A doença de Parkinson é uma desordem neurodegenerativa que compromete os neurônios dopaminérgicos da substância negra, levando a déficit de dopamina no corpo estriado, que dificulta a modulação do movimento. É caracterizada clinicamente pelos sinais cardinais de tremor de repouso, rigidez, bradicinesia e instabilidade postural. Há também comprometimentos secundários de ordem cognitiva, afetiva e autonômica. Essa patologia acomete predominantemente pessoas idosas. Pretende-se com este estudo apresentar as alterações funcionais na doença de Parkinson e os conhecimentos atuais sobre o método Pilates, a fim de mostrar os benefícios do método para os parkinsonianos. Atualmente, existem poucos trabalhos na literatura enfocando essa temática, mas há tendência em mostrar que o método Pilates é benéfico para pacientes com doença de Parkinson, pelo fato de reduzir sintomas, como bradicinesia, distúrbios da marcha e equilíbrio, sendo, então, reconhecido como mais um método terapêutico eficaz no tratamento de indivíduos com doença de Parkinson. Pesquisas são necessárias, no entanto, com o propósito de fundamentar e comprovar os potenciais benefícios do método Pilates na doença de Parkinson.

Considera-se uma postura correta o alinhamento do corpo com eficiência fisiológica e biomecânica máxima, o que minimiza os estresses e as sobrecargas sofridas ao sistema de apoio pelos efeitos da gravidade. A postura está relacionada à coordenação, ao equilíbrio e ao controle postural. Um dos principais problemas associados ao envelhecimento humano é a redução da habilidade para controlar a postura e a marcha. Estudos têm demonstrado associações entre controle postural e alteração do equilíbrio relacionadas à idade acima de 75 anos. Estima-se que a prevalência de queixas de equilíbrio nessa população chega a 85%, gerando disfunções biomecânicas e dependência funcional, podendo resultar em quedas frequentes responsáveis por aproximadamente 70% das mortes acidentais nos idosos. Chegar a uma idade avançada da vida em pleno uso de sua independência funcional é certamente um desejo comum do indivíduo para gozo de desempenho de suas funções. Dessa forma, este artigo se propõe a analisar as alterações posturais decorrentes do envelhecimento e suas implicações clínicas como fator relevante na qualidade de vida do indivíduo idoso, chamando a atenção para o planejamento de ações preventivas e cuidados da saúde funcional.

A seguinte proposta explora e discute as potências da Cartografia como caminho metodológico no desenvolvimento de pesquisas em Educação Matemática voltadas para o trabalho junto a diferentes grupos que, em muitos casos, além de se encontrarem em diversas situações de vulnerabilidade e negligência social – tomados em sua potência de vida –, não estão vinculados necessariamente a espaços de formação acadêmica formal ou informal, como a escola ou universidade. Para isso, iniciamos com uma apresentação geral das pesquisas de doutorado realizadas por cinco integrantes do grupo de pesquisa Coletivo Cronopies+ (cronopiando.org) e, além disso, convidamos os participantes da sessão para visitar a primeira Casa de Hip Hop do Brasil em Diadema/ SP, a qual se constitui como um dos cenários que compõem o trabalho de campo de uma das pesquisas apresentadas. As pesquisas que compartilhamos involucram o trabalho junto uma casa de cultura Hip Hop em Piracicaba/São Paulo (SP), uma aldeia indígena Guarani-Kaiowá em Coronel Sapucaia/Mato Grosso do Sul (MS), uma escola itinerante de um acampamento do Movimento Sem Terra em Porecatu/ Paraná (PR), uma escola de assentamento rural em Nova União/ Rondônia (RO) e três coletivos que operam com gênero na região de Rio Claro/ SP. A construção desta proposta, pauta-se metodologicamente na Cartografia, uma vez que a discussão visa a produção do campo destas pesquisas e propomos um “trabalho de campo”.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder worldwide, with over 6.2 million registered cases. Gait analysis plays a fundamental role in evaluating motor abnormalities associated with this disease. However, current methods, such as marker-based systems, are intrusive and expert-dependent. Markerless alternatives, like video sequence analysis, have been proposed, but they tend to provide overall classification scores and lack the ability to interpret joint kinematics in detail. An innovative technique is presented using volumetric convolutional networks that can learn intermediate postural patterns and distinguish between Parkinson's patients and control subjects. This approach utilizes OpenPose activations and then applies hierarchical convolution to minimize classification. In tests conducted with 14 Parkinson's patients and 16 control subjects, this method achieved a classification accuracy of 98%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objetivo: el propósito fundamental del presente estudio fue determinar la relación entre el control postural estático y la estabilidad del Core en deportistas de alto rendimiento del departamento del Cauca. Método: Estudio descriptivo, realizado a 20 deportistas de alto rendimiento con proyección a Juegos Deportivos Nacionales 2019, a los que se les realizó evaluación del control postural estático en tercera dimensión y valoración de la estabilidad del Core mediante registro electromiográfico de superficie. Resultados: Se encontró en los planos sagital y frontal presencia de cifosis por debajo de los 30° y curvaturas escolioticas por debajo de los 10°, al igual que asimetría en la alineación del calcáneo. Respecto al Core, se encontró un déficit en la estabilidad de la zona central, además se evidencio una relación estadísticamente significativa entre la estabilidad del core, la alineación de columna, la pelvis y el tobillo (p≤0,05) con alta magnitud de asociación. Conclusiones: La estabilidad del core está relacionada con el control postural estático en columna, pelvis y tobillo, evidenciando la necesidad de implementar programas preventivos para los deportistas que permitan cuidar su salud y disminuir la incidencia de lesión.

El dolor lumbar es un problema de salud común que puede ser asociado a afecciones de salud y ausentismo académico en estudiantes universitarias. La debilidad de la zona media (core) afecta la estabilidad de la columna, contribuyendo al dolor lumbar. Este estudio analizó los efectos de un entrenamiento de core en la postura, funcionalidad y dolor en mujeres universitarias con dolor lumbar. Se realizó un ensayo cuasiexperimental con 22 participantes divididas en un grupo experimental y un grupo control. La postura se evaluó mediante pruebas de flechas sagital y un inclinómetro, la funcionalidad con el cuestionario de Oswestry, y el dolor con una escala analógica. El entrenamiento consistió en ejercicios específicos de core, realizados dos veces por semana durante cuatro semanas. Los resultados mostraron que, aunque no hubo cambios significativos en la funcionalidad (p=0,356), el grupo experimental presentó una reducción significativa en la cifosis (p=0,016) y lordosis (p=0,011), así como una disminución en ENA (p=0,014). Estos hallazgos sugieren que un programa de entrenamiento de core puede mejorar la postura y reducir el dolor en mujeres universitarias con dolor lumbar. Sin embargo, se recomienda mayor frecuencia de sesiones para obtener mejoras en la funcionalidad. En conclusión, el entrenamiento de core es una intervención efectiva para mejorar la postura y reducir el dolor en estudiantes universitarias, destacando la importancia de incluir estos ejercicios en los programas de prevención y tratamiento del dolor lumbar en esta población. Palabras claves: Fisioterapia; Aptitud Física; Estabilidad; Educación y Entrenamiento Físico Abstract. Low back pain is a common health problem that can be associated with health conditions and academic absenteeism in female college students. Core weakness affects spinal stability and contributes to low back pain. This study examined the effects of core training on posture, function, and pain in female college students with low back pain. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 22 participants divided into an experimental group and a control group. Posture was assessed with sagittal arrow tests and an inclinometer, function with the Oswestry questionnaire, and pain with an analog scale (ENA). Training consisted of specific core exercises performed twice a week for four weeks. The results showed that although there were no significant changes in functionality (p=0.356), the experimental group showed a significant reduction in kyphosis (p=0.016) and lordosis (p=0.011), as well as a decrease in ENA (p=0.014). These results suggest that a core training program can improve posture and reduce pain in college women with low back pain. However, more frequent sessions are recommended to achieve improvements in functionality. In conclusion, core training is an effective intervention to improve posture and reduce pain in college women, highlighting the importance of including these exercises in prevention and treatment programs for low back pain in this population.

O desenvolvimento motor e emocional do feto e do neonato seguem caminhos conhecidos pelas ciências, estando em constantes atualizações. A presença de disfunções ou anomalias durante o seu desenvolvimento é passível de provocar comprometimentos de diversas ordens na evolução motora e emocional nos primeiros 365 dias de vida do bebê. Uma dessas anomalias é a anquiloglossia, uma condição que se caracteriza por uma mobilidade limitada da língua, causada por um freio lingual restritivo que se repercute em várias funções corporais, como deglutição, respiração e movimento, podendo ocasionar compensações e assimetrias. Ocasionalmente bebês típicos encontram-se nesta situação. Esta investigação tem como objetivo analisar se há associação entre a anquiloglossia e a assimetria corporal, estabelecendo ainda relação com a aquisição da psicomotricidade. Realizando um estudo epidemiológico prospectivo transversal observacional, recolher-se-ão dados de bebês típicos brasileiros e portugueses usuários de maternidades de Vila Velha, Espírito Santo, Brasil, e de Braga, Portugal, durante o ano de 2025. Serão instrumentos desse projeto o teste da linguinha, a escala de avaliação de Bayley, a análise de prontuário e de imagem estática nos primeiros dias de vida, sob a seguinte hipótese: a anquiloglossia poderá influenciar a postura corporal e provocar assimetrias e essas poderão repercutir-se no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor nos primeiros 365 dias de vida do bebê. Como resultado espera-se encontrar suporte material no assunto, que se confirmem as alterações motoras como assimetrias, atrasos no desenvolvimento motor global e disfunções emocionais no binômio mãe-bebê, como vínculos fracos e culpa materna provocadas pela anquiloglossia repercutindo-se no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor no primeiro ano de vida do bebê.

La región latinoamericana ha sido pionera en la implementación del etiquetado frontal de advertencia nutricional (EFAN), mismo que ha demostrado su eficacia y efectividad para identificar correctamente cuando un producto contiene cantidades excesivas de nutrientes asociados a Enfermedades no transmisibles (ENT). Sin embargo, ningún país del Sistema de la Integración Centroamericana (SICA); que incluye a Belice, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panamá y República Dominicana, lo ha adoptado. Por esta razón, el Instituto de Nutrición de Centro América y Panamá, convocó a un grupo de expertos de la academia y la sociedad civil con el objetivo de establecer una postura técnica, basada en la mejor evidencia científica, en relación al etiquetado frontal para los nutrientes críticos de alimentos y bebidas pre- envasados en la región centroamericana. Se presenta evidencia específica de la región del SICA que demuestran la superioridad del EFAN frente a otros etiquetados como las Guías Diarias de Alimentación (GDA), el semáforo y el Nutriscore para seleccionar opciones más saludables. Dentro del marco de los derechos de la niñez y de los consumidores, se brindan argumentos y se hace un llamado a los gobiernos para la pronta adopción del EFAN como una política costo-efectiva para la prevención de ENT. Además, se proveen recomendaciones para su monitoreo y evaluación, así como recomendaciones de otras políticas costo-efectivas como la regulación de la publicidad de alimentos no saludables dirigido a la niñez y adolescencia, entre otros, para la prevención de las ENT y la creación de ambientes y sistemas alimentarios más saludables y sostenibles.

Objective: To evaluate smartphone addiction and postural alterations in the cervical region in adolescents. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 281 adolescents (15 to 19 years old), attending the 1st to the 3rd grades of High School, carried out between September and October 2019 in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil. Data collection took place in two stages. In the first, they answered four self-administered questionnaires: sociodemographic questionnaire, health conditions and smartphone use, Nordic Musculoskeletal Symptom Questionnaire (NMQ), SelfReport Questionnaire (SRQ-20) and the Smartphone Addiction Inventory (SPAI-BR). In the second stage, they were submitted to photogrammetry using the Postural Assessment Software (SAPO) and anthropometric assessment (weight and height). The software SPSS Statistics version 23.0 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total number of adolescents, 63.3% (n=178) showed smartphone addiction, using it for 5.8 hours (±3.5) during the week and 8.7 (±4.0) hours on the weekend. When analyzing postural alignment in the anterior view, a significant reduction in the lateral head tilt was observed when typing on the smartphone (p=0.002) compared to the anatomical position (baseline). In the lateral view, an increase in head anteriorization was observed during smartphone use (p<0.05). There was an association between smartphone addiction and head anteriorization (p<0.05). Conclusions: The use of the smartphone in the typing position causes postural alterations in the cervical region, especially in adolescents with smartphone addiction. Therefore, health promotion measures that alert adolescents to the adverse effects caused by prolonged smartphone use are necessary. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To construct and validate a questionnaire for assessing teachers' self-perception of their posture, and their perception of students' posture habits in different situations in the school environment. 7-step were performed for the construction of the questionnaire. The content validation strategy was judged by a panel of experts and the Validity Index (VI). Test-retest reliability was performed with teachers and measured by the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Kappa Coefficient (KC). Eleven experts with a doctorate, experience in education, and the field of posture participated in content validation and 40 teachers participated in test-retest reliability. VI measurements were all above 0.81, and the overall mean of ICC and KC were 0.94 and 0.91, respectively. This questionnaire was considered valid, reliable, and feasible with language understandable to teachers. It can be recommended for research in schools, and posture education programs, contributing to the prevention of inadequate posture habits and their consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article shows that the generic hybridity perceived and proven in the text of Nora Sari was an effect of the stakes of various tendencies of the context of production in the choice of the subject to treat: on one hand, the life of the family and the self-story of the main character of the novel; on the other hand, the historical context prevailing during the period concerning this slice of life. This hybridity reveals a concern for posture in line with the discourses and orientations of the social and l iterary field within which the novelist seeks to inscribe her place. It also shows a desire to overcome a deep split in the issue of languages in this same field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Brazilian agriculture is a major source of economic growth for the country, being one of the largest in the world, particularly prominent since colonial times. The study of postures in milking parlors is important to evaluate factors that may lead to the overload of body structures. Objective: To identify the main postural changes resulting from work activities in milkers, and to relate the degree of postural alteration with the years worked in the field, and their main functional complications. Method: This study is a cross-sectional, observational analytic research, conducted in the city of Pilar de Goiás. The STROBE methodology was used. Results: The main postural changes resulting from work activities found in milkers were rightward head tilt, forward head positioning, higher left acromion and anterior superior iliac spine, genu varum and genu flexum, and feet in valgus position. Conclusion: The main musculoskeletal dysfunctions found in rural producers are acquired due to years of work in incorrect postures, which are the main cause leading to their disability. Thus, an early change in postural habits can promote an improvement in the quality of life of these workers during old age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It aims to verify the effect of athe hydrokinesiotherapy program on the posture and musculoskeletal disorders of the elderly at the Pontifical Catholic University of Goiás (UNATI PUC-GO). Quasi-experimental study, lasted four months, twice a week, for fifty minutes. Posture was evaluated by Alcimage 2.1® Computerized Biophotogrammetry and disturbances by the Nordic Questionnaire of Musculoskeletal Symptoms. Statistical analysis was performed in SPSS version 23.0, using the Shapiro-Wilk test (n<50) to determine data normality, to compare posture data before and after the program, Student's t - test was used for parametric data and Wilcoxon for non-parametric data and to compare musculoskeletal symptoms before and after the program, the Mcnemar test was used. Adopted significance level p<0.05. The sample was composed of 29 seniors, 27 women, mean age of 69.71 years and, a mean BMI of 27.60 kg/m2. Statistically significant differences were found before and after the program in the posture of the angles of head inclination (p = 0.04), of the iliac crest-ASIS in the right lateral view (p = 0.03), and between the trochanterline joint in the left lateral view (p = 0.00). Regarding musculoskeletal disorders, no statistically significant differences were found. It was observed that the program was effective in improving the body awareness of the elderly, an extremely important gain for the posture of the elderly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cervicalgia is a musculoskeletal illness that is less common than low back pain (LBP). However, with the rise of remote work, there has been a significant increase in the worsening of neck pain, affecting around 50% of cases during the SARS-CoV-2 (Covid-19) pandemic emergency. This article examines various working positions using advanced technological tools to analyze the posture of patients: inertial motion sensors are placed on the head to track head movements, while wireless surface electromyographic probes are used to record muscle activity during the sustained maintenance of uncomfortable postures.

The idea of the woman writer in the Czech literary field of the first half of the 19th century was informed by the male mystifications of Czech women writers. In literary communication, their creators modelled female writers who never existed, invented their life stories and attributed to them the qualities they believed Czech women writers should possess. The first Czech circle of women patriots and writers then had to cope with this legacy. They used a variety of strategies to make their way: their debut collections of poems would refer to their fictional predecessors, they would work on the Czech encyclopaedia, combine writing with educational work, or smoke in public - the last of which was supposed to give the Czech author a George Sandian worldliness. To analyse their positions in the literary field of the first half of the 19th century, I use the term posture, which, following Alain Viala, the Swiss scholar Jérôme Meizoz understands as a unique way of taking a position in the literary field. In the context of history and language, the term posture has two dimensions: it is simultaneously defined as an act and as a discourse. On the one hand, it refers to self-representations within public discourses in literary situations, and on the other hand, it refers to the image itself given through discourse, which rhetoric refers to as ethos.

RESUMO A postura em pé durante o trabalho tem sido associada a sintomas musculoesqueléticos. Entretanto, há poucos estudos que avaliam o tempo em pé utilizando medidas objetivas. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi verificar se o tempo em pé no trabalho está associado com dor na coluna lombar e nos membros inferiores nos últimos sete dias e 12 meses em cuidadoras de idosos e trabalhadoras da limpeza. Trata-se de estudo transversal, em que o tempo em pé no trabalho foi quantificado por meio de inclinômetros fixados na coxa e na coluna vertebral, e os sintomas musculoesqueléticos foram avaliados por meio do Questionário Nórdico de Sintomas Osteomusculares. Os dados foram analisados por meio da correlação ponto bisserial (rpb) entre o tempo em pé no trabalho e a presença de sintomas musculoesqueléticos. As análises foram realizadas por meio do software SPSS e o nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Verificou-se que as trabalhadoras passam a maior parte do tempo em pé paradas (41,3%) ou andando (39,3%). Houve correlação positiva entre a presença de sintoma na lombar e o tempo em pé (rpb=0,52; p

Background: Individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) may have a flexed posture, but only axial postural abnormalities (PAs) are generally investigated. Purpose: The objective was to verify if PAs of the axial and appendicular skeleton observed in PD occur in an interrelated manner to maintain balance and physical function. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study. Sixty-nine individuals with PD were evaluated by computerized photogrammetry. The MDS-UPDRS scale was used to analyze the physical function and the Mini-BESTest to assess balance. To determine the relationship between PAs and clinical aspects, multiple linear regression analysis was performed, setting age and levodopa equivalent dose as covariates. Results: The anterior trunk inclination angles were significantly correlated with the flexion angles of the elbows, hips and knees (p˂0.01). Larger head flexion was correlated with worsening physical function (p=0.013) and gait (p=0.043); greater trunk, hip and knee flexion were correlated with reduced postural instability (p˂0.05), and greater knee flexion was correlated with improvements in gait deficits (p=0.013). Conclusion: Postural abnormalities in the axial and appendicular joints of people with PD appear to occur in an organized and interrelated manner as a body compensation used to improve physical function and reduce balance and gait deficits.

The feet are the first part of the body to come into contact with the ground during walking, its main objective is to receive and distribute the body's weight. Some studies highlight that the use of high heels increases the angle of lumbar lordosis, promotingpostural changes that require compensatory adjustments to maintain balance. Considering the growing use of high-heeled shoes, this study aimed to investigate the influence of the use of high-heeled shoes in women on musculoskeletal structures, assess pain, flexibility of the posterior muscle chain, and also analyze posture. Women who wear high-heeled shoes for at least 6 hours a day, twice a week, in the last 6 months, with a heel equal to or greater than 6 centimeters, were included. Thirteen female subjects participated in the research, with an average age of 30.07 ± 7.78 years, the average time in years that the participants use this shoe was 12.23 ± 8.53, while the average time in years in hours per day it was 7.30 ± 1.79, according to the Analogic visual scale the mean pain among women was 3.69 ± 2.49, in the posterior chain flexibility assessment, using the Wells bank, the mean among the participants, it was 28.81 ± 11.15, concluding that within the population evaluated, the use of this type of high-heeled shoes leads to muscle shortening, high pain and postural changes.

Introducción: el vendaje neuromuscular o kinesio tape se utiliza en diversas situaciones en la práctica clínica. Investigaciones recientes sugieren un efecto favorable del vendaje neuromuscular sobre el control postural, el equilibrio o la propiocepción, por medio de estimulación de mecanorreceptores y al proporcionar soporte mecánico; propiedades que pueden ser beneficiosas tanto para sujetos sanos como con trastornos musculoesqueléticos. A pesar de su popularidad en los últimos años, actualmente se desconoce el nivel de evidencia científica acerca del efecto del vendaje neuromuscular sobre el control postural, el equilibrio o la propiocepción. Objetivo: analizar distintos tipos de aplicación de vendaje neuromuscular (VNM), a propósito de conocer su efectividad sobre el control postural, la propiocepción y el equilibrio, ya sea en individuos sanos o con trastornos musculoesqueléticos. Además, determinar el nivel de evidencia científica publicada sobre el VNM en los últimos 5 años. Material y métodos: se llevó a cabo una búsqueda bibliográfica en los meses de octubre y noviembre de 2021 en las siguientes bases de datos: PubMed, Web of Science (WOS), Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) y Scopus. Los principales criterios de eligibilidad fueron: ensayos clínicos publicados en los últimos cinco años sobre vendaje neuromuscular, propiocepción y control postural. Se siguieron las directrices PRISMA para revisiones sistemáticas y para el análisis de sesgo y calidad metodológica se utilizaron: escala PEDro, criterios de Van Tulder y análisis del riesgo de sesgo de la Colaboración Cochrane. Resultados y discusión: se incluyeron un total de 22 artículos para su análisis, obteniendo una puntuación media de 6,45 en la escala PEDro. Los estudios analizaron distintas variables, destacando el estudio del efecto del vendaje neuromuscular sobre propiocepción, equilibrio, control postural o postura estática. Se obtuvieron resultados significativos para al menos una variable en 16 artículos. Conclusión: el vendaje neuromuscular carece de evidencia sólida que sustente su aplicación como única técnica de tratamiento para abordar el control postural, el equilibrio o la propiocepción. La variabilidad de aplicaciones en los estudios y los resultados obtenidos no permite determinar el tipo de técnica idónea a aplicar en cada situación, lo cual establece la necesidad de individualizar en la práctica clínica. Debido a las contradicciones observadas en la evidencia científica es necesario continuar investigando sus efectos sobre la propiocepción, equilibrio y control postural. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
