Impacto da asma relacionado coa calidade de vida, dor e mobilidade relacionada coa saúde dos pés en pacientes adultos

Abstract

Introduction: asthma is a non-communicable and highly prevalent lung disease associated with a lower capacity for bronchial response that can affect the quality of life based on changes in lung function, musculoskeletal disorders and postural disorders. Methods: three case studies (patients diagnosed with asthma) and controls were performed. The pressure pain threshold was assessed in the tarsal tunnel and the peroneal malleolus (I), the range of ankle dorsiflexion and 1st metaphalangeal joint, the fall rate (II) and health. of the foot using the Foot Health Status Questionnaire and Beck's depression inventory in Spanish (III). Results: patients with asthma showed significant differences in the following parameters: decrease in the pressure pain threshold of the bilateral tarsal tunnel (I), lower range of dorsal flexion movement of the ankle and 1st metaphalangeal joint, higher rate of falls (II) and deterioration of the quality of life related to the health of the foot and footwear (III). Conclusions: Patients diagnosed with asthma showed a bilateral increase in the mechanosensitive of the tarsal tunnel, decreased dorsiflexion of the ankle and foot joints, a higher rate of fall and a negative impact on the quality of life.
