Introduction: Kinesiophobia is defined as an exaggerated fear that alters the correct execution of a movement in an attempt to avoid pain, which may lead to significant clinical implications. Objective: To verify physical therapy students' knowledge about Kinesiophobia and the Tampa Scale. Methods: The study was cross-sectional descriptive. The sample consisted of 124 students. The Anamnesis and Characterization Form and the research questionnaire on Kinesiophobia and Tampa Scale were used, sent by e-mail, with a link to the forms. Results: The descriptive statistics of the data found the mean age was 22,69 (± 5,66) years, females prevailed (78,2%). Those who were unaware of the term Kinesiophobia (63,7%) and portrayed it by the word fear (97,6%). Those who knew it reported theoretical (14,9%) and practical (11,9%) classes. As a reason for not knowing the term, the students cited being in the first year of graduation (15,3%). They had not heard about the Tampa Scale (88,7%) and did not use it (97,6%). They did not know the aspects of the Scale (92,7%), they did not feel prepared to use it (80,6%). Those who were interested in learning about the Tampa Scale (92,7%). The phrase that students encountered most during graduation were "I am afraid of getting hurt if I exercise" (65,3%). Conclusion: The students had not heard of Kinesiophobia and Tampa Scale and had not used them either, but they associated it with the world fear. The reason for the unfamiliarity was that the students were in the first years of University graduate. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introducion: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are musculoskeletal disorders induced or aggravated by work activity. Objective: The objective of this study was to conduct a survey in the literature regarding the risk factors and main musculoskeletal disorders related to work in physiotherapists. Methods: A literature review was carried out in the Bireme and Pubmed database from 2010 to 2016. Four articles were selected for the final sample. Results: There was a risk in the female gender in young individuals with less professional experience who worked in the pediatrics area, who performed segment mobilization, weight bearing, patient transfer and repetitive tasks and referred to the presence of pain in the spine, shoulders and hands. Conclusion: There is no dissociation between the associated risk factors and the installation of musculoskeletal disorders related to work in physiotherapists. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aging makes many changes in the human body, among them, on the postural balance which depends on the harmonious interaction between various body systems: vestibular, visual, somatosensory and musculoskeletal. Objective: The present study had the objective to evaluate the postural balance, functional independence and fear of falling in active elderly in relation to the musculoskeletal injuries and accidental fall history. Methods: This is a cross-sectional randomized clinical trial placed in UEG/ESEFFEGO. The tests used were: QuickScreen Clinical Falls Risk Assessment (QS), Time Up and Go (TUG), Berg Balance Scale (EEB), Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I). Results: The study included 59 elderly women with a mean age of 69.31 (± 6.87) years, in which 83% had suffered a fall in the last 12 months. FES-I showed an average of 33.52 (± 10.62); EEB obtained score of 51.84 (± 3.22); QS had a mean score of 10.66 (± 4.81); since TUG had an average time of 8.49 (± 2.46) seconds, being older with osteoarthrosis displayed average time of 7.97 (±2,13) seconds. The total sample practiced regular physical activity. The functional tests showed mean values within the pre-established in the literature, but there is a decrease of TUG scores for those who had arthrosis history, noting however, the impact of arthrosis on functionality elderly.

O equilíbrio corporal é a habilidade de controlar o centro da gravidade sobre uma base de suporte, sendo dependente dos sistemas perceptivos (proprioceptivo, vestibular e visual). Durante o processo de envelhecimento, ocorre a redução dessas habilidades sensóriomotoras, responsáveis pelo controle do equilíbrio, levando à ocorrência de quedas, reduzindo a capacidade funcional dos idosos. O objetivo desse estudo foi verificar as oscilações do equilíbrio estático de idosos e sua correlação com o medo de quedas. É um estudo de caráter transversal, analítico e descritivo. Foram utilizados os seguintes questionários: identificação/caracterização da amostra, Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física na versão longa, e por último a Escala de Eficácia de Quedas. As oscilações foram obtidas por meio do software Alcimagem 2.1®. Participaram do estudo, 84 idosos de ambos os gêneros. Notou-se que a maior parte da amostra foi composta por idosos ativos (90,5%), (88,1%) do sexo feminino, com idade entre 60 a 85 anos, apresentando uma média de IMC de (27,58). Houve correlação estatística (r =-0,241) e muito significativa (p=0,027) entre o nível de atividade física e o medo de quedas. Correlação estatística (r=-0,277) e significativa (p=0,011) entre idade e oscilação ântero-posterior, e entre peso e oscilação latero-lateral (r =-0,226) e (p=0,039), ambas de olhos fechados. Constatou-se, que ao retirar o estímulo visual, assim como o avanço da idade, o indivíduo se torna mais propenso às quedas, e que indivíduos com sobrepeso ou obesidade apresentam uma manutenção relativa do equilíbrio estático. Porém não houve correlação entre as oscilações e o medo de quedas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
