ABSTRACT
Introduction: The Cerebrovascular Illness represents the third cause of death and the first of handicap in the developed
world. The motile sequels constitute the main handicap caused and hemiplegia is the most frequent form. Hemiplegia is
subject to changes, influenced by the complications that arise during the patient’s evolution. We analyze the complications
in hemiplegic patients due to chronicle Cerebrovascular Diseases, and the relationship with the lesional topography.
Material and methods: 110 patients were studied and the diagnosis was Stroke and hemiplegia was the main sequel. The
demographic data and lesional topography were kept in mind as independent variables. Presence and types of complications
were considered as dependent variables. The information was processed by the mean for quantitative variables and the
use of percents for qualitative variables, with an IC (Interval of confidence) of 95%. For the analysis of statistical significance
the multiple regression tests was used.
Results: 73.63% of the studied patients suffered some complication. The most
frequent were depression, painful shoulder, epilepsy and joint contracture. It doesn’t exist significant relationship between
the complications in a global way and the lesional topography, but it was found a significant relationship with epilepsy and
depression.
Conclusions: The hemiplegic patient’s complications due to Cerebrovascular Illness are frequent, specially,
those related to musculoskeletical origin. The lesional topography is not defined as a clinical factor associated to the
presence of complications.
