“…A particularly successful exercise program is the Fitness and Mobility Exercise protocol that has achieved significant improvement in muscle strength, balance, walking speed, cardiovascular fitness, and bone density [28]; however, questions concerning the optimal dose, frequency, duration, and therapeutic time window of exercise remain. Initial studies suggest that combining aerobic exercise with resistance training appears to be an effective means for improving poststroke cognition, including executive function [29].…”

Improved stroke care has resulted in greater survival, but >50 % of patients have chronic disabilities and 33 % are institutionalized. While stroke rehabilitation is helpful, recovery is limited and the most significant gains occur in the first 2-3 months. Stroke triggers an early wave of gene and protein changes, many of which are potentially beneficial for recovery. It is likely that these molecular changes are what subserve spontaneous recovery. Two interventions, aerobic exercise and environmental enrichment, have pleiotropic actions that influence many of the same molecular changes associated with stroke injury and subsequent spontaneous recovery. Enrichment paradigms have been used for decades in adult and neonatal animal models of brain injury and are now being adapted for use in the clinic. Aerobic exercise enhances motor recovery and helps reduce depression after stroke. While exercise attenuates many of the signs associated with normal aging (e.g., hippocampal atrophy), its ability to reverse cognitive impairments subsequent to stroke is less evident. It may be that stroke, like other diseases such as cancer, needs to use multimodal treatments that augment complimentary neurorestorative processes.

Virtual Rehabilitation (VR) refers to using Virtual Reality's hardware and simulations as means of exercising tools to rehabilitate patients in need. These patients will undergo their treatment exercises while playing different computer games, which helps achieve greater motivation for patients undergoing their therapeutic exercises. Virtual Rehabilitation systems adopt computer games as part of the treatment therapy. This paper present a preliminary proposal to use adaptive computer games in Virtual Rehabilitation therapy. We also present some tips in designing those adaptive computer games by use different machine learning algorithms in order to create a personalized experience for each patient, which in turn, increases the potential benefits of the treatment that each patient receives. Furthermore, we propose a method of comparing the results of treatment using the adaptive computer games with the results of using static and classical computer games.

“…O Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) é uma das doenças crônicas mais comuns em adultos e, a maioria dos sobreviventes deste evento, evolui com sequelas como alteração do tônus muscular, diminuição de força muscular, rigidez, alteração sensorial, obesidade e baixa tolerância ao exercício, gerando muitas vezes um estilo de vida sedentário, ou acentuando um estilo de vida prévio ao AVE (PANG et al, 2005;ELSAWY;HIGGINS, 2010;ENG, 2010;JORGENSEN et al, 2010).…”

RESUMO OBJETIVO:Avaliar o impacto que um programa de treinamento físico pode ter sobre a qualidade de vida e a funcionalidade em um grupo de pessoas que sofreram um acidente vascular encefálico. MÉTODOS: Este programa de condicionamento físico teve duração de quatro meses, entre fevereiro de 2013 e março de 2014 na unidade Ibirapuera da Associação de Assistência à Criança Deficiente (AACD), com frequência de duas vezes por semana, em dias não consecutivos, sessões de 1h20min, supervisionadas por um fisioterapeuta, sendo realizado treinamento aeróbico em esteira e/ou bicicleta ergométrica e fortalecimento com resistência para membros inferiores. Antes e após o programa foram aplicados o teste de caminhada de 6 minutos (TC6) e o questionário de qualidade de vida World Health Organization Quality of Life -Bref (WHOQOL-Bref). A análise estatística foi realizada pelo teste t Student e Kolmogorov-Smirnov. RESULTADOS: Participaram 8 pessoas com idade de 57,62 anos (±12,65), sendo 4 homens e 4 mulheres, que sofreram Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE) há 7,35 anos (±5,43). A maioria da amostra apresentava quadro de hipertensão arterial, uso de aditamentos para marcha e não realizavam atividade física prévia. Realizaram em média 25 sessões, aumentando o tempo de execução das atividades aeróbicas propostas, mantendo média de 58,21% (±8,83) da frequência cardíaca máxima predita para a idade, assim como tiveram aumento do número de repetições e carga dos exercícios resistidos para membros inferiores. O teste t Student pareado comparou os resultados do TC6 e do WHOQOL-Bref, não havendo diferença estatística entre a distância percorrida inicial e final ao programa, também não sendo observada diferença em relação aos dados do questionário de qualidade de vida. CONCLUSÃO: O atual estudo mostrou leve melhora da qualidade de vida de indivíduos que sofreram AVE após realizarem um programa de exercício físico, demonstrado pelo questionário de vida WHOQOL-Bref. Não foi observada diferença significativa dos valores do TC6 antes e após o programa.
