ABSTRACT Purpose Oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is one of the possible outcomes in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 and also in the population hospitalized for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Thus, knowing the predictive risk factors for OD may help with referral and early intervention. This study aimed to verify the association of different factors with OD in hospitalized individuals with cardiovascular disease and COVID-19. Methods Cross-sectional clinical study approved by the Research Ethics Committee (4,521,771). Clinical evaluation of swallowing was carried out in 72 adult patients with cardiovascular disease and COVID-19 hospitalized from April to September 2020. Individuals under 18 years of age and without previous cardiovascular disease were excluded. The presence of general clinical and/or neurological complications, pronation, stay in the intensive care unit (ICU), orotracheal intubation (OTI), tracheostomy tube, oxygen support and age were considered as predictive risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia. Fisher's exact test, Mann Whitney test and logistic regression model were used for analysis. Results General clinical complications (p=0.001), pronation (p=0.003), ICU stay (p=0.043), in addition to the need for oxygen supplementation (p=0.023) and age (p= 0 .037) were statistically significant factors associated. The pronation (0.013) and age (0.038) were independently associated with dysphagia. OTI (p=0.208), tracheostomy (p=0.707) and the presence of previous cerebrovascular accidents (p=0.493) were not statistically significant. Conclusion In this study, age and prone position were factors independently associated with oropharyngeal dysphagia, complications such as the need for oxygen supplementation, in addition to the need for ICU admission, were also associated factors in the population.

ABSTRACT To compare the ultrasound measurement of distance from the approximation of the hyoid bone during of the maximum deglutition peak between healthy individuals and neurogenic dysphagic individuals and to verify the effect of food consistencies on the displacement of the hyoid bone. Prospective, controlled clinical study. Ultrasound recordings of the oropharyngeal deglutition were conducted in 10 adults diagnosed with oropharyngeal dysphagia and in 10 healthy adults, matched by sex and age group. A portable ultrasound model Micro ultrasound system with a microconvex transducer 5-10 MHz, coupled to a computer as well as the head stabilizer were used. The ultrasound images were recorded using the AAA software (Articulate Assistant Advanced) at a rate of 120 frames/second. Food consistencies level 0 (free volume and 5 mL) and level 4 (5 mL) were used, based on the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDSSI). The calculation of the mean and standard deviation was used for the descriptive analysis, while the repeated measures ANOVA test was used for the inferential analysis. Results showed dysphagic individuals had lower elevation of the hyoid bone marked by a longer distance from the approximation of the hyoid bone during of the maximum deglutition peak when compared to healthy individuals, regardless of the food consistency offered. It was concluded that the ultrasound measurement of distance from the approximation of the hyoid bone during of the maximum deglutition peak showed less laryngeal elevation in individuals with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia when compared to healthy individuals for all food consistencies offered.

Abstract Objective: To classifying the degree of swallowing impairment in the elderly, comparing clinical and instrumental assessment. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with quantitative and qualitative analysis of clinical and instrumental assessment of 37 elderly, aged 60 -82 years, of both genders without neurological, oncological or systemic diseases, participated in this study. All participants were submitted to clinical evaluation and their results compared through fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing considering liquid, pudding and solid food consistencies. Data were analyzed descriptively and statistically using the analysis of variance test (two-way ANOVA) and Tukey’s post hoc test (p< 0.05). Results: In the clinical evaluation there was a higher occurrence of moderate swallowing impairment, followed by functional swallowing, while in fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing the severity of the impairment was greater for moderate and mild degrees. There was no statistical difference between the clinical and instrumental evaluation methods. However, there was a significant interaction between the variables, with a difference for liquid consistency in the instrumental evaluation method. Conclusion: Healthy elderly have different degree of swallowing impairment according to food consistency. The clinical assessment using a scale that considers the physiological changes of the elderly, presented results similar to those found in the instrumental examination. Level of Evidence: 2.

ABSTRACT Purpose This study aims to analyze inter-judge reliability by measuring a few temporal parameters of swallowing using a specific software. Methods Six databases that include the results of reliability tests performed in prior studies by the present research group were employed. The datasets were obtained using the same measurement method and include data obtained based on puree (level 3) consistency and liquid (level 0) consistency according to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative. In this study, the reliabilities corresponding to the total oral transit time (TOTT), initiation of the pharyngeal response time (PRT), and the pharyngeal transit time (PTT) were measured using the same software; the evaluations performed by a single rater for all datasets were used as the benchmark, and evaluations performed by new raters for each dataset were also included. The intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) with a 95% confidence interval was employed. Results A total of 244 videofluoroscopic swallowing study images were analyzed. In all analyses, the ICCs were >0,75 and showed excellent agreement between the senior and junior raters. The TOTT for level 3 showed ICCs from 0.936 to 1.000 and that for level 0 showed ICCs from 0.997 to 1.000. Further, the PRT showed ICCs from 0.916 to 1.000 for level 3 and from 0.978 to 1.000 for level 0. The PTT showed ICCs from 0.848 to 1.000 for level 3 and from 0.984 to 1.000 for level 0. Conclusion The reliabilities obtained using this specific software for the TOTT, PRT, and PTT showed excellent agreement.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to provide an integrative review of the current evidence on the fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing performing procedures and analysis parameters in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Methods: the study question followed the PECO strategy, and the search was performed in Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, Lilacs, Web of Science, and CINAHL databases, using keywords and specific free terms. Two authors screened eligible articles published from 2013 to October 2021 and extracted data on fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing performing procedures and analysis parameters in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Literature Review: of the 1,570 articles initially identified, 14 were eligible. There was no consensus on the consistency, volume, and type of food, utensils, sequence, and number of repetitions of each task during the exam. The analysis parameters, when described, were distinct. Although with different classification criteria, the observation of pharyngeal residue, laryngeal penetration, and laryngotracheal aspiration was included in all studies. Conclusion: fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing performing procedures and analysis parameters are not standardized in studies with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients.

Houve diferença estatística significativa somente com resíduos faríngeos na consistência líquida espessada e pastosa na ELA. Conclusão Dentre os achados videoendoscópicos da deglutição na ELA, somente o resíduo faríngeo teve maior frequência na dependência da consistência de alimento.

ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to compare the fiberoptic endoscopic findings of oropharyngeal swallowing of distinct food consistencies in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Methods This was a retrospective clinical study of a convenience sample of 20 individuals (13 males and seven females aged 34 to 78 years old) with a diagnosis of ALS and oropharyngeal dysphagia confirmed by clinical and objective evaluation of swallowing, regardless of the bulbar or skeletal type and of the time of neurological diagnosis. The fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) of the liquid (N = 18), thickened liquid (N = 19) and pureed samples (N = 20) in a volume of 5 ml were analyzed. Data related to posterior oral spillage, pharyngeal residues, laryngeal penetration and/or aspiration after swallowing the three food consistencies were analyzed statistically by the Friedman ANOVA test. Results No impairment of laryngeal sensitivity was found in this population. There was no statistically significant difference in posterior oral spillage, penetration and/or aspiration between food consistencies. There was a statistically significant difference only related to pharyngeal residues of the thickened liquid and pureed consistency. Conclusion Among the fiberoptic endoscopic findings of swallowing in ALS, only pharyngeal residues had a higher frequency depending on the consistency of food.

TTOT was categorized as short or long based on definitions already evidenced in the literature. Results The mean and standard deviation of TOTT values was 10.75 s and 11.76 s for pureed food and 4.22 s and 1.54 s for liquid food. Conclusion The total oral transit time of pureed or liquid consistency was long in children with neurological involvement and with an indication of gastrostomy.

Abstract Some conditions consolidated as risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia have already been identified in other diseases, such as neurological. Studies on cardiovascular diseases concentrate in individuals in the postoperative period; thus, it is unknown if these same factors occur in individuals hospitalized for clinical or surgical treatment of these diseases. Objective to correlate predictive risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia in individuals with cardiovascular disease admitted at a reference cardiology hospital. Methodology This is a retrospective clinical study. Medical records of 175 individuals hospitalized for clinical and/or surgical treatment at a reference cardiology hospital from January to June 2017, attendants of the Speech-Language Pathology and Nutrition team, were analyzed. Of these, 100 records were included in the study: 41 females and 59 males (mean age 67.56 years). Deaths and individuals from 0 to 18 years were excluded. Stroke, malnutrition, age and prolonged orotracheal intubation were considered predictive risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia. Mann-Whitney test and Fisher's test were used for statistical analysis. Results Stroke (OR=2.93 p=0.02), malnutrition (OR=2.89 p=0.02) and prolonged orotracheal intubation (OR=3.94 p=0.02) were statistically significant predictors for oropharyngeal dysphagia within this population. Age below 80 years was not significant (p=0.06), but within octogenarians, significance was found (p=0.033). Conclusion Stroke, malnutrition, prolonged orotracheal intubation and age > 80 years are predictive risk factors for oropharyngeal dysphagia in adult population with cardiovascular diseases.

RESUMO O comprometimento na fase oral da deglutição na doença do neurônio motor (DNM) é ocasionado por fraqueza, fasciculação e atrofia de língua, podendo comprometer o tempo de trânsito oral (TTO) e o tempo total de alimentação. Objetivo: Descrever e relacionar o tempo de trânsito oral total (TTOT) com o desempenho funcional na DNM em distintas consistências de alimento. Métodos: Participaram 20 indivíduos com DNM, independente do tipo ou tempo de doença. Foram incluídos 11 indivíduos, nove homens e duas mulheres, faixa etária de 31 a 87 anos (média de idade de 57 anos) e com Penetration Aspiration Scale (Rosenbek et al., 1996) de ≤ 2 a ≤ 4. Foram excluídos nove indivíduos por questões técnicas relacionadas às imagens videofluoroscópicas de deglutição. Aplicado o questionário Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale - revised para classificação dos indivíduos de acordo com parâmetros Global, Bulbar e Bulbar/Respiratório. Realizada videofluoroscopia da deglutição com diferentes consistências de alimento no volume de cinco ml e análise quantitativa do TTOT por meio de software específico. Resultados: Houve ampla variação no TTOT dentro da mesma consistência de alimento na DNM. Houve correlação entre o TTOT e o desempenho funcional global na consistência líquida espessada (r = −0,691) e para o TTOT e o desempenho bulbar na pastosa (r = −0,859). Conclusão: O tempo de trânsito oral total na DNM varia dentro da mesma consistência de alimento e quanto mais longo o TTOT, independente da consistência do alimento, menor foi o desempenho funcional na DNM.

ABSTRACT Oral phase swallowing impairment in motor neuron disease (MND) is caused by tongue weakness, fasciculation and atrophy, which may compromise oral transit time and total feeding time. Objective: To describe and correlate total oral transit time (TOTT) with functional performance in MND using different food consistencies. Methods: The study was conducted on 20 patients with MND, regardless of type or duration of the disease, of whom nine were excluded due to issues on the videofluoroscopic swallowing images. The remaining 11 patients (nine men and two women) ranged from 31 to 87 years of age (mean: 57 years) with scores on the Penetration Aspiration Scale ranging from ≤ 2 to ≤ 4. The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale - revised questionnaire was applied to classify individuals according to global, bulbar and bulbar/respiratory parameters. Videofluoroscopy of swallowing using 5ml of different consistencies was performed and a quantitative temporal analysis of the TOTT was carried out with the aid of specific software. Results: There was a wide variation in the TOTT within the same food consistency among MND patients. There was a correlation between the TOTT and overall functional performance for the thickened liquid consistency (r = −0.691) and between the TOTT and bulbar performance for the pureed consistency (r = −0.859). Conclusion: Total oral transit time in MND varies within the same food consistency and the longer the TOTT, regardless of food consistency, the lower the functional performance in MND.

RESUMO Objetivo Comparar os resíduos faríngeos por consistência de alimento entre indivíduos com disfagia orofaríngea neurogênica. Método Estudo clínico transversal. Realizada análise de 30 exames de videoendoscopia de deglutição de indivíduos com diagnóstico de doenças neurológicas e disfagia orofaríngea, independentemente do tempo ou estágio das doenças. Os indivíduos foram divididos em três grupos: o grupo I composto por 10 indivíduos pós-Acidente Vascular Cerebral, 8 homens e 2 mulheres, faixa etária entre 51 e 80 anos (média 67 anos); o grupo II por 10 indivíduos com Esclerose Lateral Amiotrófica, 5 homens e 5 mulheres, faixa etária entre 39 e 78 anos (média 57 anos), e o grupo III por 10 indivíduos com Doença de Parkinson (DP), 5 homens e 5 mulheres, faixa etária entre 65 e 88 anos (média 74 anos). Para análise dos resíduos faríngeos em valéculas e seios piriformes, foi aplicada a Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale, considerando a primeira deglutição de 5 mL nas consistências pastosa e líquida espessada, por dois juízes independentes e de forma cega. Resultados Não houve diferença estatística significativa nos resíduos faríngeos, em valéculas (p= 0,25/ p= 0,18) e seios piriformes (p= 1,41/ 0,49), respectivamente nas consistências pastosa e líquida espessada, nas diferentes doenças estudadas. Conclusão Os níveis de resíduos faríngeos na consistência pastosa ou líquida espessada na população estudada foram semelhantes e mais frequentes nos níveis menos grave.

ABSTRACT Purpose To compare pharyngeal residues of different consistencies among groups of individuals with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia. Methods In a cross-sectional study, a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation was performed in 30 swallowing exams of individuals diagnosed with neurological disease and oropharyngeal dysphagia, regardless of the time or stage of the disease. The individuals were divided into three groups according to etiology: group I, 10 post-stroke, 8 male and 2 female, aged 51 to 80 years (average age: 67 years); group II, 10 individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, 5 male and 5 female, aged 39 to 78 years (average age: 57 years); group III, 10 examinations of individuals with Parkinson's disease, 5 male and 5 female aged 65-88 years (average age: 74 years). The Yale Pharyngeal Residue Severity Rating Scale was applied by two independent raters in a blind manner for the analysis of pharyngeal residues in valleculae and pyriform sinuses based on the first swallowing of 5 mL of pureed and thickened liquid. Results No statistically significant difference was observed among groups in the degree of pharyngeal residues of puree food or thickened liquid in the valleculae (p = 0.25/p = 0.18) or the pyriform sinuses (p = 1.41/0.49). Conclusion The pharyngeal residue levels of pureed and thickened liquid were similar for the groups studied, with less severe levels being more frequent.

RESUMO Objetivo Descrever e correlacionar a funcionalidade bulbar com penetração e aspiração laringotraqueal em distintas consistências de alimento na Doença do Neurônio Motor (DNM). Método Participaram do estudo 18 indivíduos diagnosticados com DNM, independentemente do tipo e tempo da doença. Foi aplicada a escala Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale–Revised/BR (ALSFRS-R/BR), sendo analisado apenas o parâmetro bulbar que compreende fala, salivação e deglutição, com pontuação de 0 (incapacidade) a 12 (funcionalidade normal). Realizou-se videofluoroscopia da deglutição com aplicação da Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) descrita por Rosenbek et al. (1996). Realizado Teste de Correlação de Pearson. Resultados Considerando a consistência do alimento, o nível da PAS variou de 1 a 5 na consistência pastosa, de 1 a 4 na líquida espessada e de 1 a 3 na líquida rala, e não houve aspiração laringotraqueal. Para todas as consistências de alimentos, houve correlação negativa entre funcionalidade bulbar e penetração laríngea (pastoso: r=-0,487, p=0,041; líquido espessado: r=-0,442, p=0,076; líquido ralo: r=-0,460, p=0,073), porém somente na consistência pastosa houve diferença estatística significante, ou seja, indivíduos com baixa funcionalidade bulbar apresentaram maior nível de penetração laríngea. Conclusão Houve correlação negativa entre funcionalidade bulbar e penetração laríngea na DNM. Os parâmetros bulbares da escala ALSFRS-R/BR mostraram-se significantes para predizer risco de penetração laringotraqueal na consistência pastosa na DNM.

ABSTRACT Objective Describe and correlate bulbar functionality with laryngeal penetration and/or laryngotracheal aspiration for different food consistencies in Motor Neuron Disease (MND). Methods Study participants were 18 individuals diagnosed with MND regardless of the type and time of onset of disease. The Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale - Revised/BR (ALSFRS-R/BR) was applied, and only the bulbar parameter, which includes speech, salivation and swallowing, was analyzed, with scores raging from 0 (disability) to 12 (normal functionality). Swallowing videofluoroscopy was performed using the Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) described by Rosenbek et al. (1996). The Pearson correlation test was used for data analysis. Results According to food consistency, the PAS level ranged from 1 to 5 for puree consistency, 1 to 4 for thickened liquid, and 1 to 3 for liquid, and no laryngotracheal aspiration was observed. Negative correlation between bulbar functionality and laryngeal penetration was observed for all food consistencies (pasty: r=-0.487, p=0.041; thickened liquid: r=-0.442, p=0.076; liquid r=0.460, p=0.073), but statistically significant difference was found only for the puree consistency, that is, individuals with poor bulbar functionality presented higher levels of laryngeal penetration. Conclusion Negative correlation was observed between bulbar functionality and laryngeal penetration in MND. The bulbar parameters of the ALSFRS-R/BR are significant for predicting risk of laryngotracheal aspiration for pasty consistency in MND.

RESUMO Objetivo Este estudo tem o objetivo de identificar as evidências de validade baseadas no conteúdo e nos processos de resposta de um instrumento de Rastreamento para disfagia orofaríngea no Acidente Vascular Encefálico (RADAVE). Método Os critérios para elaborar os itens do instrumento foram baseados na revisão de literatura. Um grupo de juízes com 19 profissionais distintos e da área da saúde avaliaram a relevância e representatividade das questões e o resultado foi analisado por meio do índice de validade de conteúdo (IVC). Para evidência de validade baseada nos processos de resposta, 23 profissionais da saúde aplicaram o instrumento e analisaram as questões por meio de escala estruturada e entrevista cognitiva. Resultados O RADAVE foi estruturado para ser aplicado em duas etapas. A primeira versão foi constituída por 18 questões na etapa I e 11 questões na etapa II. Oito questões da etapa I e quatro questões da etapa II não atingiram o IVC mínimo, sendo realizadas reformulações pelos autores. A entrevista cognitiva demonstrou a necessidade de novos ajustes que resultaram na versão final com 12 questões na Etapa I e seis questões na Etapa II. Conclusão Foi possível desenvolver um instrumento de rastreamento para a disfagia no Acidente Vascular Encefálico com adequadas evidências de validade baseadas no conteúdo e nos processos de resposta. As duas evidências de validade obtidas até o momento permitiram ajustar o instrumento em relação ao seu constructo. Os próximos estudos irão analisar as demais evidências de validade e as medidas de acurácia.

In order to evidence validity based on the response processes, 23 health professionals administered the screening tool and analyzed the questions using a structured scale and cognitive interview. Results The RADAVE structured to be applied in two stages. The first version consisted of 18 questions in stage I and 11 questions in stage II. Eight questions in stage I and four in stage II did not reach the minimum Content Validity Index, requiring reformulation by the authors. The cognitive interview demonstrated some misconceptions. New adjustments were made and the final version was produced with 12 questions in stage I and six questions in stage II. Conclusion It was possible to develop a screening tool for dysphagia in stroke with adequate evidence of validity based on content and response processes. Both validity evidences obtained so far allowed to adjust the screening tool in relation to its construct. The next studies will analyze the other evidences of validity and the measures of accuracy.

RESUMO Objetivo Este estudo tem por objetivo descrever a análise qualitativa e quantitativa temporal da deglutição orofaríngea em crianças com diagnóstico de Síndrome de Down (SD). Método Estudo de série de seis casos, com idade variando de quatro a 17 meses (Média de 11,16 meses e mediana de 12 meses). Realizada análise qualitativa e quantitativa temporal da deglutição orofaríngea por meio de videofluoroscopia de deglutição e software específico. Foram analisados os parâmetros qualitativos de coordenação oral, resíduos orais, escape oral posterior, penetração, aspiração laringotraqueal e realizada análise do tempo de trânsito oral total (TTOT) e faríngeo. Resultados Verificou-se alteração em pelo menos quatro dos parâmetros qualitativos investigados. Somente um dos indivíduos apresentou diferença no TTOT quando comparado com os demais e não houve diferença no tempo de trânsito faríngeo entre os casos. Conclusão Houve alterações qualitativas na deglutição em crianças com SD e diferença no TTOT somente no caso de menor faixa etária.

ABSTRACT Purpose To describe the qualitative and quantitative temporal analysis of oropharyngeal swallowing in children diagnosed with Down syndrome (DS) through a case series study of six individuals aged 4 to 17 months (mean age = 11.16 months; median = 12 months). Methods Qualitative and quantitative temporal analysis of swallowing using videofluoroscopy and specific software. The following parameters were assessed: presence or absence of oral incoordination, labial sphincter sealing incompetence, oral residue, posterior oral spillage, laryngotracheal penetration and aspiration, pharyngeal and total oral transit time (TOTT). Results Qualitative analysis identified individuals with disorders in at least four of the swallowing parameters investigated. Only one individual presented total oral transit time (TOTT) different from the others. No difference was observed between the cases regarding pharyngeal transit time. Conclusion Qualitative swallowing disorders are observed in children with DS, with difference in TOTT only in the case report of the youngest infant.

RESUMO Introdução O tempo de trânsito orofaríngeo se modifica de acordo com inúmeras variáveis. Objetivo Comparar o tempo de trânsito oral total (TTOT) e a lateralidade da lesão cerebral no indivíduo após acidente vascular encefálico (AVE), com disfagia orofaríngea. Métodos Foram analisados 61 exames de videofluoroscopia da deglutição de indivíduos pós-AVE hemisférico unilateral e isquêmico. Os participantes foram divididos em dois grupos: O Grupo 1 (G1) foi composto de 30 indivíduos com lesão cortical direita e o Grupo 2 (G2), de 31 indivíduos com lesão cortical esquerda. A análise quantitativa do TTOT foi feita por dois juízes treinados no procedimento, por meio de software específico e foi realizada a análise da confiabilidade entre julgadores. Para a análise dos resultados, utilizou-se o teste Mann-Whitney. Resultados Verificou-se que, no G1, o TTOT foi maior que 2000 ms em 50% dos indivíduos e, no G2, em 94% dos indivíduos, ocorrendo diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos (p<0,01). Na comparação entre G1 e G2, para o TTOT, observou-se diferença estatística significativa (p=0,001). Entretanto, não houve diferença estatística significativa na comparação do G1 e G2, tanto para o TTOT menor que 2000 ms (p=1,000), como para o TTOT maior que 2000 ms (p=0,603). Contudo, verificou-se que, no G2, a média do TTOT maior que 2000 ms foi superior, quando comparada ao G1. Conclusão Houve tempo de trânsito oral total maior e menor que 2000 ms, em ambos os hemisférios corticais lesionados. A frequência de indivíduos com tempo de trânsito oral total maior que 2000 ms, bem como a média desse tempo, foram maiores na lesão cortical à esquerda no AVE.

ABSTRACT Introduction The oropharyngeal transit time changes according to several variables. Purpose To compare the total oral transit time (TOTT) and laterality of brain lesion in the individual after stroke with oropharyngeal dysphagia. Methods Analyzed 61 videofluoroscopic swallowing studies of individuals after unilateral cortical ischemic stroke. Participants were divided into two groups. Group 1 (G1) consisted of 30 individuals with right-side cortical lesion and group 2 (G2) of 31 individuals with left-side cortical lesion. Quantitative analysis of the TOTT was performed by two judges trained in the procedure by means of specific software and an analysis of the reliability between judges was performed. The Mann-Whitney test was used for the data analysis. Results It was found TTOT longer than 2000 ms in 50% of the G1 and in 94% of the individuals of G2 with a significant statistical difference between the groups (p<0.01). In the comparison between G1 and G2 regarding TOTT, it was verified that there was significant statistical difference (p=0.001). However, there was no significant statistical difference in the comparison between G1 and G2 for both TOTT shorter than 2000 ms (p=1.000) and TOTT longer than 2000 ms (p=0.603). However, it was found that in G2 the TOTT average is longer than 2000 ms and was greater than in G1. Conclusion There were TOTT shorter and longer than 2000 ms in both hemispheric cortical lesion. The frequency of individuals with TTOT are longer than 2000 ms and the average are greater in the left-side cortical lesion in stroke.
