简要总结
The poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle of young people can reflect on structural changes in adult life, leading to vascular brain diseases. The cerebrovascular accident (AVC) represents the second cause of death throughout the country. Presents rapid development of clinical signs, providing focal disorders or brain function. It is necessary to the knowledge and development of new treatment techniques that may minimize the sequelae caused by the AVC, which is a common disease and of great impact on public health, represents the main cause of adult neurological disability, affecting the basic functions of the limbs, motor control and balance, strength and mobility, which involves changes in daily life and low self-esteemIn addition to the high cost of treatment and in the long run.
Thus, this study aims to analyze the response of low intensity laser on the prevention of pain and fatigue induced in rectus femoris, vastus of patients with sequelae of spasticity associated with effects on the laser promotes on muscle performance and muscle activity.
It is believed that this study get positive results as regards the increase of time antecedent to muscular fatigue associated with the skeletal muscle performance, so that the normotonics muscles gain strength and overcome the resistance of hypertonic muscles. In this way, it is expected that after the application of low intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) occurs to the adequacy of spasticity, muscle function the gain that had provided the highest quality of physiotherapy care.
It is known that treatment with the laser on the skeletal musculature, presents positive results and on the peak torque, by means of the skeletal muscle performance and consequently gain increase muscle performance (LEAL JUNIOR et al, 2010; ALMEIDA et al, 2011).
Armed with this information you can infer that the low intensity laser therapy on the spastic muscle, would result in improving muscle performance, with an increase of pre-stressing, improving the functional capacity of individuals under the exercises imposed by physical therapy. In this way, the sessions will take more satisfactory results which jointly provided better quality of life for these patients.
详细描述
With the course of the years, became notorious the transformation in the epidemiological profile of the Brazilian population, with the progressive decline of infectious diseases and illness narratives and the gradual growth of the chronic degenerative diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases of (ARAÚJO, 2012)
According to statistics of the Ministry of health, in the year 2010 were recorded about 100 thousand deaths due to cerebrovascular accident (AVE), a result of the sudden interruption of blood flow of the brain, which is currently responsible for leading cause death in Brazil (MINISTRY of health, 2012).
The heterogeneity of the Brazilian population, would explain the current epidemiological transition, and as a result the high rates of mortality. The diseases of the circulatory system are as main cause death of Brazil, emphasizing the cerebrovascular disease, responsible for one third of deaths in the country.
The cerebral arteries are responsible for giving the necessary nutrients as a source of energy to neurons, the brain requires intense blood flow to meet your high intake of nutrients. Being that the interruption of the flow of oxygen and glucose for a period in excess of five minutes can cause irreversible damage to the brain.
Several pathological processes can cause the interruption of blood flow in certain brain areas. Between these processes include hemorrhages, embolisms, stroke and diseases that lead to suspension of blood flow, and therefore the deficit in the supply of nutrients.

结局指标
主要结局
muscle activity
时间窗: three days
Muscle activity will be captured with the aid of electromyography. So that the EMG data will be collected with the completion of the isometric contraction of the rectus femoris, vastus. Being held in this capture period of 50 seconds.
次要结局
- muscular performance(three days)
