Abstract(s)
Este relatório é o culminar do estágio que o aluno realizou no Hospital Veterinário da
Arrábida (HVA) e no Centro de Reabilitação Animal da Arrábida (CRAA). O presente estágio
teve duração de cerca de três meses. Com a realização deste estágio o aluno pretendeu
desenvolver competências, pondo em prática conhecimentos anteriormente adquiridos. O
estagiário participou ativamente em diversas áreas de atuação, nomeadamente em cirurgia,
hospitalização, reabilitação, acompanhamento em consultas e análises clínicas. O aluno
acompanhou inúmeros casos, dando especial atenção a casos de lesão do plexo braquial, tema
escolhido para a elaboração do presente relatório. A lesão do plexo braquial é geralmente
causada por um trauma, que envolve tração do membro torácico devido a forças no mesmo,
provocando lesões nas raízes nervosas. A lesão mais frequente é a avulsão do plexo braquial,
sendo a sua principal causa traumática, principalmente através de atropelamentos ou quedas de
alturas. Não existe um tratamento protocolizado, sendo a única terapêutica viável o recurso a
terapia conservativa. Esta terapia tem como foco a reabilitação funcional, de proteção e suporte
do membro lesionado e maneio da dor, essencialmente de origem neuropática. O cão doente
em estudo, realizou tratamento com abordagem conservativa, no qual se recorreu a planos de
reabilitação, onde se incluiu modalidades de reabilitação tais como a Eletroestimulação funcional,
Laserterapia de classe IV e a Ultrassonografia, para além do treino locomotor composto por
exercícios de Cinesioterapia e estimulação da marcha, através de tapete rolante terrestre e
aquático. Relativamente à área do tema desenvolvido, o aluno aprofundou e relembrou
conceitos, adquiriu novos conhecimentos e competências práticas úteis na área da reabilitação.
O presente relatório tem como objetivo final apresentar dados que comprovem a importância
da reabilitação em casos de lesão do plexo braquial.
This report is the culmination of the internship carried out at the Hospital Veterinário da Arrábida (HVA) and at the Centro de Reabilitação Animal da Arrábida (CRAA). This internship lasted for about three months. With the completion of this internship the student intends to develop skills, putting into practice previously acquired knowledge. The intern actively participated in several areas of activity, namely in surgery, hospitalization, rehabilitation, follow up in consultations and clinical analyzes. The student followed numerous cases, paying special attention to cases of brachial plexus injury, the theme chosen for the preparation of this report. The injury to the brachial plexus is usually caused by trauma, which involves traction of the thoracic limb due to forces in it, causing damage to the nerve roots. The most frequent injury is avulsion of the brachial plexus, in which traumatic injury is the main cause, especially pedestrian accidents or falls from heights. There is no protocolized treatment, and the only viable therapy is the use of conservative therapy. This therapy focuses on functional rehabilitation, protection and support of the injured limb and pain management, essentially of neuropathic origin. The sick dog in the study underwent treatment with a conservative approach, using rehabilitation plans, which included rehabilitation modalities such as functional electrostimulation, class IV laser therapy and ultrasound, in addition to locomotor training consisting of kinesiotherapy exercises, gait on land and water treadmill. In relation to the developed theme, the student deepened and recalled concepts, acquired new knowledge and practical skills useful in the area of rehabilitation. This report aims to present data that prove the importance of rehabilitation in cases of brachial plexus injury.
