Comparação do efeito do treinamento cinesiofuncional isolado ou associado à corrente interferencial no tratamento de lombalgia crônica inespecífica

Abstract

Several therapies are available in the field of physiotherapy. Kinesiotherapy is justified by the ability of muscles to maintain segmental stability. In addition, there are therapeutic resources such as the Interferential Current (IC). To verify and compare the effect of a protocol of 5 weeks of intervention on pain intensity, functionality and quality of life of individuals under different physiotherapeutic approaches. Wenty-four subjects were randomized into two groups: G I (kinesiofunctional training; n = 12) and G II (kinesiofunctional training + CIF; n = 12). Subjected to 10 sessions, evaluated before and after intervention, regarding pain, mobility, flexibility, central stabilization and functional capacity. The results indicated a significant improvement in both pain intensity (p <0.0001), mobility / flexibility and segmental stabilization in both groups, comparing pre and post intervention; however, there was no significant difference between the variables between groups. Both of the proposed interventions produce relevant short-term effects on the reduction of pain intensity, gain in mobility/flexibility and segmental stabilization.
