Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Individuals who agree to participate in the study's free and spontaneous will, thus signing the Informed Consent Form (TCLE) (Appendix 2), should present a clinical diagnosis of stroke, whether ischemic or hemorrhagic, in the chronic phase, considering six months post-stroke; will need to present a medical release that will be granted by your primary physicians to perform aerobic exercises; should present unilateral motor impairment and absence of cognitive deficit, this evaluated through the Mini Mental State Examination (MEEN), obtaining a score between 23 or higher (LYONS et al., 2012).
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Individuals who present recent symptoms of hospitalization due to myocardial infarction, chest discomfort, musculoskeletal problems of other conditions other than the sequela of stroke, which limit the ability to exercise, will be excluded from the study; or present other neurological disorders besides stroke.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Motor performance: They will be used as motor performance measures: the number of hits, number of errors, sequence number that reached performance, hit percentage, score, early hits and average reaction time (Table 1). The equipment used to evaluate this outcome will be Player Feedback, has the medium density fiberboard (MDF) structure three millimeters thick, eighty centimeters long, and sixty centimeters tall. It has five circuits with sets of eight Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and capacitive sensor responsible for receiving the input signal. These circuits are controlled by the Atmega 328 microcontroller which has 16 I/O digital ports (input/output) making them light and erase in a predetermined sequence at different speeds. Number of correct answers - Corresponds to the amount of correct answers that the patient infected in the performance of the experiment; Number of errors - Corresponds to the amount of errors that the patient infected in the performance of the experiment; Number of the sequence that reached the learning Corresponds the indication of the first sequence in which the patient began to hit consecutively; Percentage of correct answers - Corresponds to the percentage of the correct answers achieved by the patient in the performance of the experiment; Score - Corresponds to the patient's final score, in which the faster and lower errors, the higher their score; Early Hits - Corresponds to the hits that were advanced by the patient, meaning the learning of the order that the circuits light up; Mean reaction time - Corresponds to the arithmetic mean of response time to the visual stimulus of each circuit during the experiment. | — |

| Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the upper limb will be verified through the Nottingham Sensory Assessment. The instrument aims to identify post-stroke sensory deficits and monitor its recovery. It is an instrument for evaluating prototic and epicritical sensory modalities (LIMA et al., 2010).;Cognition: The cognitive status of the participants will be evaluated by the Mini Mental State Examination (EMSe). Divided into two parts, one that covers orientation, memory and attention, with a maximum score of 21 points and, another that addresses specific skills such as naming and understanding, with a maximum score of 9 points, totaling a score of 30 points. (FOSTEIN et al., 1975). The score <13 for illiterate, 18 for low and middle schooling and 23 for high schooling will be considered to identify cognitive deficits.;Motor impairment will be evaluated by the motor subsection of the upper limb of the Fugl-Meyer physical performance scale (FM), which seeks to identify selective activity and synergistic movement patterns and motion amplitude domains joint, pain and sensitivity. The data is scored on an ordinal scale of 3 (0 = no performance; 2 = full performance) applied to each item (MAKI et al., 2006). | — |
