Aquatic Exercise Science
Quase completamos 100 artigos em 13 meses (estamos felizes) e, no mês de julho, 60 % dos artigos publicados foram ensaios clínicos aleatórios. Dois do Brasil, sobre paralisia cerebral e doença de Parkinson e o restante do Irã (dor lombar), da China (lesão do ligamento cruzado anterior), Arabia Saudita (também sobre paralisa cerebral) e da Polonia sobre Covid-19. Dois estudos espanhóis, aparentemente o mesmo estudo, porém com o n diferente que aborda a fisioterapia aquática em pessoas com déficits intelectuais, mais um estudo brasileiro que investiga o efeito do exercício aquático no pós-operatório de reconstrução do manguito rotador (esses três últimos são relato de série de casos) e o último, um estudo Chines que, de forma retrospectiva, dividiu dois grupos e interpretou os resultados para pessoas com dor lombar crônica (certa incerteza aqui). Confiram a lista abaixo:
We have nearly reached 100 articles in 13 months (we´re on cloud nine), and in July, 60 % of the published articles were randomized controlled trials. Two of these were from Brazil, on cerebral palsy and Parkinson’s disease, and the rest from Iran (low back pain), China (anterior cruciate ligament injury), Saudi Arabia (also on cerebral palsy), and Poland (on COVID-19). Two Spanish studies—apparently the same study, but with a different sample—address aquatic physical therapy in people with intellectual disabilities, one Brazilian study investigates the effect of aquatic exercise in the postoperative period of rotator cuff reconstruction (these last three are case series reports), and the last study, from China, retrospectively divided two groups and interpreted the results for people with chronic low back pain (it´s up in the air).
