    Introduction: Physical therapy has a range of features that can be used to promote motor recovery after stroke individuals. Objective: To evaluate the effect of combined treatment forming, Neural Mobilization and Vibration Stimulation on functional mobility and balance after stroke. Method: A sample of 30 individuals was arranged in two groups: the intervention group (IG-15 subjects) and control group (CG-15 subjects). Balance assessments were performed by BSE and Functional mobility through the TUG before and immediately after the neural mobilization, stretching and vibration platform in GI and self-stretching on the GC. Results: In the control group there was an increase in the average BSE (p=0.013) and reduced average TUG (p=0.001). Conclusion: Comprehensive protocol is presented as a possible valid form of treatment for post stroke patients... View More»
