Resumo: | During the aging process many alterations occur in the human organism. The gradual reduction of muscular mass, force and flexibility intervenes with the physical and functional capacity of the individual. Camptocormia is described as an abnormal posture of the trunk with severe bending of the thoracolumbar column and knees that intervenes with the functionality of the aged one. With the increasing number of aged people the study of the conditions which can diminish the autonomy of this population becomes relevant. The aim of this study is to describe, from a scientific ground on Geriatrics and Physiotherapy literature, both camptocormia and how this condition can influence the functionality of the aged one. The etiology of camptocormia is not well understood as yet. Authors show controversy as to its causes. Both psychic and organic factors are recognized as important. It is commonly established among researchers that an excessively forward projected posture cannot be considered normal. The disorganization imposed by camptocormia to the bones, articulations and muscular systems and the lack of Brazilian literature on the subject make for the study relevance. Moreover, it is important to investigate the relation of camptocormia to physical and functional alterations frequently found in aged people. To make it possible the study was based on the biomechanics of postural alterations shown in camptocormia, however unrelated to it in scientific literature. Further studies on longitudinal body posture are necessary, so that all the biomechanical and functional alterations can be described and the kinetic-functional diagnosis obtained, as well as a safe form of physiotherapeutic intervention is found. |

A diminuição gradativa de massa muscular, da força e flexibilidade interfere na capacidade física e funcional do indivíduo. A camptocormia é descrita como uma postura anormal do tronco com severa flexão da coluna toracolombar e de joelhos que interfere na funcionalidade do idoso. Com o crescimento do número de idosos torna-se relevante o estudo das condições que podem diminuir a autonomia dessa população. Este estudo tem como objetivo descrever, com base na literatura científica nos campos da geriatria e fisioterapia, a camptocormia e como essa condição pode influenciar na funcionalidade do idoso. A etiologia da camptocormia não é bem compreendida. Há controvérsias entre os autores quanto às causas, pois tanto os fatores psíquicos quanto os orgânicos são reconhecidos como importantes. Uma constatação comum entre os pesquisadores é que uma postura excessivamente projetada para frente não pode ser considerada normal. A desorganização imposta pela camptocormia nos sistemas ósseo, articular e muscular e a ausência de literatura nacional sobre o tema caracterizam a relevância do estudo. Além disso, é importante relacionar a camptocormia com alterações físicas e funcionais frequentemente encontradas em idosos. Para que fosse possível essa relação o estudo baseou-se na biomecânica das alterações posturais presentes na camptocormia, porém não relacionadas a ela na literatura. Estudos longitudinais posteriores são necessários, para que se possam descrever todas as alterações biomecânicas e funcionais, obter o diagnóstico cinético-funcional e uma forma de intervenção fisioterapêutica segura.Editora UPF2011-01-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado por paresRevisão de Literaturaapplication/pdfhttp://seer.upf.br/index.php/rbceh/article/view/37210.5335/rbceh.2012.372Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano; v. 7 n. 1 (2010)2317-66951679-7930reponame:Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano (Online)instname:Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF)instacron:UPFporhttp://seer.upf.br/index.php/rbceh/article/view/372/929Rodrigues, Marlúcia de FátimaCaldas, Célia Pereirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-11-08T14:05:31Zoai:seer.upf.br:article/372Revistahttp://www.upf.br/seer/index.php/rbcehhttp://www.upf.br/seer/index.php/rbceh/oairbceh@upf.br||pasqualotti@upf.br2317-66951679-7930opendoar:2022-11-08T14:05:31Revista Brasileira de Ciências do Envelhecimento Humano (Online) - Universidade de Passo Fundo (UPF)false |
