Abstract

Background: Sit to stand is one of the functional tasks that may have been altered in post stroke hemiparetic patients. This transfer may have been altered affected by various extrinsic conditions, among them the position of the feet. Objective: systematize the knowledge about the influence of foot placement in the performance of standing up in post stroke hemiparetic patients. Method: a non systematic review in the period of March to September 2014 was performed, including original articles published from January 2002 to September 2014. Results: 35 articles were found, 8 met the inclusion criteria and were included, 6 of them of observational feature, 1 controlled biomechanical experiment and 1 randomized clinical trial. Conclusion: the findings suggest that the choice of foot position interferes in the standing up performance. This aspect should be considered for the evaluation and treatment, allowing the control of variables that interferes on the performance of this task.

Highlights

The Stroke is considered as a common cause for mobility reduction and deficit in the execution of daily activities.[1]
They frequently use the pattern of asymmetrical weight bearing during this movement and it takes more time to do so[3,4] and this transfer can be affected by various extrinsic conditions, among them the foot position.[6,8] Previous studies show that training of rising with the paretic foot posterior to the non paretic induced the gain in performance efficiency, functional mobility and balance when compared to the symmetric foot position.[9]
Thirty five articles that addressed the standing up motion in hemiparetic patients post stroke were found, 27 were excluded for they didn’t address the foot position relation with the performance of standing up in hemiparetic patients after stroke

Summary

Introduction

The Stroke is considered as a common cause for mobility reduction and deficit in the execution of daily activities.[1]. The task of sit to stand from a chair can be altered in hemiparetic patients They frequently use the pattern of asymmetrical weight bearing during this movement and it takes more time to do so[3,4] and this transfer can be affected by various extrinsic conditions, among them the foot position.[6,8] Previous studies show that training of rising with the paretic foot posterior to the non paretic (non stricken) induced the gain in performance efficiency, functional mobility and balance when compared to the symmetric foot position.[9]. The purpose of this paper is to systematize the knowledge about the influence of foot position in the performance of standing up in hemiparetic patients post stroke. Sit to stand is one of the functional tasks that may have been altered in post stroke hemiparetic patients This transfer may have been altered affected by various extrinsic conditions, among them the position of the feet.
