Abstract
Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze the scientific evidence found on the treatment of stroke through functional electrostimulation (FES) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF). Methods: The methodology used was an integrative literature review, in the databases, SCIELO, PEDro, articles published in the databases in the last 10 years. The effects of functional electrostimulation (FES) and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) were evaluated in patients with stroke sequelae. Results: The search resulted in a total of 357 articles that after the inclusion and exclusion criteria were 10 articles for the study where it was divided into two tables highlighting the treatments and their effectiveness where, in total, ten articles were analyzed, of which six are pilot studies, 1 clinical trial, 2 control studies and 1 cross-sectional study. Final Considerations: With the application of both resources, it was observed that they remove a more effective rehabilitation, providing greater quality of life to patients. It is suggested that more complex studies be performed, with larger and more homogeneous samples, in an attempt to more efficient analyzes.
