Walking Training With Partial Body Weight Support on Static and Dynamic Surfaces in Stroke Survivers
- Conditions
- Stroke
- Registration Number
- NCT02088255
- Lead Sponsor
- Universidade Cruzeiro do Sul
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is evaluate the effects of walking training with partial body weight support on static (floor) and dynamic (treadmill) surfaces in individuals with hemiparesis due to stroke. For this purpose, two training protocols will be employed in three experimental groups: G1 will do the walking training with partial body weight support on static surfaces and G2 will do the walking training with partial body weight support on dynamic surfaces

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change from Baseline in the gait velocity Baseline, immediately after and six weeks after training cessation. Speed at which subjects walked measured by the 10 meters test
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Distribution of body weight Baseline, immediately after and six weeks after training cessation. Body weight Distribution measured while subjects are in a static position on two force platforms.
Functional independence Baseline, immediately after and six weeks after training cessation. a score was assigned for each everyday activity, according to the amount of assistance required to perform it. Measured by a clinical scale (Functional Independence Measure Scale.
Lower limb recovery Baseline, immediately after and six weeks after training cessation. Measured by a clinical scale (Fulgy Meyer).
Endurance Baseline, immediately after and six weeks after training cessation. Measured by the 6 minutes walking test
