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.

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.

Background and PurposePostpoliomyelitis sequelae, such as gait instability and progressive weakness, predispose people with postpolio syndrome to secondary disabilities. With aging, people who depend on their upper extremities to accommodate lower-extremity deficits may anticipate overuse injuries. The purpose of this case report is to describe the use of mobilization and exercise in postoperative rehabilitation of rotator cuff surgery on a patient with postpolio syndrome.Case DescriptionA 48-year-old woman with postpolio syndrome had rotator cuff surgical repair followed by physical therapy intervention. Maitland mobilization and mild functional exercises were chosen to avoid triggering fatigue.OutcomesMeasurements taken preoperatively, before and after physical therapy intervention, and 2 years after intervention showed return to independent status with excellent retention.DiscussionNo fatigue or overuse weakness was encountered. This is the first case report to document physical therapy following rotator cuff repair in a patient with postpolio syndrome.
