“…Thus, the use of this variable allows objective comparisons between groups and reduces the typical variability of the results in this population, which facilitates the interpretation of the findings 33 . However, the variability of the results still remained high, but this finding seems common with this population, when motor and functional parameters are investigated 8,11,34,35 .…”

“…These findings could be partially explained by the fact that the included individuals had chronic hemiparesis and were probably already functionally adapted and did not demonstrate major respiratory strength deficits 11 . However, Sutbeyaz et al 32 showed that a six-week strengthening program of the inspiratory muscles was able to increase exercise capacity, decrease dyspnea, and improve the quality of life in individuals with hemiparesis who demonstrated greater respiratory strength deficits.…”

“…Previous studies have reported decreased respiratory strength in individuals during both the acute and chronic post-stroke stages [9][10][11][12] . Within this context, weaknesses of the respiratory muscles and changes in the thoraco-abdominal motion could be related to decreased tidal volumes, and consequently, lower exercise tolerance, as observed in healthy individuals 13 .…”

| Background: The assessment of strength and its relationships with functional capacity could contribute to more specific and effective disability management of stroke survivors. Objective: To compare and investigate associations between measures of strength and functional capacity of 98 chronic stroke survivors, stratified into three groups, according to their physical activity levels. Method: The physical activity levels were classified as impaired, moderately active, and active, based on their Human Activity Profile (HAP) scores. Strength was assessed by the maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures and by the residual deficits (RDs) of work of the lower limb and trunk muscles, whereas functional capacity was evaluated by the distance covered during the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Results: One-way analyses of variance revealed significant differences between the groups, except between the active and moderately active groups regarding the RDS of the hip and knee flexors/extensors and ankle dorsiflexors (2.91

“…Wang et al (2005) afirmam que, sendo os músculos abdominais a base fundamental para o controle postural normal, pode-se afirmar que a chave da reabilitação do paciente hemiplégico/ hemiparético está no restabelecimento da função normal dessa musculatura. Dentro da cinesioterapia, a Fisioterapia dispõe de exercícios específicos que visam à readequação da função do tronco, o que também aumenta a eficiência dos músculos respiratórios e auxilia o mecanismo fisiológico da bomba ventilatória (PAULIN, 2002;TEIXEIRA-SALMELA et al, 2005).…”

“…Sabe-se que indivíduos hemiplégicos/ hemiparéticos apresentam fragilidade e baixa resistência durante exercícios e podem ter a função respiratória prejudicada como consequência da fraqueza muscular, além de disfunções posturais e mobilidade reduzida do tronco (TEIXEIRA-SALMELA et al, 2005).…”

ResumoO acidente vascular encefálico (AVE) tem grande impacto sobre a saúde da população. A hemiparesia é um dos sinais clínicos mais óbvios da doença e os indivíduos acometidos apresentam tendência em manter-se em uma posição de assimetria postural, com função respiratória prejudicada. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de um Programa de Reabilitação na independência funcional, qualidade de vida, força muscular respiratória e mobilidade torácica em pacientes hemiparéticos, após AVE. Participaram do estudo quatro indivíduos hemiparéticos, com idades entre 53 e 78 anos. Para a mensuração das variáveis, foram utilizadas as Escalas PASS e IBm, o questionário SF-36, e testes específicos de manovacuometria e cirtometria. Após a avaliação inicial, foi aplicado um Programa de Reabilitação do Tronco, com duração de 50 minutos. Ao término de 20 sessões, todos os indivíduos foram reavaliados, utilizando-se os mesmos instrumentos. Não foram encontrados resultados estatisticamente significantes (p > 0,05), porém se observou melhora nos índices de independência funcional, qualidade de vida, força muscular respiratória e mobilidade torácica. Sugere-se que a aplicação de exercícios, direcionados ao restabelecimento da função do tronco, em um programa de reabilitação para o indivíduo hemiparético é satisfatória. Faz-se necessária a realização de novos estudos com uma amostra maior. Palavras-chave: AVE. Hemiparesia. Independência funcional. Qualidade de vida. Força muscular respiratória. AbstractStroke has a major impact on public health. Hemiplegia is one of the most obvious clinical signs of the disease, and individuals tend to keep themselves in an asymmetric postural position, with impaired respiratory function. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a rehabilitation project on functional independence, quality of life, respiratory muscle strength and mobility chest in hemiplegic patients. The study was based on four hemiplegic subjects, aged between 53 and 78 years. Outcomes
