Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Evaluate the maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressure values, verified by manovacuometry. It is expected to find an increase in respiratory muscle strength, indicated by an increase in pressure values, in cmH2O.;Outcome found 1: Increase in the values of maximum expiratory pressure was observed, in cmH2O, indicating an improvement in expiratory muscle strength, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the measurements.;Expected outcome 2: Evaluate the peak values of expiratory flow, verified by the Peak Flow Meter. It is expected to find an improvement in the peak expiratory flow, indicated by the increase in values, in l / min.;Outcome found 2: Increase in peak expiratory values was observed, in l / min, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the measurements.;Expected outcome 3: Evaluate quality of life using the Specific Quality of Life Scale for AVE (EQVE-AVE). It is expected to find an improvement in the quality of life by increasing the numerical values obtained on the scale.;Outcome found 3: Improvement in quality of life was observed, with an increase in the numerical values obtained in the Specific Quality of Life Scale for AVE (EQVE-AVE), from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the measurements.;Expected outcome 4: Evaluate trunk impairment using the Trunk Compromise Scale. It is expected to find a decrease in trunk impairment by increasing the numerical values obtained on the scale.;Outcome found 4: Improvement in trunk impairment was observed, with an increase in the numerical values obtained in the Trunk Compromise Scale, from the observation of a variation of at least 5% in the measurements. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Expected outcome 1: Evaluate the improvement of the trunk impairment, through the self-report of the individual with Stroke, after questioning how he feels in relation to the trunk control, answering yes or no.;Outcome found 1: Improvement of self-reported trunk control by individuals with stroke, even after the first intervention session, with all answers yes. | — |
