Abstract(s)
Introdução: a Realidade Virtual tem sido utilizada em fisioterapia para a reabilitação física de diferentes tipologias de pacientes, no entanto não foram ainda sintetizados os seus efeitos na força muscular de idosos.
Objetivo: Sumariar a evidência científica sobre o efeito da aplicação de programas de intervenção baseados em realidade virtual na força muscular de idosos.
Metodologia: Foi realizada uma pesquisa nas bases de dados Pubmed, Web of Science e EBSCOhost, para identificar estudos randomizados controlados que avaliassem o efeito de intervenções com realidade virtual na força muscular de idosos. A qualidade metodológica foi analisada através da escala de PEDro.
Resultados: Foram incluídos 6 estudos envolvendo 265 participantes (21% homens), com idade média de 76 anos e com qualidade metodológica média de 5,5/10. A intervenção com recurso a realidade virtual melhorou a força muscular dos idosos em 3 estudos incluídos. Conclusão: Protocolos de exercício físico baseados em realidade virtual parecem ter potencial para aumentar a força muscular de idosos, mas são necessários estudos adicionais para confirmar o seu efeito.
Introduction: virtual reality has been used in physiotherapy to rehabilitate patients with different conditions, but it’s the effects on muscle strength of older adults has not been summarized yet. Aim: To summarize the scientific evidence on the effect of applying intervention programs based on virtual reality technologies on muscle strength in the elderly. Methodology: A search was carried out in the Pubmed, Web of Science and EBSCOhost databases to identify randomized controlled studies evaluating the effect of virtual reality interventions on muscle strength in the elderly. The methodological quality was analyzed using the PEDro scale. Results: 6 studies were included involving 265 participants (21% men), with an average age of 76 years and an average methodological quality of 5.5/10. The regular practice of physical exercise using virtual reality improved muscle strength of elderly people levels in 3 included studies. Conclusion: physical exercise protocols based on virtual reality seem to have the potential to increase muscle strength in the elderly, but further studies are needed to confirm their effect.
