Brachial Plexus Injury Clinical Trial
Official title:
SURGICAL REPERCUSSIONS IN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM, TRUNK BIOMECHANICAL, FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH POST-TRAUMATIC BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURIES: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY
To evaluate the surgical repercussions in patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury in the respiratory and motor systems, trunk biomechanics, functional capacity and quality of life.
Type of study will be a prospective cohort. The study will be performed at the Laboratory of Cardiopulmonary Physiotherapy of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE). The sample will be calculated from a pilot study to be previously performed. The pilot study should have 10 individuals, 5 patients in each of the two groups. A group of patients who has brachial plexus injury and a group of healthy individuals for the pairing by sex and age. Eligibility criteria: patients who will undergo surgical intervention (within one year of the trauma), of both sexes, between 20 and 45 years of age, sedentary (oriented and encouraged to perform the activities of daily living at home, however , outside of any rehabilitation program) and encouraged to refrain from using tobacco. Patients with pulmonary contusions, severe pneumopathies, patients with congestive heart failure (NYHA class III or IV), diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, hemodynamic instability (MAP <60 mmHg), multiple thorax fractures, amputation of one limb cognitive changes. Physiotherapeutic evaluations will be performed by a single physiotherapist trained in the preoperative one, three and six months after surgery for brachial plexus injury. The instruments of evaluation included are: optoelectronic plethysmography, spirometry, manovacuometry, diaphragmatic ultrasound, g-walk, upper limb dynamometry, pain questionnaires (Mcgill and DN4), upper limb functionality questionnaire (DASH) minutes and the quality of life questionnaire (Whoquol). Expected Results: The greatest impact should be to assist the patient in the prevention and physiotherapeutic treatment in relation to the possible sequels arising from the surgical process, besides fomenting the literature, expanding the knowledge about the subject and determining the applicability of the existing therapeutic resources, so that these are not used indiscriminately in daily practice. ;
