Summary: Introduction: The accumulation of fat in the abdomen region, besides being related to cardiovascular health and metabolic problems, has become a relevant aesthetic issue because it influences the psychosocial health of individuals. Objective: To evaluate the effects of Combined Therapy, through ultrasound and electrotherapy, on abdominal adiposity of women. Methods: This is a case study in which 9 women (30.33 ± 8.5 years) underwent 10 therapy sessions, 2 times / week, for 5 weeks. The evaluation of the treated area was performed through perimetry, plicometry and total body densitometry examinations before and after intervention. Results: The results of densitometry showed that the combination of ultrasound and electrotherapy reduced the abdominal fat percentage by 2.44 ± 2.31. Perimetry and plicometry showed reductions in waist circumference and supra-iliac and abdominal skinfolds. Conclusion: In this case study, intervention through combination therapy proved to be effective in reducing abdominal adiposity in women.

Objetivo: Avaliar os efeitos da Terapia Combinada, através de ultrassom e eletroterapia, na adiposidade abdominal de mulheres. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de casos no qual 9 mulheres (30,33±8,5 anos) foram submetidas a 10 sessões de terapia, 2 vezes/semana, durante 5 semanas. A avaliação da área tratada foi realizada através de perimetria, plicometria e exames de densitometria de corpo total pré e pós-intervenção. Resultados: Os resultados da densitometria mostraram que a combinação de ultrassom e eletroterapia reduziu o percentual de gordura da região abdominal em média 2,44±2,31. Pela perimetria e plicometria verificouse reduções da circunferência abdominal e das pregas cutâneas supra-ilíaca e abdominal. Conclusão: Neste estudo de casos a intervenção através de terapia combinada mostrou-se eficaz na redução da adiposidade abdominal de mulheres.Universidade Nove de Julho - UNINOVE2017-04-19info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/saude/article/view/667110.5585/conssaude.v15n4.6671ConScientiae Saúde; v. 15 n. 4 (2016); 665-6701983-93241677-1028reponame:Revista Conscientiae Saúde (Online)instname:Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)instacron:UNINOVEporhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/saude/article/view/6671/3443Copyright (c) 2016 ConScientiae Saúdeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Raíssa BiffGarcez, Valéria FerreiraLimana, Mirieli Denardi2020-09-25T20:24:20Zoai:ojs.periodicos.uninove.br:article/6671Revistahttps://periodicos.uninove.br/saude/indexPRIhttps://periodicos.uninove.br/saude/oaiconscientiaesaude@uninove.br || crismonteiro@uninove.br1983-93241677-1028opendoar:2020-09-25T20:24:20Revista Conscientiae Saúde (Online) - Universidade Nove de Julho (UNINOVE)false
