Stroke is a decrease or suspension of blood supply to the brain. Anosognosia after stroke is frequent in the acute and rare chronic phase. It represents asso in way to the perception of the existence or extension of its difficulties, interfering negatively in the rehabilitation. This study evaluated anosognosia after stroke in patients of a physiotherapeutic group rehabilitation program in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. A quantitative, descriptive exploratory and cross-sectional study was carried out with 11 patients, mean age of 62.73 ± 8.09 and their families, was not from June to October 2017. The Patient Competence Rating Scale (PCRS) - Brazilian version for patients and caregivers was answered an Anamnese. We observed a discrepancy in the results of the self-perception of the patient and the perception of the children in the family, being 9.45 ± 6.80 in the PCRS. This can negatively influence a recovery. We observed a moderate negative correlation between a current age and a discrepancy of the PCRS for family and patients. Older patients had better self-perception of difficulties, this may be a result of neuroplasticity, in which they adapted to health conditions. Although not observed without study, we believe that group physical activity improving physical and psychic, which can help in the prevention of anosognosia.
