    Dor femoropatelar: desequilíbrio e sobrecarga
    (Universidade Brasil, 2020) Albuquerque, Carlos Eduardo de; Nunez, Silvia Cristina
    Patellofemoral pain (PFP) is a multifactorial pathology difficulty to diagnose. Predominant in women at productive phase, PFP reduces physical performance, affects quality of life and psychosocial health of individuals with this condition. PFP has an insidious onset and remains delicately disturbing at all times in the individual. This paper aims to identify factors associated with PFP in women; and demonstrate the action of overload on the control of knee joint movement in the presence of PFD. To develop the proposal of this study are presented 3 articles and 1 mobile application. The articles discuss the lateral stabilization of the patella, performed by the iliotibial tract and the change in muscle activity caused by overload. The iliotibial tract is more than 60% thickened in the PFD group. Mechanical overload on the knee joint with PFD changed the relationship of muscular balance in the frontal plane of movement (between the vastus lateralis and medialis muscles) with increased activation of the vastus lateralis muscle. The mobile aplication to aid on PFP diagnosis provided an overview of the biopsychosocial status of the individual assessed according to function, quality of life, kinesiophobia and physical activity index questionnaire. PFP presents itself as a complex condition, compromising several systems and with poor diagnosis. This work contributed to the construction of tools to assist the diagnosis of PFP.

    Desenvolvimento de uma manta de LEDs em formato de fita ajustável para aplicações de terapia de fotobiomodulação
    (Universidade Brasil, 2020) Silva Filho, Francisco do Nascimento; Costa, Mardoqueu Martins da; Ferraresi, Cléber
    Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are photobiomodulatory devices formed by solid semiconductors joined together and that generate a reliable and high power light source in narrow ranges of light bands (between 20-50 nm) and that have been gaining prominence in the context of health and aesthetics. In this context, the objective of the work was to develop an LED strip in an adjustable ribbon format for photobiomodulation applications and an application (App) for mobile device and equipment control via Bluetooth. The device was formed by an irradiation blanket, electronic control equipment using the Arduino platform and the control app with an MIT App Inventor for Android software interface (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Based on what was found in this study, it appears that the development of an LED mat for this purpose proved to be feasible. It was also observed that the features of the App were compatible with the platform in question. Thus, the present research found that the LED blanket developed with photobiomodulation proved to be viable, and future work is essential, adding new features and functions, optimizing its usability to professionals working in the aesthetic and physical education fields.
