Abstract

Cerebrovascular Accidents (CVA) is the third cause of death in the world, people who suffer from these conditions experience changes in their lives that are manifested through motor, cognitive and sensory sequelae resulting from a stroke. Despite the isolation conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic throughout the world, Cuba was forced to design actions that responded to the rehabilitation of patients with different motor sequelae in the community context, so that without physical treatment increased and passed to sequelae of greater physical motor impact due to the time of immobility. The objective of the study is to design therapeutic actions for the rehabilitation of hemiparetic patients at home, maintaining the hygienic-sanitary measures established by Public Health in times of the COVID-19 pandemic, since the institutions that develop this treatment are closed. For the development, empirical and theoretical methods were applied, which allowed adapting the actions to the individualized treatment according to the state of disability. The results of the actions corroborated the self-validation and reincorporation into social life of three investigated patients, demonstrating the effectiveness of individualized work, associated pathologies and the work of community actors and the actions of the family.
