Physical Functional Impacts of Rehabilitation in Patients With Human Lymphotropic Virus Type I

In our times, it is known that approximately 5% of patients seropositive for HTLV-1 may desengage a frame with several neurological disorders, which is called myelopathy associated with HTLV-1, characterized for gait, decreased dynamic balance and limitation of walking independence the use of walkers, crutches as in wheelchairs. This evolution of the disease is based, above all, on muscle changes, such as inflammation of the muscles, which contributes to the attenuation of muscle capacity . In addition, muscle changes caused by HTLV-1 also affect the respiratory muscles, causing a change in respiratory mechanics, which can impair alveolar ventilation and, therefore, the development of a restorative respiratory disorder, reducing total lung capacity. Therefore, it is perceived the importance of offering planned rehabilitation according to the global assessment of the health status of these patients, considering their influence on activities of daily living.The focus of this study is on the weekly respiratory muscle training, as assessed by mensuration maximal inspiratory pressure, showed significant results in improving lung capacity and in this way promoting the prevention of pulmonary complications. Therefore, the protocol proposed by the present study includes respiratory muscular training plus resistance exercise, assessing the impact on both the strength muscular respiratory to as peripheral muscles, through the palmar pressure test and consequent enhancement of quality life and functionality of these patients. Furthermore, it will be possible to contribute to the knowledge of society and the scientific community about this theme, which is still very small in the world literature.

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 80 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Respiratory muscle training group
Inspiratory muscle training with linear load device, associated with the resisted training. The initial training load for each participant will be adjusted to 25% of MIP. Each week, the researcher determines the new values for load (1 to week 25%, 2 to week 35%;. 3 to week 40%;. 4 to week 45%;. 5 to week 50%.).The resistance training protocol will consist of the exercises of the front pull, the extension chair and the vertical bench press, covering large muscle groups in the dorsal region of the quadriceps and chest, respectively. Each year consist of three sets of 10 repetitions with a load equivalent to 60% of a test Repetition Maximum (1RM), which will be changed every week (1 to week 60%, 2 to week 65%;. 3 the . week 70%, 4 to week. 75%, 5 to week 80%).
Other: Inspiratory muscle trainning
linear load device, associated with the resisted training. The initial training load for each participant will be adjusted to 25% of MIP. Each week, the researcher determines the new values for load (1 to week 25%, 2 to week 35%;. 3 to week 40%;. 4 to week 45%;. 5 to week 50%.).
Active Comparator: Aerobic exercise group
Exercise bike for 30 minutes, which will be divided into 10 minutes for the foot heating and 20 minutes for the workout aerobic exercise that will have to maintain a target training heart rate, training has to be equivalent to 40% to 60%% target intensity.
Other: Exercise

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
