Fibroedema gelóide: atualidades na abordagem fisioterapêutica

Abstract

Objective: To describe the current physiotherapeutic treatments applied to Fibroedema Geloid. Methods: Integrative literature review, which is a study based on the directed synthesis of a research through bibliographic material aiming at practical applicability through data collection, critical analysis and discussion to expose the results obtained. The research was carried out in the Virtual Health Library (VHL) databases, in the MEDLINE and LILACS databases and in the Virtual Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) website and database. Results: Six articles were selected, one quantitative and interventionist research, one prospective study, two case studies, one comparative study and one experimental study, addressing current physiotherapeutic techniques on Fibroedema Geloid. The authors evidenced an effective improvement in the appearance of the skin in the gluteal region and posterior thigh. Considerations: There is evidence that physiotherapeutic procedures can decrease the EGF, showing improvement in skin relief, reduction in the degree of EGF and improvement in skin flaccidity.
