A relação cinemática entre os membros inferiores e a coluna vertebral: revisão de literatura

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to review and describe the kinematic relationship between the lower limbs and the spine in healthy individuals. Method: Consultation in the PubMed, SciELO, PeDro, LILACS, SPORTDiscus and Cochrane Library databases in 2020. Studies using at least one of the evaluation measures were selected: 1) 3D motion capture system, 2) inertial sensor, 3) tri-axial accelerometers, 4) gravitational inclinometer or 5) force platform. The articles were screened by reading the titles, abstracts and articles in full. Results: The research strategy resulted in 736 titles and 10 were selected for this review. The increased ankle flexion range of motion induced by the use of a weightlifting shoe and foot support, in general, promoted a more upright posture of the torso during the squat, resulting in the absence of compensatory adjustments in the spine, while the restriction led to an increase lumbar and thoracic mobility. The authors state that the eversion of the feet has an influence on the change of the pelvic parameters during walking and standing on inclined surfaces, however they differ as to the findings in the vertebral parameters. Conclusion: The ankle flexion range of motion and the eversion of the foot can influence compensatory movements in the pelvis and spine during different tasks in healthy individuals
