Objective. To investigate the effects of foot stimulation in balance ofstroke patients. Method. Were conducted 24 sessions in each of the 56 patients with a diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, of both sexes, aged 44-85 years, mean 67 years.The included patients presente4d unilateral sequelae of stroke, medical release, signs of weakness and/or spasticity in affected hemibody be able to perform part or full motion involved in MI. We excluded patients with decompensated blood pressure, associated neurological pathologies and those who were not faithful to the treatment. The motor stimulation of hemiparetic foot consisted of adeep manual massage sliding across the foot, leg slip with stimulation of the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles after passive mobilization and active-assisted exercises and contract relax. The intervention was evaluated with Berg Balance Scale. Results. The balanceshowed a significant improvement in scores before and after (14 to 53). Conclusion. The foot stimulation was effective for improving balance in hemiparetic patients with sequels of stroke, demonstratingant increase in active motion and conducting functional abilities with the upper and lower limbs affected.
