Resumo(s)
O Acidente Vascular Cerebral é uma das principais causas de incapacidade, resultando em limitações motoras, sensoriais, cognitivas e percetivas que comprometem a autonomia. A avaliação funcional é fundamental para orientar a reabilitação, sendo os testes Five Times Sit-to-Stand e 30-Second Sit-to-Stand ferramentas válidas e úteis na prática clínica. Este estudo teve como objetivos analisar o desempenho de sobreviventes de Acidente Vascular Cerebral crónico nos respetivos testes, explorar associações com características clínicas e sociodemográficas, estabelecer valores de referência e desenvolver equações preditivas baseadas em variáveis simples. Foram avaliados 17 participantes através do Índice de Barthel, Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Questionário Internacional de Atividade Física e aplicação dos testes de Sit-to-Stand. A análise incluiu correlações, comparações entre grupos e regressão linear múltipla. Os resultados revelaram desempenho inferior face a valores normativos, correlação negativa entre os dois testes e associação significativa da idade e da atividade física com o 30-Second Sit-to-Stand. O Five Times Sit-to-Stand relacionou-se sobretudo com a atividade física baixa. Conclui-se que a prática regular de atividade física é determinante para a preservação da funcionalidade após Acidente Vascular Cerebral, reforçando a relevância de programas estruturados de exercício no processo de reabilitação.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability, resulting in motor, sensory, cognitive, and perceptual limitations that compromise autonomy. Functional assessment is essential to guide rehabilitation, with the 5 Times Sit-to-Stand and the 30 Second Sit-to-Stand tests being valid and useful tools in clinical practice. This study aims to analyze the performance of chronic stroke survivors in these tests, explore associations with clinical and sociodemographic characteristics, establish reference values, and develop predictive equations based on simple variables. Seventeen participants were assessed using the Barthel Index, the Fugl-Meyer Assessment, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and the sit-to-stand tests. Analysis included correlations, group comparisons, and multiple linear regression. Participants showed lower performance compared with normative values, a negative correlation between the two tests, and significant associations of age and physical activity with the 30 Second Sit-to-Stand. The 5 Times Sit-to-Stand was mainly related to low physical activity. Regular physical activity is a key determinant of functional preservation after stroke, reinforcing the importance of structured exercise programs in rehabilitation
