Resumo

O uso de compressas quentes é uma estratégia de termoterapia superficial amplamente utilizada e um de seus benefícios é o aumento da flexibilidade muscular. Porém, existem poucas informações sobre os efeitos das compressas quentes, quando não associadas a outras intervenções terapêuticas, na flexibilidade da região lombar. O objetivo do seguinte trabalho foi comparar os efeitos gerados pela aplicação de três tipos diferentes de compressas quentes na flexibilidade da região lombar de estudantes saudáveis. Três sessões de 15 minutos de calor superficial aplicado através de compressas quentes (compressa úmida quente, compressa de sementes e compressa de gel). A temperatura da compressa e da região lombar e a ocorrência de eritema foram registradas a cada 5 minutos. O teste de Schober foi realizado antes da primeira e após a última sessão. Após 15 minutos de tratamento, a compressa de sementes apresentou maior temperatura final. No mesmo período, a menor temperatura lombar foi obtida pela compressa de gel. O tratamento com os três tipos de compressa aumentou a ocorrência de eritema e causou aumento significativo da flexibilidade da região lombar avaliada pelo teste de Schober. Existem diferenças significativas no efeito gerado pelos três tipos de compressas quentes sobre a flexibilidade da região lombar. A compressa úmida quente proporcionou maior transferência de calor para a região lombar e propiciou um aumento mais pronunciado da flexibilidade da região lombar.
