Efeitos do tratamento fisioterapêutico em pós-cirúrgico em laminectomia e artrodese toraco lombar: relato de caso

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Post-laminectomy syndrome is defined as lumbar spinal pain of unknown origin that consists of the same location as pain originating even with surgical interventions or even occurring during surgery. Thoracolumbar arthrodesis is the fusion of two or more vertebral bodies, using metal rods such as plates and screws or grafts with surgical cement. OBJECTIVES: Confirm physiological improvement and function with rehabilitation. METHODOLOGY: A physical assessment of muscle strength (MRC scale) was carried out, an EVA scale was used to evaluate pain and treatment carried out muscle stimulation through FES (functional Electrical Stimulation) and Kinesiotherapy four times a week, to recover the movements of muscles, joints, ligaments , tendons and structures to the central and peripheral nervous systems. RESULTS: Through graphs and tables, the patient's improvement in his sensory and neuromuscular functions was presented according to the conduct and degree of evolution, obtaining a significant advance in his treatment. DISCUSSION: Of the authors researched, all obtained positive results when using the combination of electrotherapy and kinesiotherapy therapies associated or not with pharmacological treatments. CONCLUSION: From the conclusion we see that the therapeutic objective achieved shows improvement through the proposed treatment.
