Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Randomised clinical trial (RCT) will be held in following the recommendations of the CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials). This RCT have longitudinal and prospective feature, held at the Neurosciences Clinic located at the Clinic Professor Francisco Magalhães Neto the HUPES Complex / Federal University of Bahia from June 2015 until June 2016.

In the initial evaluation were obtained by a trained examiner and blinded to the allocation of participants, all personal data of all patients, as well as evaluations of balance and quality of life through specific validated scales:

1\. Fugl Meyer scale (FMS);

The investigators employ an experimental program of therapeutic exercises for the PNF method and virtual rehabilitation with NW, for a period of two months, with sessions two times a week for 50 minutes (a total of 16 sessions).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Virtual Rehabilitation

A virtual rehabilitation program (G0) based on the use of the NW for a period of two months, with sessions two times a week for 50 minutes (a total of 16 sessions).All treatment groups prior to perform the study interventions,stretches of upper and lower limbs for 10 minutes.

The G0 treatment program consists of the following protocols: a) protocol 1 games (Balance Bubble Plus and Tennis); b) protocol 2 games (Rhythm Parade and Boxing).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Virtual Rehabilitation

Intervention Type OTHER

It is the use of the NW games for rehabilitation of balance in post-stroke patients.

PNF Method

A program of therapeutic exercises (G1) based on the PNF method for a period of two months, with sessions two times a week for 50 minutes (a total of 16 sessions).All treatment groups prior to perform the study interventions,stretches of upper and lower limbs for 10 minutes. The G1 treatment program consists of the following protocols: a) protocol 1 : 30 minutes diagonal exercise upper limb (flexion-abduction-external rotation and extension-abduction-internal rotation), and 10 minutes diagonal exercise scapula (anterior and posterior elevation); b) protocol 2: 20 minutes diagonal exercise lower limb (flexion-abduction-external rotation and flexion-abduction-internal rotation),10 minutes diagonal exercise pelvis (anterior and posterior depression), and 10 minutes gait cycle training;

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PNF Method

Intervention Type OTHER

It is the use of the therapeutic exercises based on the PNF diagonals for rehabilitation of balance in post-stroke patients.

Virtual Rehabilitation and PNF Method

In G2 program will be performed 20 minutes G0 protocol (1 or 2, used alternately between sessions a week) and 20 minutes G1 protocol (1 or 2, used alternately between sessions a week), taking the time of the performed activities halved in both protocols.
