Eligibility
Age
20 Years to 70 Years
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The participants will be selected according to the following criteria: diagnosis of the first episode of unilateral stroke (ischemic or hemorrhagic) that resulted in walking deficits; sequelae time equal to or greater than six months; age greater than 20 years and equal to or less than 70 years; ability to walk without personal assistance indoors (FAC scores equal to or greater than 3 (MEHRHOLZ et al., 2007); comfortable walking speed in the ground equal to or less than 0.9 m / s (limited community walkers), according to the classification proposed by Fulk and co-workers (2017); and ability to understand and obey simple motor commands.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Exclusion criteria will include: being in the gestational period; presenting instability in cardiac conditions (uncontrolled heart disease) and / or heart failure (New York Heart Association (NYHA) scores equal to or greater than 3 (REMME & SWEDBERG, 2001); other clinical conditions affecting walking; have severe pain and / or discomfort, which impedes the performance of the proposed activities; presented decompensations in the systemic arterial pressure, with systolic and diastolic values above, respectively, 200mmHg and 110mmHg before and / or after training (BALADY et al., 1998); and heart rate above the submaximal values allowed during training, maintained even after pauses, calculated using the formula [FCsub = 0.75 x (220-age)] (FOX III et al., 1971), where FCsub = submaximal heart rate.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome expected 1: Increased gait velocity, verified through ground walking test, comparing pre and post intervention data;Outcome expected 2: Improvement of functional capacity, verified by the increase of the distance covered in the 2-minute walk test, comparing pre and post-intervention data;Outcome expected 3: Improvement of cardiovascular parameters (reduction of blood pressure, reduction of heart rate and increase of oxygen saturation), verified using a sphygmomanometer and cardiofrequencymeter, comparing pre- and post-intervention data | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome expected 4: Increased neuromuscular torque, verified by means of evaluation with isokinetic dynamometry, with quadriceps torque increase bilaterally, comparing pre- and post-intervention data;Outcome expected 5: Improvement of the quality of life, verified through the increase of the scale of evaluation of quality of life in stroke (SSQoL), comparing pre- and post-intervention data | — |
