Addition of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation to Cardio Respiratory Training Post Stroke

Sponsor: Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte

Summary

Post-stroke hemiparesis causes sequelae in the limbs and also in the trunk and abdomen structures. The level of physical activity decreases and cardiorespiratory training(CRT) is indicated to this population to improve the functions of several systems (respiratory, cardiovascular, muscular). The application of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facility(PNF) would imply in the awareness and greater harmony of the functions performed by the trunk of this individual. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of respiratory and trunk characteristics of the PNF associated with Cardiorespiratory training in quality of life, gait, distance traveled, peak oxygen consumption, respiratory muscle strength, thoracic cavity volumes, mobility and diaphragmatic thickness of individuals with post stroke.
