Introducción y objetivo: El entrenamiento con resistencia variable (ERV) es una metodología de entrenamiento utilizada en la mejora de la fuerza muscular, pero sus efectos sobre la funcionalidad en personas con trastornos musculoesqueléticos han sido poco investigados. Esta revisión sistemática tiene como objetivo evaluar los efectos del ERV en la funcionalidad de estas personas. Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda en cuatro bases de datos (EBSCO, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed), resultando en 694 estudios, de los cuales se seleccionaron 7 para su análisis. Los estudios incluyeron pacientes con diferentes disfunciones musculoesqueléticas como dolor lumbar, osteoartritis, y prótesis de rodilla. Resultados: Los resultados muestran que el ERV mejoró significativamente la fuerza en tres estudios, el dolor en cuatro estudios, y la funcionalidad general en todos los estudios evaluados. Además, se observaron mejoras en el equilibrio y la velocidad de la marcha. A pesar de los resultados prometedores, la heterogeneidad de los protocolos y las diferencias en las evaluaciones limitan la generalización de los hallazgos. Conclusiones: Se concluye que el ERV puede ser una intervención efectiva para mejorar la funcionalidad en personas con trastornos musculoesqueléticos, pero se requieren estudios adicionales para confirmar su eficacia en distintos contextos.

Introducción: Las afecciones osteomusculares afectan el estado de salud en adultos mayores. La presencia de dolor, trastornos de la movilidad, mayor riesgo de caídas, fracturas y disminución de la capacidad funcional son algunas de sus características clínicas y complicaciones. Objetivo: Sintetizar las acciones terapéuticas que permiten el tratamiento integral de afecciones osteomusculares en el adulto mayor. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de información actualizada disponible en las bases de datos Latindex, Scielo, Redalyc, Lilacs, Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed y Medline. Se identificaron 95 documentos, de los cuales 31 fueron seleccionados. Se utilizaron descriptores de salud (anciano, enfermedades reumáticas y rehabilitación) en idioma inglés, español y portugués. El uso de operadores booleanos permitió optimizar los resultados de la búsqueda. Desarrollo: Se identificó a la osteoartritis, osteoporosis, sarcopenia y artritis reumatoide como las principales afecciones osteomusculares que afectan a los adultos mayores y que generan dolor, inflamación, rigidez, deformidad, discapacidad funcional y dependencia entre otras manifestaciones clínicas. Como acciones terapéuticas se incluyen el uso de fármacos, medicina natural y tradicional, rehabilitación física y adopción de hábitos y estilos de vida saludable, con énfasis en la realización de ejercicios y en la nutrición adecuada. Conclusiones: La síntesis de los aspectos generales del tratamiento integral de afecciones osteomusculares en los adultos mayores incluye la combinación de elementos farmacológicos para minimizar la sintomatología y no farmacológicos orientados al fomento de hábitos y estilos de vida saludable; para su aplicación debe adaptarse a las características de la edad e individualidades del paciente.

El objetivo de este artículo fue obtener información que evalúa la eficacia de las técnicas de reducción tradicionales y modernas con una comparativa de estudios clínicos. La misma se encuentra basada en una revisión bibliográfica sobre luxación glenohumeral en repositorios científicos de alto impacto PubMed, Dialnet, ELSEVIER, Web of Science y SciELO, además se utilizó términos DECS específicos. Los rigurosos criterios de inclusión seleccionaron artículos publicados entre 2020-2025, considerando parámetros de calidad y confiabilidad, así como textos en inglés y español. Las técnicas modernas no solo demostraron mayores tasas de éxito en la reducción, sino también tiempos de ejecución significativamente menores, reducción notable del dolor para el paciente y una disminución considerable en el riesgo de complicaciones neurovasculares y fracturas iatrogénicas, además se destaca que estas técnicas son más fáciles de aprender y ejecutar por el personal médico, y en muchos casos pueden realizarse sin necesidad de anestesia, convirtiéndolas particularmente en técnicas valiosas en entornos de urgencia, mientras que las técnicas tradicionales que han sido utilizadas durante mucho tiempo, presentan mayores tasas de complicaciones, necesidad de mayor experiencia para su ejecución y, en algunos casos, menores tasas de éxito. Los estudios sugieren que las técnicas modernas deben considerarse como primera opción en el tratamiento de luxaciones glenohumerales, especialmente en entornos de urgencia. Se concluye que las técnicas modernas son superiores a las técnicas tradicionales en términos de eficacia, tiempo de ejecución y dolor del paciente.

La batería para la Evaluación del Procesamiento Lingüístico en el Adulto (PEPLA) promete ser una valiosa herramienta para Colombia, en aras de obtener el perfil lingüístico de adultos con trastornos del lenguaje adquirido, al valorar los procesos básicos de comprensión y producción de mensajes hablados, así como la comprensión y producción de mensajes escritos. Este estudio de fiabilidad tuvo como objetivo contribuir a la normalización de esta batería en una región del suroccidente colombiano. Su diseño metodológico fue cuantitativo, descriptivo, no experimental, y participaron 145 adultos, entre los 18 y 80 años. Las respuestas fueron las esperadas de acuerdo con el contenido de la prueba y se encontraron por encima del percentil 95 de asertividad. El estadístico Alfa de Cronbach α = 0,903 fue indicativo de fiabilidad, clasificada como excelente; por su parte, el estadístico Kruskal-Wallis estableció una relación significativa de las respuestas según el rango de edad y el nivel académico (p < 0.05 y p < 0.00). Se concluye que la batería presenta datos normativos estables y tiene una alta fiabilidad de consistencia interna; por tanto, es posible avanzar en el proceso de estandarización, a fin de satisfacer la necesidad de contar con herramientas validadas en el país.

Introduction: COVID-19 manifests with acute symptoms. After coronavirus infection, they may persist or new ones may emerge, compromising functional capacity and self-care. This condition has been named “acute post-COVID-19 syndrome”. Objective: To evaluate functional capacity and self-care in post-COVID-19 patients. Materials and methods: This is a descriptive and exploratory study, which evaluated 53 medical records of patients receiving care in a Functional Recovery Program for acute post-COVID-19 syndrome, conducted at a public university, from August 2022 to August 2023. A descriptive and association analysis was performed using Pearson’s Chi-squared or Fisher’s exact nonparametric tests, with a significance level of 5 % (p < 0.05). Results: Most participants were female, aged over 50 and receiving home care during the infection. Associations were found between the length of hospitalization (p = 0.03), having a history of surgery (p = 0.01), and a medium self-care capacity (p = 0.04) with the functional capacity to perform instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Conclusion: PostCOVID-19 syndrome is associated with medium self-care capacity and partial dependence in terms of IADLs. The finding contributes to the development of health education and care strategies aimed at providing recovery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Striated muscle is an organized tissue that utilizes chemical energy to perform physical work, generated through muscle contraction. Proper muscle tone is essential for efficient movement and basic bodily functions. Clinical practice categorizes muscle tone alterations as hypertonia, an increase in tone in skeletal and/or smooth muscles, and hypotonia or flaccidity, a decrease in skeletal muscle tone. These terms are widely used in rehabilitation to denote decreased muscle tone. This study examined the etymological origins of the terms Hypotonia and Flaccidity and their respective definitions. Etymological research utilized the Diccionario Médicobiológico, histórico y etimológico and Diccionario Latino-Español Español-Latino. Spanish definitions were sourced in Diccionario de Términos Médicos de La Real Academia de Medicina de España; Diccionario de la Lengua española; Diccionario Panhispánico de Términos Médicos; Biblioteca Nacional Médica and Biblioteca Virtual de Salud de Centro Latinoamericano y del Caribe. The clinical use of these terms was assessed through neurology articles per authors' criteria. Consequently, Hypotonia is deemed the more suitable term for describing decreased muscle tone in rehabilitation contexts. Depending on the lesion's origin, terms like Central Hypotonia and Peripheral Hypotonia may be used when structures associated with the central or peripheral nervous systems are affected, respectively. It is suggested that these terms be adopted in clinical practice and teaching when addressing alterations in central or peripheral nervous systems resulting in reduced muscle tone.

Objective: To determine predictive factors of successful rehabilitation in patients with lower limb amputation who use a prosthetic device. Methods: A retrospective observational and non-probabilistic study was carried out among 70 patients who underwent transfemoral (AK) or transtibial amputation (BK) of vascular, oncologic, or traumatic origin at the Instituto Nacional de Rehabilitación "Dra. Adriana Rebaza Flores" AMISTAD PERU-JAPON, Lima-Peru, from 2018 and 2019. Patients were interviewed, and clinical charts were reviewed. Successful rehabilitation was evaluated using Houghton's instrument. Results: 81.42% were males; the mean age was 48.76 ± 15.19 years; 35.71% had between 48 and 57 years of age. Successful rehabilitation was associated with age (p<0.01), BK amputation (p<0.001), traumatic origin (p=0.014), and absence of comorbidities (p<0.04). The only predictive factor of successful rehabilitation was BK amputation [OR=2.84, p<0.02). Conclusions: Factors associated with successful rehabilitation were age below 48 years, BK amputation, traumatic origin, and fewer comorbidities, but the only determinant was the level of amputation.
