Controle postural estático, composição corporal e índice de atividade física habitual em crianças e adolescentes vivendo com HIV

Abstract

Pediatric human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection remains a worldwide public health problem. HIV is a neurotropic virus, and, in addition to killing the various causes of cancer and spreading to the infected body, it is detected from the onset of infection without cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain tissue, affecting even the Nervous System (CNS), causing damage to the postural control of the individuals. The present study justifies the evaluation of some health-related variables, in particular a more in-depth investigation of balance / postural control indicators in children and adolescents living with the infection, in order to be at the highest risk of contracting without organization, development, changes, postural control, body composition and meaning as the habitual physical activity index of this population. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample was separated by convenience, composed of 12 children and adolescents, of both sexes, aged between 6 and 18 years, living with HIV / AIDS. As already mentioned, Dual Energy Radiological Absorption (DXA), for body composition; CEFISE® brand strength platform for postural control; and the habitual physical activity index, using the Balcke questionnaire (1982). Among the variables of postural control, a mean range of mean direction was reported from a bipodal direction model with an overview and without vision. The variables area and the total percentage of responses were seen within the evaluation conditions. The bipeds, in general, were introduced based on the foam of the gland, with the final vision, at last, without vision. Regarding the final habitual physical activity index, there was a mean of 7.0 that indicated active behavior for a decade, however, among the three scores, leisure physical activity was identified as a lower average in the group studied. It was concluded that the evaluation of the variables of the postural control in the three conditions of the testicles was performed with the pulse foam technique and then the higher pressure of the pressure center was performed, from the stimulus disturbance proprioceptives.
