Abstract(s)
Antecedentes: A pistola de massagem - um dispositivo portátil de massagem por percussão - está a ser cada vez mais utilizada no desporto e na fisioterapia devido aos efeitos positivos que se diz terem no corpo.
Objetivo: Estudar os potenciais efeitos da pistola de massagem na performance, dor ou funcionalidade.
Metodologia: Foi efetuada uma pesquisa na Biblioteca Cochrane, PubMed e SciELO de estudos que investigassem os efeitos da pistola de massagem, publicados em inglês, português e francês, utilizando o seguinte algoritmo; "theragun OR (percussive massage gun) OR (percussion massage gun) OR (massage gun) OR (Percussion Therapy) OR (Percussive Therapy) OR (percussion treatment) OR (Vibratory massage)".
Resultados: Foram selecionados 9 estudos, a maioria dos quais centrados na performance. A pistola de massagem parece ter efeitos potenciais na performance, mas também na dor e na funcionalidade.
Conclusão: Ainda há falta de estudos sobre o assunto para concluir sobre a utilização da pistola de massagem, mesmo que os estudos pareçam demonstrar certas aplicações possíveis.
