[Osteomyoarticular injuries in a physical conditioning program].
From the follow-up of one hundred and thirty patients in a physical conditioning program during the period of one year, partially disabling lesions with preliminary complaints were observed at the beginning of the program in thirteen patients, and lesions during the development of the program were observed in nineteen patients. Within the first group, four patients had to quit the program, two temporarily and two definitively. In the second group, five patients had to interrupt the program for periods varying from twenty days to two months. In both groups, treatment involving physical agents, kinesiotherapy and drugs was proposed. Interruptions in the physical conditioning program for periods longer than three weeks imply in considerable reduction of the cardiovascular benefits. The clinician must be aware of the fact that sedentary patients have not only cardiovascular, but also musculoskeletal deconditioning. These patients must be evaluated by the physiatrist in order that the disabling lesions be avoided and treated.
