Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: As exclusion criteria: some unstable heart condition that can restrict your participation in a moderate exercise program (i.e. not considered suitable by the physician in charge); cognitive deficits and/or of language (aphasia of comprehension) severe when asked to answer commands simple engines, which can restrict your answer to follow instructions during the data collection and/or intervention; other relevant medical conditions that may affect your ability to walk, as vestibular disorders, severe osteoarthritis or other neurological conditions.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome 1 - Improve the rate of climb of stairs verified by a climbing stair test, with an increase of at least 10% between pre and post intervention and with 26 steps/minute of difference between the groups. ;Outcome 2 - Improve gait velocity vith difference of 0.14 m/s speed at 10 meter walk test between pre and post intervention.;Outcome 3 - Improve the motor pattern of the climb of stairs verified by qualitative kinematic evaluation scale of at least 10% between pre and post intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome 1 - Is expected a recruitment rate of more than 10%;Outcome 2 - Is expected a retention rate greater than 80%;Outcome 3 - Is expected a loss rate of less than 26%;Outcome 4 - Is expected training adhesion greater than 80%.;Outcome 5 - Is expected a tolerance to the planned intensity of the session is expected to be greater than 70%.;Outcome 6 - It is expected that after training individuals can increase at least1 point in the classification of stair climbing in the Functional Independence Measure (FIM).;Outcome 7 - It is expected that individuals improve the confidence level for climbing stairs without using the handrail in at least 10%.;Outcome 8 - It is expected in balance score measured by the Step Test with increase in the paretic lower limb of 1 additional touch in the step in relation to the pre and post intervention evaluations. ;Outcome 9 - It is expected that the time on the ladder climb is less than 0.36s / step after the training.;Outcome 1 -It is expected Increase of at least 0.16 m/s between pre and post-intervention evaluation in Walking speed measured by the 10-meter walk test. | — |
