Resumo(s)

Postural control, which involves stability and intersegmental orientation against gravity, is considered a prerequisite for movement to occur efficiently and in different contexts [1]. After central nervous system damage, individuals tend to demonstrate motor impairments, which can affect their functional ability in different activities, such as standing and walking [2]. These altered motor behaviours restrict voluntary, well-coordinated and effective movements, which in turn limit a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks [2]. Therefore, this study aimed at analysing the correlation between the orientation of the trunk and lower limbs of individuals after stroke during standing.
