To correlate spiritual/religious coping and functional capacity in hemiparetics submitted to Group Physiotherapy in Circuit Format (GPCF). Cross-sectional study with 8 chronic hemiparetic patients in GPCF. At first, the initial evaluation was applied and after 8-weeks intervention, following CRE-brief and Timed Up and Go (TUG). There was no correlation between the CRE-brief questionnaire with TUG (r=-0.618 and p=0.102), but the effect size showed a large clinical effect (0.94). The GPCF did not promote improvement in functional capacity at the end of 8-weeks intervention and no significant correlation between CRE-brief and TUG. However, it was demonstrated positive effect in fighting of the disease and a great clinical effect among the applied evaluations.
