One major complaint associated with PD is upper extremity motor deficits (UE), frequently reported in difficulties to perform activities of daily living (ADL), which may negatively affect quality of life. In recent years new technologies have emerged to assist the UE rehabilitation process in PD, such as virtual reality. Therefore, this study sought to verify the effects of an intervention in the UE with semi-immersive virtual reality equipment on ADLs and quality of life of individuals with PD. Six individuals with PD were selected for intervention, and evaluated by the Mini Mental State Examination, the Hoehn & Yahr Scale, the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), the Parkinson’s Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39) and the test d’évaluation des membres supérieurs de personnes âgées (TEMPA). The interventions lasted 27 minutes per session, twice per week, for 5 weeks, using the Leap Motion Controller. Individuals showed improvement in muscle strength, muscle endurance, ADLs, and quality of life, all statistically significant. In conclusion, the protocol based on virtual reality applied to the upper limbs effectively improved the activities of daily living and quality of life in individuals with PD.","PeriodicalId":436434,"journal":{"name":"Fisioterapia e Pesquisa","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129656107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to evaluate the possible differences in motor coordination and EF between adults and older adults with high and low schooling level as well as the possible correlations between motor coordination and EF in this sample. A total of 75 healthy individuals (aged from 30 to 89 years) were evaluated. EF was assessed by the trail making test (TMT) whereas motor coordination was assessed by the upper limb diadochokinetic test, which is the rapid alternation between supination and pronation of the forearms (right, left, both performing in-phase movements, and both performing anti-phase movements). Analysis of variance showed that age and schooling level possibly influenced EF and motor coordination. Possible relationships between EF and diadochokinesis were calculated by Pearson’s correlation. Older adults with low schooling level were significantly slower on the TMT part B (cognitive and motor) and delta TMT (cognitive). All groups were slower performing the anti-phase movement, especially those with low schooling level. Results showed only weak correlations between EF and motor coordination. Age and schooling level influenced executive function and motor coordination. However, the EF and motor coordination tests presented no correlation when these two factors were statistically corrected.","PeriodicalId":436434,"journal":{"name":"Fisioterapia e Pesquisa","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122976214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The prevalence of sports injuries in amateur Taekwondo athletes in Pelotas was 26.2% (n=1), without significant differences between sexes. The main reason for the practice was physical conditioning (35.7%). The main mechanism of injury was kick when attacking (45.4%), followed by impact when defending (27.3%).
