Introduction: Stroke is the cause of several neurological disabilities in adults, which makes it necessary to better study the impact on functional capacity. Objective: The objective was to evaluate the motor dexterity performance of upper limbs in chronic hemiparetic submitted to Group Physiotherapy in the Training Circuit (GPTC) format, as this form of treatment has been shown to be effective in the improvement functional capacity, which makes it necessary a study aimed at the upper limb. Methods: Fifteen hemiparetic patients in our service with GPTC participated. An initial assessment (IA1) was performed using the Modified Ashworth scale, Box and Block Test (BBT), and the 9-Hole Peg Test (9-HPT). After 12 weeks of intervention with GPTC, the final evaluation (FE2) was performed using the same tests. Results: Statistical analysis considered p > 0.05 and did not reveal a significant difference between IA1 and FE2 in hand-held dynamometry as well as in the BBT and 9-HPT. Conclusion: The therapeutic protocol did not determine the improvement of the motor dexterity of upper limbs in chronic hemiparetic patients submitted to GPTC.
