Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Objective. The objective of this study was to report the case of a patient with Machado-Joseph disease undergoing therapy Mirror (TM) in the lower limbs. Method. This is a case report of a male patient, 56 years old, diagnosed with Machado-Joseph disease. The instruments used for evaluation were the equilibrium Berg Scale (BBS), walk test 5 meters (C5M) test up and down stairs (TU) and (TDS), Time test upand- Go (TUG) and surface electromyography during voluntary isometric contraction (IVC) bilaterally and simultaneously the retofemural muscles (RF) and tibialis anterior (TA). For intervention applied to TM associated with exercises in the lower limbs. Results. Therre was a increase in the BBS (p=0.05), reducing the time for C5M test, TU, TDS, TUG, and increased electromyographic activity for RF and TA muscles. Conclusion. We concluded that the TM can contribute to functional improvement and increase in electromyographic activity in this patient.
