- Abstract
Introduction: After abdominoplasty postural changes can be found and the Global Posture Reeducation (GPR) may be a treatment option. Objective: To evaluate the influence of RPG on posture, body satisfaction and quality of life in post abdominoplasty. Methods: Physical therapy evaluation before and after intervention with photographic record to assess the posture was performed by software of posture evaluation (SAPO), questionnaire collection of body satisfaction (Body Shape Questionnaire - BSQ) and questionnaire of quality of life using the WHOQOL-BREF. Ten GPR sessions were held once a week, lasting about 60 minutes each session. Results: There was improvement with the protrusion of the shoulder and lateral bending of the head, slight decrease in rib cage forward projection and elevation, and increased thoracic kyphosis and pelvic anteversion, without changes in corporal satisfaction and quality of life. Conclusion: The GPR intervention exerted a slight influence on posture and did not interfere in corporal satisfaction and quality of life.
