FISIOTERAPIA NEUROFUNCIONAL MELHORIA DA QUALIDADE DE VIDA EM IDOSOS PÓS-AVC HEMORRÁGICO

The hemorrhagic stroke (HS) poses a significant public health concern, particularly among the elderly population. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports approximately 15 million stroke cases annually, resulting in 6 million deaths and 5 million permanent disabilities. In Brazil, around 100,000 deaths each year are attributed to strokes, with 13% being hemorrhagic, and a mortality rate that can reach 50% within 30 days. In the Amazon region, the situation is exacerbated by limited access to specialized healthcare services, with an incidence of HS among the elderly at approximately 25 per 100,000 inhabitants and a mortality rate of 40%. Motor rehabilitation through neurofunctional physiotherapy is crucial for enhancing the quality of life and autonomy of patients. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of neurofunctional physiotherapy techniques in the recovery of elderly patients with HS, offering an integrative literature review. It seeks to identify effective methods for promoting functional recovery, contributing to the development of strategies that optimize treatment and consider the specific needs of the elderly population in the Amazon.
