Abstract: The aim of the study was to analyze the influence of a global home exercise program accompanied by telemonitoring on gait speed and the risk of falls in patients with post-stroke hemiparesis, as well as to verify possible between gait speed variables and gait the risk of falls. Methods: a cross-sectional survey was carried out with an and descriptive and inferential analysis. Data collection is based on the application of sociodemographic characterization tests, the 10-meter Walk Test (TC10), Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and the Electronic Baropodometry Platform. Results: After the intervention, it was possible to observe an increase in the risk of falls and a decrease in gait speed, as well as, the evaluated variables showed a significant correlation with each other. Final considerations: The home exercise program accompanied by telemonitoring did not have a significant effect on gait speed, however, it showed a relationship with an increased risk of falls, and it should be noted that gait speed also showed an association with the risk of falls.
