Summary

The aim of this study is the development and the implementation of a new protocol about home-based exercises, supported by an illustrated manual, for the treatment of individuals with stroke.

The hypothesis is that this group of patients who are going to carry out the training of this study protocol are going to show improvement in measured parameters (functionality and physical performance), which allows this protocol to be improved and published as a proposal of physiotherapeutic treatment.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

home-based group (HBG)

Participants in the home-based group (HBG) were advised to exercise, a minimum of 4 times per week, but they were encouraged to exercise a total of 5-7 days per week. After individual assessment, a group of home-exercise selected of the manual was explained and performed one by one. The home-exercises were re-executed at each fortnightly visit, when necessary corrections were made and the next step stipulated by manual was taken, according to the patient's progress.

BEHAVIORAL

supervised exercise group (SEG)

Patients in the supervised exercise training group (SEG) participated in supervised individual exercise sessions 2 times per week. A physical therapist supervised these sessions. Exercise sessions included: 30 minutes of global exercises that involved stretching, range of motion, muscle strengthen and another 30 minutes of functional training (gait, balance and use of the arm in daily activities).
