Objective: Identify the functional behavior of individuals after chronic stroke eighteen months of evolution. Method: Prospective longitudinal study with data collections carried out between February 2019 and December 2019. Data was collected from individuals who had ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke more than 6 months previously and individuals were over the age of 18 years. An assessment was carried out to collect sociodemographic data, and information was collected on the use of orthoses, physical activity, physiotherapy treatment, smoking history, frequency and occurrence of falls, among others. In addition, the 10-meter Walk Test (10MWT), the Human Activity Profile (HAP) questionnaire, cognition assessment with the Mini Mental State Examination (Mini-Mental), the international falls self-efficacy scale (FESi) and functional capacity assessment with the Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) were carried out. An 18-month follow-up was carried out. Results: The study obtained 44 individuals, among which 35 had ischemic stroke, with an average age of 65 years and 60 months after the stroke. The individuals did not show changes in their functional level, they maintained independent walking with an average habitual walking speed of 0.75m/s, the use of orthosis, the reach of objects, independent feeding, and the use of an independent bathroom. Conclusion: After 18 months of follow-up, the individuals had maintained their functional behavior in most cases, and it can be said that they had reached a plateau in their state of health.
