A eficácia da fisioterapia em programas de prevenção e protocolos de reabilitação para lesões do ombro em atletas

Abstract

Introduction: The shoulder is the joint that has hypermobility, thus, it has a higher risk of injuries such as dislocation, subluxation, instability and joint laxity. In amateur or professional athletes, the risk is higher due to overload, the main complaint presented is pain. This dysfunction is more recurrent in the context of sports and negatively impacts the athlete's life. Objectives: The research aims to identify and analyze prevention programs and rehabilitation protocols, based on the scientific literature, that demonstrate the effectiveness of physical therapy in shoulder injuries in athletes. Methodology: This research is an integrative literature review based on the search for scientific articles in the PubMed, SciELO and REASE databases, using the descriptors in Portuguese: "physiotherapy services", "Rehabilitation", "Accidental injuries", "Athletes"; and in English: "Physical Therapy Services", "Rehabilitation", "Accidental Injuries", "Athletes". Results: After a detailed analysis, 23 articles were selected, of which 13 were excluded and 10 were included in the review. Conclusion: The articles demonstrate the effectiveness of physiotherapy in both prevention and rehabilitation, especially with the significant analgesia resulting from pain treatment. Although the effectiveness of physiotherapy in the management of shoulder injuries has already been studied in the academic literature, there is still a lack of research, studies and evidence.
