Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| to show improvement in performance (time, muscle activation, symmetry of weight transfer in the MIP) in the sit-to-stand transfer of the patients of the experimental group in relation to the patients of the control group through the analysis of ground vertical reaction force performed with force platform, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To understand the muscular activation and difference of weight discharge between the lower limbs of hemiparetic patients during the passage from sitting to standing, through the analysis with surface electromyography of the rectus femoris and biceps femoris muscles, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements. | — |
