ABSTRACT

O suporte parcial de peso (SPP) foi utilizado pela primeira vez em âmbitos clínicos nos anos 80. Acredita-se que essa terapia promova melhora da marcha em pacientes com seqüela de Acidente Vascular Encefálico (AVE). Investigamos a importância do treino de marcha na esteira elétrica com SPP nesses pacientes. Sete pacientes com diagnóstico clínico de hemiparesia ou hemiplegia foram submetidos aleatoriamente a um protocolo de treinamento em esteira elétrica em SPP (Experimental, n = 4), ou ao tratamento tradicional sem SPP (Controle, n = 3) por 20 sessões, para avaliar o equilíbrio. Observou-se melhora estatisticamente significante no equilíbrio avaliado pela escala de BERG no Grupo Experimental (p = 0,003). Mais estudos são necessários para elucidar os resultados obtidos...


The Body Weight Support (BWS) was used for the first time in clinical studies by the 80s. It is believed that this therapy promotes improvement of gait in patients with Stroke sequel. We investigated the importance of gait training in treadmill with BWS in those patients. Seven patient with clinical diagnosis of hemiparesis or hemiplegia were randomly submitted toa treadmill training protocol with BWS, (Experimental, n=4), or to traditional approach without BWS (Control, n=3) for 20 sessions to balance evaluation. The balance evaluation by BERG scale showed significant improves on experimental group (p = 0,003). Further investigations should be conducted in order to elucidate those data obtained...
