Resumo
Purpose: To determine the potential predictors of participation of individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis, taking into account modifiable variables of impairments, activity limitations, and environmental factors. Methods: One hundred and nine individuals (58 ± 12 years; 64 men) participated in this study. Outcomes included measures of impairments (depressive symptoms: Geriatric Depression Scale and motor-based impairments: finger-to-nose test, lower extremity (LE) motor coordination test, and handgrip strength, isometric strength of the LE muscles), activity (capacity: 10-meter walking speed test and Test d'Évaluation des Membres Supérieurs de Personnes Agées; performance: locomotion and manual abilities; environmental factors (Measure of the Quality of the Environment); and participation: Assessment of Life Habits (LIFE-H 3.1 Brazil)). Results: Regression analyses revealed that the explanatory variables accounted for 59% and 49% of the variance in the LIFE-H 3.1 Brazil daily activity and social role sub-scales, respectively. Locomotion performance (R2 = 39%; p < 0.0001) and walking speed (R2 = 32%; p < 0.0001) were the best predictors of the LIFE-H 3.1 Brazil daily activity and social role sub-scales, respectively. Depressive symptoms were the only impairments, which were retained in both models. Conclusions: Performance and capacity-based measures of locomotion showed to be the best predictors of participation. Additionally, depressive symptoms should not be underlooked.
