Resumo(s)
A reumatologia é a área que se dedica às doenças reumáticas e que engloba variadas disfunções músculo – esqueléticas e sistémicas, sendo a artrite reumatoide uma doença articular inflamatória crónica de natureza autoimune, que envolve as pequenas articulações das mãos, punhos, joelhos, articulações tíbio - társicas e pés, podendo provocar a destruição articular e incapacidade funcional, sendo mais frequente nas mulheres. Os doentes com artrite reumatoide a inflamação articular nas fases mais precoces, podendo evoluir (se inadequadamente tratados) para deformações articulares (nas fases mais tardias), motivadas pela inflamação que evolui com destruição da cartilagem e erosões ósseas.
O estágio no Instituto Português de Reumatologia permitiu o aperfeiçoamento e consolidação de competências de promoção, concepção e aplicação de programas de exercício físico, tal como o programa domiciliário de 8 semanas aplicado, prevenindo a ocorrência ou agravamento da doença e incapacidade. Ao nível da intervenção profissional, permitiu aperfeiçoar e consolidar o desempenho das funções com populações de moderado a elevado risco.
Após o programa domiciliário houve alterações a nível da interferência da dor na vida do doente, na dificuldade de realização de actividades da vida diária, e na flexibilidade de membros superiores e inferiores, melhorando os resultados. Diminui o risco de queda ao melhorar os resultados do teste físico Timed Up and Go (TUG).
Rheumatology is the area devoted to rheumatic diseases and encompasses a variety of musculoskeletal and systemic dysfunctions, with rheumatoid arthritis being a chronic autoimmune inflammatory joint disease involving the small joints of the hands, wrists, knees, Tarsus and feet, causing joint destruction and functional disability, being more frequent in women. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have joint inflammation in the early stages, and may evolve (if inadequately treated) to joint deformations (later stages), due to the inflammation that develops with destruction of cartilage and bone erosions. The internship at the Portuguese Institute of Rheumatology allowed the improvement and consolidation of competencies to promote, design and apply physical exercise programs, such as the 8-week home program applied, preventing the occurrence or worsening of the disease and disability. At the level of the professional intervention, it allowed to improve and consolidate the performance of the functions with populations from moderate to high risk. After the home program, there were changes in pain interference in the patient's life, in the difficulty of performing activities of daily living, and in the flexibility of upper and lower limbs, improving the results. Decreases the risk of falls by improving the results of the Timed Up and Go physical test (TUG).
