Interventions
We will select 40 patients for this research. They will be randomized and allocated in 2 groups: 1) Constraint Induced Movement Therapy with 20 patients and 2)Intensive Conventional Therapy with 20 pa
b) The joint movement that is believed to have potential for improvement
c) preference of the participant between tasks that have similar potential to produce specific improvements.
The training program is individualized and consists of 10-18 selected for the entire protoc

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Our hypotesis consists on: 1) The patients submitted to the CIT will achieve better results on gait performance when compared to the group that received only conventional therapy. The linear parameters are: speed, cadence, single support time on the affected side, step length, measured by tridimensional gait analysis. 2) The patients submitted to the CIT will achieve better results on balance scores (at least 3 points), measured through Mini-BESTest when compared to the group that received only conventional therapy. | — |
