RIZOTOMIA DORSAL SELETIVA NA PARALISIA CEREBRAL: CRITÉRIOS DE INDICAÇÃO E PROTOCOLOS DE REABILITAÇÃO FISIOTERAPÊUTICA PÓS-OPERATÓRIA

RESUMO

Objetivo:

Identificar critérios de seleção para a rizotomia dorsal seletiva (RDS) na paralisia cerebral (PC), analisar os instrumentos de avaliação e descrever as características da fisioterapia nos protocolos pós-operatórios.

Fontes de dados:

Revisão do tipo integrativa nas bases de dados SciELO, PEDro, Cochrane Library e PubMed. Os termos em português e inglês “paralisia cerebral”, “rizotomia dorsal seletiva” e “fisioterapia” foram utilizados na busca. Os critérios de inclusão foram: artigos que arrolaram indivíduos com PC, que realizaram fisioterapia nos protocolos de RDS e que descreviam características desses protocolos. Foram excluídos artigos de revisão da literatura e não houve restrição de período de publicação.

Síntese dos dados:

Incluíram-se 18 estudos, sendo a maioria coortes prospectivas, com acompanhamento dos pacientes de oito meses a dez anos. Os instrumentos das avaliações contemplam, na maior parte dos trabalhos, os domínios de funções e estruturas corporais e atividade. O percentual de secção das raízes posteriores foi próximo a 50%. A principal indicação para a RDS incluiu deambuladores com diplegia espástica, que preenchiam os seguintes critérios: espasticidade que interfere com a mobilidade, boa força muscular de membros inferiores e tronco, sem deformidades ortopédicas, distonia, ataxia ou atetose e boa função cognitiva. A fisioterapia é parte integrante dos protocolos de tratamento com RDS, devendo ser intensiva, específica e enfatizada principalmente no primeiro ano.

Conclusões:

Os estudos salientam a importância da seleção adequada dos pacientes para o sucesso dos resultados. A fisioterapia é intensiva e de longa duração, devendo necessariamente ter estratégias para modificar o antigo padrão motor.

ABSTRACT

Objective:

To identify selection criteria for selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) in cerebral palsy, to analyze the instruments used for evaluation, and to describe the characteristics of physical therapy in postoperative protocols.

Data sources:

Integrative review performed in the following databases: SciELO, PEDro, Cochrane Library, and PubMed. The terms in both Portuguese and English for “cerebral palsy”, “selective dorsal rhizotomy”, and “physical therapy” were used in the search. Studies whose samples enrolled individuals with cerebral palsy who had attended physical therapy sessions for selective dorsal rhizotomy according to protocols and describing such protocols’ characteristics were included. Literature reviews were excluded and there was no restriction as to period of publication.

Data synthesis:

Eighteen papers were selected, most of them being prospective cohort studies with eight-month to ten-year follow-ups. In most studies, the instruments of assessment encompassed the domains of functions, body structure, and activity. The percentage of posterior root sections was close to 50%. Primary indications for SDR included ambulatory spastic diplegia, presence of spasticity that interfered with mobility, good strength of lower limbs and trunk muscles, no musculoskeletal deformities, dystonia, ataxia or athetosis, and good cognitive function. Postoperative physical therapy is part of SDR treatment protocols and should be intensive and specific, being given special emphasis in the first year.

Conclusions:

The studies underline the importance of appropriate patient selection to obatin success in the SDR. Postoperative physical therapy should be intensive and long-term, and must necessarily include strategies to modify the patient’s former motor pattern.

INTRODUÇÃO

A espasticidade é a principal característica clínica de pacientes com paralisia cerebral (PC) espástica e é considerada a causa mais importante de desconforto, anormalidades na marcha e limitações funcionais.11. McLaughlin J, Bjornson K, Temkin N, Steinbok P, Wright V, Reiner A, et al. Selective dorsal rhizotomy: meta-analysis of three randomized controlled trials. Dev Med Child Neurol. 2002;44:17-25. Além disso, ela gera encurtamentos musculares que influenciam o crescimento ósseo e levam a deformidades. Seu controle, portanto, tem papel crucial no tratamento da PC.22. Aquilina K, Graham D, Wimalasundera N. Selective dorsal rhizotomy: an old treatment re-emerging. Arch Dis Child. 2015;100:798-802.

A rizotomia dorsal seletiva (RDS) é um procedimento neurocirúrgico utilizado em crianças com PC espástica bilateral com o objetivo de reduzir a espasticidade dos membros inferiores.33. Grunt S, Fieggen AG, Vermeulen RJ, Becher JG, Langerak NG. Selection criteria for selective dorsal rhizotomy in children with spastic cerebral palsy: a systematic review of the literature. Dev Med Child Neurol. 2014;56:302-12. A cirurgia é mais frequentemente realizada no nível lombossacral e baseia-se na interrupção do estímulo aferente do reflexo do estiramento monossináptico.33. Grunt S, Fieggen AG, Vermeulen RJ, Becher JG, Langerak NG. Selection criteria for selective dorsal rhizotomy in children with spastic cerebral palsy: a systematic review of the literature. Dev Med Child Neurol. 2014;56:302-12. A fim de preservar a função sensorial e de esfíncteres, a raiz dorsal é dividida em radículas separadas e apenas uma porção destas é seccionada.33. Grunt S, Fieggen AG, Vermeulen RJ, Becher JG, Langerak NG. Selection criteria for selective dorsal rhizotomy in children with spastic cerebral palsy: a systematic review of the literature. Dev Med Child Neurol. 2014;56:302-12.

A RDS foi descrita inicialmente por Foerster em 1908, a partir da observação de que a secção de radículas dorsais (sensoriais) poderia diminuir a espasticidade; também foi observada fraqueza muscular significativa com perdas sensoriais e proprioceptivas após o procedimento.22. Aquilina K, Graham D, Wimalasundera N. Selective dorsal rhizotomy: an old treatment re-emerging. Arch Dis Child. 2015;100:798-802. Dessa forma, Fasano, em 1978, introduziu a estimulação eletrofisiológica intraoperatória e a secção de uma porção de radículas dorsais, ambas utilizadas atualmente.22. Aquilina K, Graham D, Wimalasundera N. Selective dorsal rhizotomy: an old treatment re-emerging. Arch Dis Child. 2015;100:798-802. A técnica foi adotada e popularizada por Peacock e Arens em 1980.22. Aquilina K, Graham D, Wimalasundera N. Selective dorsal rhizotomy: an old treatment re-emerging. Arch Dis Child. 2015;100:798-802.

Os resultados da RDS mostram redução da espasticidade, ganhos na força muscular, na velocidade e cinemática da marcha, além de melhora na função motora grossa.44. Engsberg JR, Ross SA, Collins DR, Park TS. Effect of selective dorsal rhizotomy in the treatment of children with cerebral palsy. J Neurosurg. 2006;105:8-15.,55. Nordmark E, Josenby AL, Lagergren J, Andersson G, Stromblad LG, Westbom L. Long-term outcomes five years after selective dorsal rhizotomy. BMC Pediatr. 2008;8:54.,66. Graubert C, Song KM, McLaughlin JF, Bjornson KF. Changes in gait at 1 year post-selective dorsal rhizotomy: results of a prospective randomized study. J Pediatr Orthop. 2000;20:496-500.Quando se comparam os resultados de pacientes submetidos à RDS e fisioterapia com aqueles que receberam apenas fisioterapia, existe redução significativa da espasticidade e melhora funcional no primeiro grupo.77. Chan SH, Yam KY, Yiu-Lau BP, Poon CY, Chan NN, Cheung HM, et al. Selective dorsal rhizotomy in Hong Kong: multidimensional outcome measures. Pediatr Neurol. 2008;39:22-32.,88. Steinbok P, Reiner AM, Beauchamp R, Armstrong RW, Cochrane DD, Kestle J. A randomized clinical trial to compare selective posterior rhizotomy plus physiotherapy with physiotherapy alone in children with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. Dev Med Child Neurol. 1997;39:178-84. A fisioterapia específica tem papel fundamental no pós-operatório, sendo que, além de suas condutas formais, as primeiras semanas de pós-operatório requerem ainda cuidados em relação ao procedimento ósseo vertebral, laminectomia ou laminotomia.99. Steinbok P. Selective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy: a review. Childs Nerv Syst. 2007;23:981-90.,1010. Hendricks-Ferguson VL, Ortman MR. Selective dorsal rhizotomy to decrease spasticity in cerebral palsy. AORN J. 1995;61:514-8, 521-2, 525.

Os vários centros nos quais a RDS é realizada empregam protocolos especiais para o período pós-operatório. No Brasil, a técnica está começando a ser difundida e, devido às suas peculiaridades no tratamento pós-operatório, esta revisão dos protocolos descritos na literatura visa auxiliar os profissionais em um maior entendimento sobre o papel da fisioterapia na reabilitação. Assim, os objetivos deste estudo foram identificar os critérios de seleção para a RDS e descrever as características da fisioterapia nos protocolos pós-operatórios.

FONTES DE DADOS

Esta é uma revisão da literatura do tipo integrativa. Realizou-se a seleção das referências por pesquisa eletrônica, no mês de agosto de 2016, nas bases de dados SciELO, PEDro, Cochrane Library e PubMed. Os termos em português e inglês paralisia cerebral / cerebral palsy, rizotomia dorsal seletiva / dorsal selective rhizotomy e fisioterapia/ physical therapy foram utilizados na busca. Os títulos, resumos e, se necessário, o estudo na íntegra, foram revisados para determinar a sua inclusão ou exclusão, de acordo com o critério: artigos que incluíram indivíduos com PC, que realizaram fisioterapia nos protocolos de RDS e descreviam características desses protocolos. Não foram utilizados filtros nas buscas e não houve restrições de idade e período de publicação dos trabalhos. Foram excluídos os com delineamento de revisão da literatura. Ainda, a lista de referências dos selecionados foi analisada a fim de buscar outros manuscritos relevantes.

Após a seleção, realizou-se a sua leitura crítica, na qual as principais informações foram localizadas e apresentadas nas categorias:

  • Caracterização dos estudos incluídos.

  • Características das amostras dos estudos.

Instrumentos de avaliação de acordo com os domínios da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde

A avaliação dos pacientes candidatos à RDS deve ser o mais abrangente possível e conter elementos da Classificação Internacional de Funcionalidade, Incapacidade e Saúde (CIF). Um estudo77. Chan SH, Yam KY, Yiu-Lau BP, Poon CY, Chan NN, Cheung HM, et al. Selective dorsal rhizotomy in Hong Kong: multidimensional outcome measures.

Em geral, a RDS é o procedimento de escolha para tratar a espasticidade de membros inferiores em crianças diplégicas,99. Steinbok P. Selective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy: a review. Childs Nerv Syst. 2007;23:981-90. uma vez que elas têm mais envolvimento de membros inferiores e a presença de distonia é pequena.99. Steinbok P. Selective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy: a review. Childs Nerv Syst. 2007;23:981-90. Já nas com quadriplegia espástica, com maior probabilidade de apresentar distonia e envolvimento, tanto de membros superiores quanto de inferiores, o tratamento com infusão contínua de baclofen intratecal é mais indicado,99. Steinbok P. Selective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy: a review. Childs Nerv Syst. 2007;23:981-90. embora alguns estudos tenham defendido o uso da RDS.77.

Steinbok P. Selective dorsal rhizotomy for spastic cerebral palsy: a review. Childs Nerv Syst. 2007;23:981-90. que inclui os níveis do GMFCS I, II e III. Entretanto, pesquisas têm utilizado RDS nos níveis IV e V com objetivos específicos e sugerem ser essa uma alternativa ao uso da infusão contínua de baclofen intratecal, uma vez que o manejo e acompanhamento da infusão são bastante complexos.2828.

A maioria dos estudos apresentou um percentual de secção próximo a 50% das raízes posteriores que variaram de L1 ou L2 até S1 ou S2. Uma metanálise demonstrou relação direta entre o percentual de secção e a magnitude do ganho na função, ou seja, a diminuição da espasticidade auxilia na aquisição de habilidades funcionais.11.

Características dos protocolos de fisioterapia

A Tabela 4 descreve as características dos protocolos de fisioterapia utilizados após a RDS, incluindo período de início da fisioterapia, tempo de internação e frequência. Tipicamente, os estudos mostram que, após serem submetidos à RDS, os pacientes realizam reabilitação fisioterapêutica intensiva com duração aproximada de um ano, iniciando nos primeiros dias após a cirurgia e permanecendo internados de seis dias a seis semanas.

Características dos protocolos de fisioterapia após rizotomia dorsal seletiva.

A metade dos estudos relata que, após o período de fisioterapia interna, diretrizes de tratamento específico foram enviadas para os terapeutas locais, tendo havido contato prévio com o terapeuta responsável para manter a continuidade do plano de tratamento.

Quanto ao programa de fisioterapia propriamente dito, na primeira semana após a RDS são realizadas mobilizações precoces de membros inferiores para a manutenção da amplitude de movimento e posicionamento, incluindo postura prona, supina e sentar com membros inferiores estendidos.55.

Conforme as mais recentes recomendações do National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) para o tratamento da espasticidade em crianças e adolescentes com desordens não progressivas do cérebro, um programa de fisioterapia específico é essencial após a abordagem clínica da espasticidade com RDS,3131.

CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS

Diversos estudos relatam o tratamento da espasticidade por meio da RDS associada à fisioterapia. De forma geral, os trabalhos salientam a importância da seleção adequada de pacientes para esse procedimento com equipe multidisciplinar, incluindo o fisioterapeuta. A principal indicação inclui pacientes deambuladores com diplegia espástica com objetivo de melhora da marcha e do padrão motor funcional. Além disso, há outra indicação menos frequente em pacientes com quadriplegia espástica, que deve incluir a clareza dos objetivos de posicionamento, controle da espasticidade, sentar, higiene e cuidados diários para a família e o paciente. É unânime o reconhecimento da fisioterapia pós-operatória intensiva e de longa duração (principalmente no primeiro ano pós-operatório), que deve necessariamente ter estratégias para modificar o antigo padrão motor.

Sugere-se a realização de novos estudos prospectivos, considerando seguimento a longo prazo, metodologia adequada com a descrição dos protocolos de reabilitação e a utilização de instrumentos de avaliação validados para análise tanto dos aspectos estáticos quanto funcionais e de qualidade de vida a fim de esclarecer se os critérios de indicação para a RDS e a reabilitação pós-operatória empregados no momento são adequados.

Assim, esta revisão da literatura mostrou que a fisioterapia tem papel atuante na reabilitação de pacientes com PC submetidos à RDS. Essa atuação ocorre desde a seleção inicial dos pacientes em conjunto com a equipe, nas avaliações pré e pós-operatórias, até a reabilitação. Esta revisão poderá auxiliar os profissionais da saúde no tratamento pós-RDS de pacientes com PC espástica bilateral.
