Resumo

Introdução: O uso de bandas compressivas para comprimir o tórax está amplamente difundido como forma de afirmação de género; contudo, os seus impactos biomecânicos agudos ainda não estão totalmente esclarecidos.

Objectivo: Este estudo teve como objectivo investigar os efeitos imediatos de uma banda compressiva comercial na mecânica respiratória e na cinemática cervicotorácica.

Metodologia: Trinta e duas mulheres saudáveis ​​participaram num ensaio clínico cruzado randomizado, comparando uma condição de controlo (sem soutien) com o uso de uma banda compressiva. As medidas de resultados incluíram a função pulmonar (espirometria), a expansão torácica regional, a cifose torácica e a amplitude de movimento cervical (ADM).

Resultados: A utilização de banda compressiva reduziu significativamente o VEF1 (p < 0,001) e a relação VEF1/CVF (p = 0,038). A expansão torácica foi severamente restringida nos lobos médio (-3,87 cm, p < 0,001) e inferior (-2,35 cm, p < 0,001). Além disso, a compressão anterior aumentou significativamente a cifose torácica, de 34,52 graus para 36,54 graus (p = 0,032), reduzindo consequentemente a amplitude de movimento cervical (ADM) em todos os seis planos anatómicos (todos p < 0,05).

Conclusão: A aplicação aguda de uma ligadura torácica limita significativamente a excursão regional da parede torácica e a função pulmonar dinâmica. Concomitantemente, induz uma postura hipercifótica que restringe a mobilidade cervical, realçando a necessidade de diretrizes para bandagens seguras e programas de reabilitação postural direcionados.
