Abstract: The purpose of this study was to verify the effect of functional bandaging (FB) with or without functional electrical stimulation (FES) and vibration therapy (VT) in dorsiflexion and weight bearing in post-stroke patients. The study was conducted with 7 chronic post-stroke individuals of both sexes, aged between 40 and 70 years, with spastic pattern equinus-varus ankle. Three protocols were followed: application of FB in the tibialis anterior muscle; Association of FB and FES; and FB associated with VT. The interventions were performed twice a week, one month in each protocol, with an interval of two weeks between them. Individuals were assessed and reassessed with baro-podometry and electromyography of the tibialis anterior muscle. Data that were not normal were submitted to Wilcoxon and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Those that were normal were analyzed with t test and One-way ANOVA. Values of p≤0.05 were considered significant. There was no difference in RMSn values and baro-podometry intra and inter groups. There was an increased signal amplitude EMGn (Pmaxn) and reduced median frequency for FB protocol (p=0.03); no difference was found in the others. FB applied alone was able to increase muscle activity. However, when combined with other therapies, their effects were not evidenced.
