Controle postural após treino de sedestação em indivíduos com acidente vascular cerebral agudo: estudo piloto

Abstract

Stroke is an important circulatory disorder, which the main manifestation is hemiplegia or hemiparesis, promoting body misalignment, disturbances in balance, loss of muscle strength, and, consequently, decreased autonomy and quality of life. Among several clinical situations, individuals who have suffered a stroke can benefit from physiotherapy and early sedestation. One way to assist in early sedestation is a device with base of polyvinyl chloride pipe (PVC) adapted from a chair called DASBEL (Auxiliary Device for Sedestation at the Bedside), which aims to keep the patient sitting on the bed in a prolonged period and with greater comfort. Therefore, this dissertation will be divided into two studies: Study 1- The title of the article is “Adaptation of a device for sedestation, its applicability and clinical-functional impacts: case series” and aims to adapt and implement the use of a functional device for sedestation at the bedside and evaluate its effects on clinical and functional aspects in two cases. This article will be submitted to the journal Physiotherapy (guidelines in annex 1), is in the journal's guidelines and will be translated into English after suggestions from the board. Study 2 - it is in a project format, the title is “Postural control after sedestation training in individuals with stroke”, with the objective of evaluating postural control through trunk performance and verticality after conventional physiotherapy with trunk control exercises associated with early sedestation in the PVC chair in patients with acute stroke
