Introduction: Individuals who have had a stroke generally exhibit low levels of physical activity but high levels of sedentary behavior, regardless of the post-stroke phase. These movement behaviors can impact the cardiovascular system of these individuals, increasing the likelihood of new cerebrovascular events. Previous studies by our group have shown that serum concentrations of biomar…
Introduction: Post-stroke individuals exhibit a concerning pattern of physical inactivity and increased sedentary behavior, as they engage in limited walking and spend extended periods of the day seated, thereby elevating the risk of developing various health problems, including new stroke episodes. Multimodal circuit training has been recommended by guidelines to enhance the mobility of …
Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) in microgravity environment may reduce brain compliance and impair compensatory brain mechanisms, causing decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF). Thus, brain functions may be affected, making this phenomenon worrisome to astronauts, especially in interplanetary and long-duration missions. The ICP elevation is usually due to fluid displacement from the lo…
Post-stroke disability leads to a sedentary lifestyle, increasing the risk of developing a new cerebrovascular and/or cardiac events. Arterial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathophysiology of these events. Endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness and autonomic nervous system dysfunction are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, morbidity and mortality. …
Stroke is considered the mainly cause of disability in the world. One of the most important complaints of individuals post-stroke is the upper limp disability. The taskspecific training is largerly used by the rehabilitation team to treat post-stroke subjects. However the molecular mechanisms involved on skeletal muscle adaptation due to task specific training remain unknown. Thus, the …

Statistical problems in the analysis, reporting, and interpretation of the results of randomized controlled clinical trials (RCCTs) are common in the biomedical literature, including in rehabilitation studies. Such problems can lead to inappropriate conclusions about the effects of the respective therapeutic interventions, which can not only affect clinical practice and health services in…
Stroke has a major economic impact on the Brazilian Unified Health System due to disabilities, limitations, and social restrictions that increase the likelihood of these individuals being readmitted and impact their quality of life. The field of rehabilitation is essential to assist these individuals in their functionality and reintegration into society. The literature shows that low leve…
Introduction: Individuals who have had a Stroke typically exhibit low levels of physical activity but high levels of sedentary behavior, regardless of the post-stroke phase. These movement behaviors can impact the cardiovascular system of these individuals, increasing the likelihood of recurrent cerebrovascular events.

Introduction: Post-stroke individuals follow a worried pattern of physical inactivity, as they walk less than necessary and spend long periods of the day seated, increasing the risk of developing numerous health problems, such as new stroke episodes. Multimodal circuit training has been recommended by guidelines to improve mobility in this population. This type of exercise provides streng…
Man's trip to the moon was one of the most awaited moments for mankind, and we are getting to the next step: the trip to Mars. From this, there are several studies about the effects that microgravity can have on the astronaut's body. Due to the change in the hydrostatic gradient of space in relation to the Earth, the human body undergoes a displacement of fluids in which there is a decrea…

Background: Monitoring physical activity for stroke survivors is widely recommended by clinical guidelines to ensure appropriate exercise intensity, aiding rehabilitation and motivation. Despite its importance, studies report barriers to effective monitoring, with the lack of suitable equipment being the most common issue. While physiotherapists have noted these challenges, the perspectiv…
Stroke is a leading cause of death and acquired in adults. It is considered a neurological deficit caused by an acute focal injury to the Central Nervous System (CNS). Stroke causes neuronal death, and leads to dysfunction in motor activities, as in the case of the upper limbs, where there is a limitation in reaching and grasping objects, making Activities of Daily Living (ADL) difficult.…
Dementia is a very impactful disease that is present all over the world. It causes functional dependence and lower quality of life in affected individuals. The main hypothesis of its cause is the accumulation of cortical amyloid beta plaque and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles in the neurons, leading to loss of synapses, neurons death and brain atrophy. This scenario affects brain el…
The current project was designed to determine differences between chronic hemiparetics and healthy control with respect to spatiotemporal and kinematic variables, temporal patterns of muscle activity, muscle activation and coactivation during two functional tasks (reaching and drinking a glass of water), considering motion features and applying Statistical Parametric Mapping (SPM) analysi…
