ABSTRACT: Patients who undergo excisional surgical procedures such as femoral head and neck ostectomy (FHO) require a postoperative rehabilitation plan which includes different physical therapy modalities. Therefore, this retrospective study was done to demonstrate the different physical therapy modalities utilized in 20 dogs who were subjected to FHO, and to provide data on the frequency of physical therapy modalities, the protocol duration and time interval from the commencement of physiotherapy and surgery and the patient’s functional recovery. All the protocols included the modalities of thermotherapy (heat), massage, passive stretching and passive joint movement. In the initial phase, electrotherapy and therapeutic ultrasound were most often used, while the water treadmill was continued until the treatment was completed. Physiotherapy sessions varied from 3 to 50 in number, and physiotherapy was commenced from day 5 until day 214 post the surgical procedure. The functional recovery of the limb was in the following range: 65% (13/20) satisfactory, 25% (5/20) partially satisfactory and 10% (2/20) unsatisfactory. Physical therapy treatment was thus concluded to be most influential in the functional recovery of the limb, even if was started late.

INTRODUCTION: Urinary incontinence affects more than 50 million people worldwide, it has a great impact on quality of life by affecting social, domestic, occupational and sex life, regardless of age. Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of physical therapy treatment in women attending the Urogynecology service of Hospital and Maternity Leonor Mendes de Barros. METHOD: We retrospectively assessed 65 records of patients with diagnosis of urinary incontinence treated between November 2005 and November 2006. In order to have their data analyzed, patients were divided into two groups; group MF, which underwent medical treatment and physiotherapy, and group M, which had only medical treatment. In order to compare both groups' quantitative data, the analysis was performed in Statistica® software using Mann Whitney's non-parametric test. The analysis of association between the quantitative variables was performed through the Chi-Square test at 5% (p > 0.05) significance level. RESULTS: We observed that 60.6% of patients who underwent physical therapy treatment and medical treatment had the urinary incontinence symptoms decreased or completely cured, while 80% of women belonging to the medical treatmen only-group underwent surgery. CONCLUSION: Thus, we conclude that physical therapy is essential in treatment protocols of urinary incontinence outpatient clinics and to prevent surgery.

Objective: to analyze the benefits of physicaltherapytreatmentinpatients withaclinicaldiagnosisofherniateddisc.Materials and Methods: this descriptive study is characterized as a qualitative, quantitative and cross-sectional research. An online questionnaire was collected to collect data about the benefits of physical therapytreatmentinpatientswithdischerniation.Results:itwasevidencedprevalenceofdisc hernias in individuals aged 38 to 42 years, male, with predominance in the lumbar region, having as main risk factor to take / carry weight. As a conservative treatment method, 68.3% underwent physical therapy and 61% of individuals reported having associated exercises with the treatment method. Of 41 respondents, 30 reported that physical therapy treatment helped reduce pain. Conclusion: it can be concluded that the physiotherapeutic treatment through its various treatment modalities provides benefitsto the disc herniated patient, reducing the pain and improving the whole kinesiofunctionalcomplex.

Objective: To identify the knowledge about physiotherapy as a treatment of urinary incontinence in continent women. Methods: The study was characterized by a cross-sectional and quantitative study. A ten items questionnaire, created by the researchers, was used with related questions about women's health. The sample consisted of 60 continents women, aged between 20-90 years, divided into age groups, accommodating ten participants in each age delimitation as follows: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-90. Results: The results showed that 65% of the women did not know about the physiotherapeutic treatment for UI, 28.33% had heard and 6.67% knew about it. The channels of knowledge selected by the volunteers who claimed to know or hear about physiotherapy in the UI were 18.18% media, 31.82% were people known, 45.45% were health professionals, and 4.55% were other unna/med forms. It was also found that women aged between 60 and 90 years have more knowledge on the subject (15%) than those aged 20 to 39 (5%) and 40 to 59 years (0%). Conclusion: It is concluded, therefore, that continents women need more information regarding physical therapy treatment for urinary incontinence. In addition, this awareness should occur in a multidisciplinary way to cover a greater number of women and information providers, in view of the search for treatment early avoid greater complications.

Abstract Purpose To evaluate the effects of: 1) time between injury and physical therapy treatment and 2) time spent in physical therapy, on concussion symptom resolution. Methods Retrospective data was obtained for 202 patients who sustained a concussion and were referred for physical therapy. Subjects were assigned to groups based on type of injury (sport-related or not), time elapsed between concussion and therapy (0-14 days, 15–30, 31–60, 61–120, 121–365), and months spent in treatment (1 thru 4). Pre- and post- treatment scores were compared for the following measures: Sport Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT), Convergence Insufficiency Symptom Survey (CISS), Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), and Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance (mCTSIB) using ANOVAs, with a Bonferroni-corrected p-value of p<.005. Results There was no significant difference in outcomes for athletes vs. non-athletes on SCAT Symptom (p=.74) or Severity Score (p=.18), CISS (p=.52), DHI (p=.05), or mCTSIB (p=.10); in outcomes for time elapsed since injury on SCAT Symptom Score (p=.80), SCAT Symptom Severity Score (p=.97), CISS (p=.61), DHI (p=.65), mCTSIB (p=.13); or in outcomes for months in treatment on SCAT Symptom Score (p=.23), SCAT Symptom Severity Score (p=.04), CISS (p=.41), DHI (p=.37), mCTSIB (p=.50). Conclusion Post-therapeutic improvements were noted for athletes receiving post-concussive physical therapy. Type of injury, time between injury and treatment, and time spent in treatment did not differentiate treatment outcomes for those receiving physical therapy post-concussion.
