Background: subjects who have suffered DRF submitted imobilization may have a loss in active range of motion and functional deficit. Objectives: evaluate changes in the wrist and verify the effectiveness of physical therapy intervention used in the treatment of DRF. Methods: a physiotherapy evaluation form, goniometry and Visual Analogue Scale were used to assess the patient. A treatment protocol was applied for seven sessions. Results: the results showed reduced pain and increased range of motion of the wrist. Conclusion: there were changes as pain and reduced range of motion of the wrist. The treatment protocol was effective for these changes.

Objectives The objective of this trial was to compare the efficacy of acromioclavicular joint mobilization and standard physical-therapy versus physical-therapy alone in the treatment of the frozen shoulder. Design Single-blind randomized clinical trial. Setting Outpatient setting. Subjects Patients with frozen shoulder. Intervention Participants were randomly allocated into mobilization + physical-therapy (n = 28), and physical-therapy alone (n = 28) groups for one month. Main Measures The primary outcomes were the shoulder pain and disability index and the shoulder range of motion. The secondary outcome was the visual analogue scale. Measures were performed at the baseline, immediately and one month after the beginning of the treatment. Results Visual analogue scale and the shoulder pain and disability index improved more significantly in the mobilization group compared to the physical-therapy group immediately [−4.63 (−5.58–−3.67) vs. −2.22 (−2.96–−1.47), P < 0.001 and −23.08 (−28.63–−17.53) vs. −13.04 (−17.93–−8.16), P = 0.008, respectively] and one month after the beginning of the treatment [−5.58 (−6.45–−4.72) vs. −3.61 (−4.60–−2.62), P < 0.001 and −33.43 (−40.85–−26.01) vs. −20.03 (−26.00–−14.07), P = 0.001, respectively]. Active abduction range of motion was also improved more significantly immediately after the treatment in the mobilization group compared to the physical-therapy group [25.83 (11.45–40.13) vs. 10.17 (1.02–19.15), P = 0.025], however there were no significant differences between two groups concerning other measured range of motions. Conclusions Adding acromioclavicular mobilization to standard physical-therapy was more efficient in decreasing pain and disability and improving active abduction range of motion compared to standard physical-therapy in frozen shoulder patients.

Objetivo: o objetivo deste estudo de caso foi descrever uma intervenção fisioterapêutica em um menino de 5 anos com Síndrome de Leigh (LS). Método: o equilíbrio foi testado por meio da Escala de Equilíbrio Pediátrico (PBS) e a função nas atividades da vida diária foi medida com a avaliação Pediátrica do Inventário de Incapacidade (PEDI). Além disso, a distribuição da pressão plantar (PPD) foi medida durante uma velocidade auto selecionada, caminhando em uma plataforma de detecção capacitiva. A intervenção baseou-se no uso de cinesioterapia, recursos sensoriais e proprioceptivos, em sessões de 50 minutos, duas vezes por semana, durante 10 semanas. Resultados: O presente estudo demonstrou ganhos para a criança em relação ao equilíbrio durante a marcha. Da mesma forma, foi observada a melhora do controle postural, planejamento de tarefas e outras habilidades. Conclusão: A intervenção fisioterapêutica neste relato de caso para a Síndrome de Leigh foi eficaz e poderia servir de base para estudos futuros ou intervenção em terapia clínica que segue esse tipo de tratamento.

Present Case Study

The aim of the present report was to find out the effect of 448 kHz Capacitive Resistive Monopolar Radiofrequency (CRMRF) in acute ankle sprain. A patient with right unilateral acute ankle sprain participated in the present case study. The patient followed a course of 448 kHz CRMRF twice per day for seven consecutive days. Evaluations included self-reported pain via a visual analogue scale, degree of ankle edema and ankle range of motion via goniometry carried out before the treatment and at the end of the treatment. There was a decline in pain and a rise in function in all evaluations. The results of the present trial suggest that a course of 448 kHz CRMRF as described in the present trial can produce significant improvements in terms of pain and disability in acute ankle sprain; however, larger studies are required confirming these results.

Physical Therapy Intervention

No studies have described physical therapy treatment for children with congenital Zika virus syndrome. In this case report, the authors aimed to improve postural control, mobility, and social skills in a 17- to 18-month-old child with congenital Zika virus syndrome through a period of 6-week home-based, intensive physical therapy intervention. Outcome measures were the Posture and Postural Ability Scale, Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory, and Caregiver Priorities and Child Health Index of Life With Disabilities. From pre- to postintervention, the child’s Posture and Postural Ability Scale scores increased for level of postural ability in the prone position and postural alignment in all 4 positions (prone, supine, sitting, and standing). The authors saw an overall improvement in mobility and social skills from preintervention to follow-up 3 weeks after intervention. In conclusion, postural control, mobility, and social skills improved for a child with congenital Zika virus syndrome after physical therapy intervention, but future studies are required to confirm these findings.
