Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalĂȘncia de sintomatologia em pacientes com epicondilite lateral crĂłnica e o seu impacto na vida dos pacientes. Metodologia: Estudo observacional transversal cuja amostra foi constituĂda por 19 participantes diagnosticados com epicondilite lateral com evolução superior a trĂȘs meses, no qual foi avaliada a intensidade de dor atravĂ©s de uma escala numĂ©rica, a força de preensĂŁo por dinamometria, a funcionalidade do membro superior pelo QuickDASH e a qualidade de vida atravĂ©s do WHOQOL-Bref, antes do programa de reabilitação ter inĂcio. Resultados: Os participantes apresentaram dor em repouso (5.00(6.00)) e em actividade (7.00(5.00)), menor força muscular no membro ipsilateral (homens: 42.63±10.58/ mulheres: 22.47±6.74) e no membro contralateral (homens: 40.82±9.35/ mulheres: 21.07±7.15), diminuição da funcionalidade do membro superior (44.37±19.38) e da qualidade de vida (75.79±13.54). Verificou-se que a diminuição da funcionalidade se correlacionou com a diminuição da qualidade de vida (p<0.01), da força muscular ispilateral (p<0.05) e contralateral (p<0.05), com o aumento da intensidade de dor (p<0.01) e com a maior duração dos sintomas (p<0.05). ConclusĂŁo: IndivĂduos com epicondilite lateral crĂłnica parecem apresentar um conjunto de sintomas locais que tĂȘm um impacto negativo em termos funcionais e da sua qualidade de vida.
Aim: To assess the prevalence of symptoms in patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. Methodology: Cross-sectional observational study whose sample consisted of 19 participants diagnosed with lateral epicondylitis with an evolution of more than three months, in which pain intensity was assessed by a numerical scale, grip strength by dynamometry, upper limb functionality by QuickDASH and quality of life by WHOQOL-Bref, before the rehabilitation programme began. Results: Participants presented pain at rest (5.00(6.00)) and during activity (7.00(5.00)), lower muscle strength (M: 42.63±10.58 / F: 22.47±6.74), decreased upper limb functionality (44.37±19.38) and quality of life (75.79±13.54). It was found that decreased functionality correlated with decreased quality of life (p<0.01), ispilateral (p<0.05) and contralateral (p<0.05) muscle strength, increased pain intensity (p<0.01) and longer symptom duration (p<0.05). Conclusion: Individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis seem to present a set of local symptoms that have a negative impact on their function and quality of life.
