OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to correlate the P2/P1 ratio of intracranial pressure waveforms with sedentary behavior during the chronic stage of stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eight patients from São Carlos, Brazil, who had hemiparesis and stroke onset within the previous 6 months, participated in this study. To monitor their intracranial pressure, we used noninvasive Brain4Care® intracranial pressure monitoring during a postural change maneuver involving 15 min in a supine position and 15 min in an orthostatic position. The patients' sedentary behavior was continually monitored at home using a StepWatch Activity Monitor™ for 1 week. Moreover, the patients completed the International Physical Activity Questionnaire before and after using the StepWatch Activity Monitor™. RESULTS: In the supine and orthostatic positions, the P2/P1 ratios were 0.84 ± 0.14 and 0.98 ± 0.17, respectively. The percentage of time spent in inactivity was 71 ± 11%, and the number of steps walked per day was 4220 ± 2239. We found a high positive correlation (r = 0.881, p = 0.004) between the P2/P1 ratio and the percentage of time spent in inactivity. CONCLUSION: This preliminary study showed a correlation between sedentary behavior and cerebral compliance. Thus, monitoring of intracranial pressure during the late stage of a stroke could guide the clinician's treatment to reduce sedentary behavior and the risks of recurrent stroke and cardiovascular diseases.
