Background In walking rehabilitation trials, self-selected walking speed has emerged as the dominant outcome measure to assess walking ability. However, this measure cannot differentiate between recovery of impaired movement and compensation strategies. Spatiotemporal variables and asymmetry ratios are frequently used to quantify gait deviations and are hypothesized markers of recovery. Objectives The purpose of this review is to investigate spatiotemporal variables and asymmetry ratios as mechanistic recovery measures in physical therapy intervention studies post-stroke. Methods A systematic literature search was performed to identify physical therapy intervention studies with a statistically significant change in self-selected walking speed post intervention and concurrently collected spatiotemporal variables. Methodological quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration’s tool. Walking speed, spatiotemporal, and intervention data were extracted. Results 46 studies met the inclusion criteria, 41 of which reported raw spatiotemporal measures and 19 reported asymmetry ratio calculations. Study interventions included: aerobic training (n=2), functional electrical stimulation (n=5), hippotherapy (n=2), motor dual task training (n=2), multidimensional rehabilitation (n=4), robotics (n=4), sensory stimulation training (n=8), strength/resistance training (n=4), task specific locomotor rehabilitation (n=9), and visually guided training (n=6). Conclusions Spatiotemporal variables help describe gait deviations, but scale to speed, so consequently, may not be an independent factor in describing functional recovery and gains. Therefore, these variables are limited in explaining mechanistic changes involved in improving gait speed. Use of asymmetry measures provides additional information regarding the coordinative requirements for gait and can potentially indicate recovery. Additional laboratory-based mechanistic measures may be required to truly understand how walking speed improves.

Introdução: os efeitos do treinamento cardiovascular são potencializados quando realizados na piscina terapêutica devido às propriedades físicas da água. Objetivo: avaliar os efeitos de um protocolo de hidroterapia na qualidade de vida e no condicionamento cardiovascular de pacientes pós-AVE. Métodos: dez pacientes foram divididos nos grupos: controle (exposto ao protocolo de exercícios no solo) e experimental (submetidos a 10 sessões de hidroterapia). As medidas para frequência cardíaca e respiratória, o número de voltas, saturação de oxigênio durante o teste de caminhada de seis minutos e qualidade de vida segundo a escala EQVE-AVE, foram avaliadas antes e após o programa de atividades. Resultados: houve um aumento expressivo da quantidade de voltas [12,80 ± 2,78 (p=0,01) ] em ambos os grupos e dos escores para a qualidade de vida [196,20±42,92 (p=0,046) ] apenas no grupo experimental em relação a condição inicial. Conclusão: o protocolo de hidroterapia promoveu os mesmos efeitos do treinamento no solo sobre o condicionamento cardiovascular, no entanto, foi capaz de promover um aumento dos escores para qualidade de vida.
