Aim: to evaluate the effect of physical therapy rehabilitation on pain and functional
mobility of the lower limbs in patients in the chronic phase of Chikungunya virus
infection. Methodology: 40 women diagnosed with Chikungunya fever were evaluated
before and after multimodal physical therapy intervention for pain intensity and
functional mobility by the visual analog pain scale (VAS) and timed up and go test
(TUG), respectively. The statistical analysis was performed by Student’s t or Wilcoxon
test and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: after therapeutic
intervention there was a significant reduction in the values related to the perception of
pain intensity in the lower limbs indicated by VAS (p<0.05) and in the time of execution
of the TUG test (p<0.05). Conclusion: physical therapy intervention reduced pain in the
lower limbs and improved functional mobility. |
