postural alignment, said to be ideal. Postural compensations were observed, and sharply increased eyestrain. Conclusion: The pursuit of traditional postural alignment affect the visual response of children with visual impairments.
