Abstract(s)
Objetivo: verificar a eficácia do alongamento estático no alívio da perceção dolorosa e no limiar de sensibilidade à dor em pontos de gatilho latentes no trapézio superior em estudantes universitários. Metodologia: 15 alunos de fisioterapia da Universidade Fernando Pessoa, entre os 20 e os 28 anos de idade, 8 do sexo feminino e 7 do sexo masculino, com pontos gatilho latentes no trapézio superior, foram avaliados relativamente à perceção dolorosa dos mesmos e ao limiar de sensibilidade à dor. Posteriormente foram submetidos a alongamentos estáticos do trapézio superior, no lado mais doloroso, mantidos durante 10 segundo com períodos de relaxamento de 5 segundos, durante 15 repetições e reavaliados. Resultados: quando comparamos os momentos de avaliação, antes e após a aplicação do alongamento estático, verificámos diferenças estatisticamente significativas; no que se refere à perceção dolorosa e ao limiar de sensibilidade à dor no entanto, quando fazemos a comparação entre género (feminino e masculino) e entre membro em teste (esquerdo e direito) não observamos diferenças estatisticamente significativas. Conclusão: verificou-se que a técnica de alongamento estático realizada é eficaz na perceção dolorosa e no aumento do limiar de sensibilidade à dor provocada por pontos de gatilho latentes quando comparamos os resultados de avaliação nos diferentes momentos em que esta é feita independentemente do sexo e do membro doloroso.
Purpose: the aim of this study was to verify the effectiveness of static stretching in the relief of pain perception and the threshold of pain sensitivity in latent trigger points in the upper trapezius of college students. Methods: A sample of 15 physical therapy students (8 female and 7 male) were chosen at Universidade Fernando Pessoa, between 20 and 28 years old, with latent trigger points in the upper trapezius were evaluated for pain perception and threshold of sensitivity to pain. After that, they were submitted to static stretching of the upper trapezius during 10 seconds, on the more painful side, with 5-second relaxation periods. This test was made 15 times followed by a reassessment. Results: when comparing the inicial and final moments of evaluation after the application of static stretching, we found statistically significant differences in pain perception and pain sensitivity threshold. However, when we make the comparison between gender (male and female) and between sides (left and right ), no significant differences were found. Conclusion: static stretching technique revealed to be effective in pain perception and in the increase of pain sensivity threshold caused by latent trigger points when compared to the initial and final evaluation results.
