AVALIAÇÃO DO COMPORTAMENTO CARDIOVASCULAR, DA MOBILIDADE FUNCIONAL E MARCHA DE HEMIPARÉTICO CRÔNICO EM ESTEIRA ERGOMÉTRICA

Abstract

The aim of this study was to evaluate the cardiovascular behavior, functional mobility and gait of a chronic hemiparetic individual subjected to an aerobic training protocol on a treadmill without body weight support. Case study with a chronic hemiparetic individual assessed by the Timed Up and Go (TUG), Walking Speed Test 10 m (TV10M) and Stress Testing (TES). It underwent a training protocol on a treadmill 30 min divided into three 10-min blocks each, with rest intervals, at a speed of 60% of that obtained in TES. was not observed change in behavior of the heart rate and blood pressure during the treatment, however there was improvement in TUG (AV1 = 12.53 sec; AV2 = 9.39 sec) and TV10M (AV1 = 9.00 sec ; AV2 = 7.03 sec). The results showed that the protocol used was not sufficient to alter the cardiovascular condition of a chronic hemiparetic individual subjected to aerobic training protocol on a treadmill without body weight support, but improved functional motor condition.
