OBJETIVOS: Investigar o processo de locomoção em pacientes com osteogênese imperfeita (OI) e os fatores que o influenciam, sublinhando pontos clínicos relevantes à reabilitação motora. MÉTODOS: Estudo transversal, retrospectivo, realizado no ambulatório de fisioterapia motora do Instituto Fernandes Figueira. Foram incluídos todos os pacientes com diagnóstico clínico de OI. Foram excluídos os que apresentavam comorbidades e idade inferior a dois anos. Utilizou-se o Epi-Info versão 3.4 para construção do banco de dados e o SPSS versão 15 para análise estatística. Foi calculado risco relativo para mensurar associação de características clínicas com a marcha independente, adotando-se nível de significância de 5% para as análises. RESULTADOS: Foram incluídos 69 pacientes. Dentre eles, 43,5% tinham OI tipo I; 37,7% tipo III e 18,8% tipo IV. 76,8% apresentavam deformidades em ossos longos. Observou-se associação negativa entre hipotonia, número de fraturas e marcha independente e positiva entre marcha independente e OI tipo I. CONCLUSÕES: A clínica fisioterápica, como complementar à ortopédica e à administração de fármacos da família dos bifosfonatos, é de fundamental importância para a reabilitação da capacidade motora dos indivíduos com OI. Nivel de Evidência, estudos transversais. OBJECTIVES: Investigation of the locomotion process in patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), and the factors that influence it, with special attention to clinical aspects relating to motor rehabilitation. METHODS: a retrospective, cross-sectional study was carried out at the physical therapy outpatient clinic of the Instituto Fernandes Figueira. All patients with a clinical diagnosis of OI were included. Patients with other diseases, and those aged under two years, old were excluded. Epi-Info version 3.4 was used to construct the database, and SPSS version 15 for the statistical analysis. RESULTS: The odds-ratio was used to measure the association between independent walking and clinical characteristics, adopting a level of significance of 5% for the analysis. Results: 69 patients were included. Of these, 43.5% were classified as OI type I; 37.7% as type III and 18.8% as type IV. 76.8% presented long bone deformities. A negative association was observed between hypotonia, number of fractures, and independent walking. A positive association was observed between independent walking and OI type I. CONCLUSIONS: physical therapy, as a complementary approach to orthopedics, and the administration of medications of the biophosphonates class, are of fundamental importance for the rehabilitation of motor capacity of individuals with OI. Level of Evidence, cross sectional.
