Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Undergo assessment of muscle tone (Ashworth Scale), gait (BAIOBIT) and risk of falling (Timed Up and Go) before using the device; Use the device on the spastic lower limb(s) for 30 minutes; Go through the same assessment carried out previously.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Passive mobilization using a device

Intervention Type DEVICE

The protocol consists of three moments: initial assessment, use of the device, and final assessment.

In the initial assessment, participants will be positioned supine on a stretcher, where the muscle tone of the lower limb(s) will be tested using the Modified Ashworth Scale. After the physical test with the Modified Ashworth Scale, the TUG test will be carried out, and, finally, gait assessment with the BAIOBIT Inertial Meter with Accelerometer and Gyroscope.

At the end of the initial assessment, the Autofisio500 device will be used. To do this, the participant will be positioned again and comfortably supine on the stretcher, and the previously tested lower limb will be attached to the device for movement, between the knee and ankle joints, for 30 minutes, at maximum speed (11 RPM).

For the final assessment, the Modified Ashowrth Scale, TUG and gait assessment with the Inertial Meter with Accelerometer and BAIOBIT Gyroscope will be applied again.
