RESUMO

After stroke, most of the different resources for the paretic upper limb (UL) rehabilitation are effective for patients with mild to moderate motor impairment. Treatments for patients with severe motor impairment little is known about the benefits of these interventions. Also, severely impaired patients show little changes in motor performance for achieve unilateral tasks with the paretic UL. However to become more functional, patients with severe arm paresis can use de paretic UL to stabilizing actions during functional bilateral tasks. This study aimed to assess the effect of progressive bilateral functional training in the recovery of bilateral UL function in individuals with chronic hemiparesis and severe motor impairment compared to conventional physiotherapy. It is characterized randomized controlled clinical trial that included 16 adult patients (55.3 11.6 years) with 8 patients in the experimental group (EG) (Fugl-Meyer UL = 16 5.8) with training for the UL bilateral functional tasks with a systematic method of progression and 8 patients in the control group (CG) (Fugl-Meyer UL= 13 5.0) conventional training for UL. Both groups received the same intensity of intervention, ten days, with 60 minutes each session. The assessments were divided into before starting the training (PRE), immediately after intervention (POS) and two weeks after the intervention (Follow-up). The Test instrument Arm Bilateral Functional Test (ABIT) significant effect of time (p = 0.02) and group (p <0.01), with no interaction between time and group significant. The comparison in pairs showed that the value of POS was higher than in the total result for PRE TEBIM (p = 0.01). Subscales of the TEBIM bilateral manipulative tasks and tasks asymmetrical bilateral, significant effect of time (p = 0.05 and p = 0.03 respectively) and group (p <0.01 and p <0.01 respectively). The scores of manipulative tasks were higher in the posttest compared to pretest (p = 0.05) and higher in EG compared to controls (p = 0.02). In asymmetrical tasks of GE scores were higher than those of both the GC and post-test follow-up (respectively p = 0.02 and p = 0.003). For symmetrical bilateral tasks there was no significant effect of time or group.Secondary outcome measures in the Motor Activity Log (MAL) was no statistically significant time (p <0.01) for the amount of use with the POST and the mean follow-up greater than in PRE (both p <0.01), whereas Fugl-Meyer- UL had no significant effect of time or group. It follows the patient with chronic hemiparesis severe motor impairment for MS can benefit from task-oriented training for the bilateral upper limbs following parameters of progression in the tasks, gain of function compared with conventional physiotherapy bilateral.
