Inclusion Criteria
We included individuals who had right hemiparesis and submit between 50 and 65 years of age. The control group, the individuals selected were healthy, aged 50-65 years and handed to greater reliability of the research.
Exclusion Criteria
We excluded individuals unable to walk or use any means to help or even showing any disturbance that influences the balance, vestibular and neurological disorders and deformities, unstructured, have good cognitive control and have left hemiparesis.

Name Time Method Regarding the parameters of linear motion between the groups analyzed, the average total distance traveled (DTP) was 14.52 m for the stroke group and 32.16 m for the control group (p <0.0001) and was 23,75s in the stroke group and 19.02 in the control group (p <0.0001). To analyze these variables was used Nagasaki Protocol (1994)[at one year after randomisation];The variables consist of linear parameters of gait, the average score for the stroke group for the average step length (SL) was 0.45, Cadence (CAD) and 1.0 speed (VEL) 0.65 m / s while in the control group had an average of 1.05 for SL, 1.03 for CAD and 1.69 m / s for VEL. Only the values of SL and VEL were statistically significant (p <0.0001), whereas CAD was not significant compared between groups (p = 0.1932). To analyze these variables was used Nagasaki Protocol (1994)[at one year after randomisation]
