O BENEFÍCIO DA REABILITAÇÃO FISIOTERAPÊUTICA UTILIZANDO A TÉCNICA DA TERAPIA POR CONTENSÃO INDUZIDA A ELETROESTIMULAÇÃO MUSCULAR E BANDAGEM FUNCIONAL EM PACIENTE PÓS-ACIDENTE VASCULAR ENCEFÁLICO: RELATO DE CASO

Abstract

Stroke is an interruption of blood flow to the brain causing damage to neurological function. The induced restraint technique aims to stimulate motor function. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has the function of providing stimulation for the recovery of motor functionality, promoting an increase in muscle strength. Kinesio Taping Tape helps to improve movement by acting and stimulating muscle mobility. Objective: To describe the benefits of physical therapy rehabilitation using the technique of restraint therapy induced by muscle electrostimulation and kinesio taping in a post-stroke patient. Method: This is a case study, carried out from the physical therapy evaluation, in which an intervention protocol was developed for an individual who underwent 10 physiotherapy sessions lasting 60 minutes, using Kinesio Taping, FES Electrostimulation, active exercises for increase in strength and range of motion with induced restraint therapy in front of the mirror for postural correction. Results: An increase in the range of motion of the lower limbs, improvement in fine motor coordination, improvement in the execution of wrist and finger movements, and improvement in the reduction of motricity of the muscles of the right hemiface were observed. Conclusion: through the results presented, it was possible to conclude that the physical therapy treatment by Induced Contention Therapy, Kinesio Taping® and Electrostimulation are beneficial for the rehabilitation of patients with stroke.
