Alterações na cinemática angular da marcha hemiparética de pacientes após ave durante a execução de dupla tarefa

Abstract

Goal: to evaluate the alterations in the angular kinematics of hemiparetic gait of patients post-EVA, in the execution of dual task. Methods: Took part 11 individuals adults and elderly registered in CECLIN-UCS, residents in Serra Gaúcha, 6 patients from the knee flexor group, and 5 from the knee extensor group. Firstly, simple tasks were performed: simple gait (motor task) and verbal fluency task (cognitive task). Next, was performed the dual task, the gait simultaneously with the cognitive task. For the evaluation of the gait, it was used a system of tridimensional gait trajectory capture and the studied variables were speed, cadence, hip flexion, hip extension, knee flexion, and knee extension. For the result analysis, it was used descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon test (p<0,05). Results: Decline was observed in the performance of the gait in the dual task in comparison with the simple task, with significant values for speed (p=0,046; p=0,042), cadence (p=0,046; p=0,043) and hip flexion (p=0,028; p=0,043). Conclusion: The dual task interferes with the linear and angular variables of the gait and worsens the pathological patterns of the patients gait. [resumo fornecido pelo autor]
