“…Stroke (CVA) happens most frequently in males. 17,18 However, this study verified that the disease was predominant in females, as in the study by Reis et al 19 Although there are some stroke cases with younger people, there is a consensus among topical studies that the incidence of stroke increases progressively with age. 7,20 The average age of individuals afflicted reason, they need rehabilitation to improve their functional independence level.…”

Stroke is the leading cause of neurological disability and hemiparesis is its most common sequelae. The physical and functional limitations combined with the influence of environmental factors directly affect an individual's functionally. For an effective neurological rehabilitation, it is essential that physiotherapists know the patient's functional profile in order to plan the treatment to meet his/her real needs. Objective: To analyze the functional activities and influence of environmental factors in poststroke hemiparetic patients before and after physical therapy. Method: Twelve post-stroke hemiparetic patients were evaluated before and after 20 physical therapy sessions with the Barthel Index (BI) and an evaluation model based on an abbreviated core set of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) for stroke, based in the generic qualifiers system of the ICF. Results: There was significant improvement for the activities walk (d450) (p = 0.0033), dress (d540) (p = 0.018) and eat (d550) (p = 0.018) for the evaluation model based on the ICF. According to the BI, significant improvement was detected for the activities of feed (p = 0.0341), dress (p = 0.0277), toilet (p = 0.0117), and up/ down stairs (p = 0.0077). The environment factors immediate family and health professionals were the most positive influence on the health status of patients. Conclusion: Physical therapy was effective for improving the condition of patients since, according to the patients, some daily activities can be performed with more ease at the end of the physical therapy treatment. To meet their needs, it is important to develop an individual treatment plan, emphasizing the context in which he/she is inserted, in order to address the real limitations on activities and restrictions to participation.

“…The number of elderly citizens aged 60 or older in Brazil increased from 3 million in 1960 to 14 million in 2002. This growth is a result of the gradual increase in longevity, together with the reduction in natality and mortality rates (2,3). Projection performed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) pointed that until 2028, the Brazilian elderly population shall reach a total of over 38 million individuals aged older than 60 years old; that is, there will be an increase greater than double of today's elderly population (1).…”

Introduction Stroke (CVA) is a multifactorial disease, where the combination of risk factors may be associated with and contribute to its development. Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of risk factors for stroke in the physically independent elderly in the city of Londrina, Brazil. Materials and methods This study was composed of the elderly individuals participating in the EELO project (Age and Ageing Study, Londrina, State of Paraná, Brazil). In order to identify the risk factors for stroke, one used a structured questionnaire with information about socio-demographic and anthropometric data as well as lifestyle variables, such as physical inactivity and smoking, presence of comorbidities, and laboratory tests for diagnosis of diabetes and dyslipidemia. Results The study included 454 elderly with mean age of 69.7 years. There was a significant relationship between the number of risk factors and gender (p = 0.01), with higher prevalence among women. In separate analysis, the elderly between 60 and 69 years had a higher incidence of obesity (p = 0.03) and dyslipidemia (p = 0.04). Regarding gender, obesity (p = 0.01), smoking (p = 0.0001), vascular disease (p = 0.0001) and heart disease in the family (p = 0.01) higher incidence was shown in females, according toChi Square’s test. Conclusions It is concluded that elderly people aged less than 70 years and older women were those with the highest number of risk factors for CVA. Therefore, it may be suggested the development of primary care programs in order to promote information on the prevention of these risk factors and thus reduce the occurrence of stroke.

“…Salgado (2002) (GIACOMIN et al, 2008). O AVE é altamente prevalente no Brasil e está associado aos altos índices de morbidade, mortalidade e também de incapacidade, apresentando-se como um importante problema de saúde publica, pois além de gerar custo para o idoso e família, onera também o sistema de saúde pelos elevados custos financeiros de hospitalização e reabilitação (REIS et al, 2008). Castro et al (2009) reforça que o risco de AVE começa a aumentar após os 60 anos e dobra a cada década de vida, sendo que a hipertensão arterial se apresenta como o principal fator de risco modificável.…”
