INTRODUCTION: The physical inabilities caused by stroke can encourage patients to maintain a low physical condition and become more sedentary than before. Sedentary behavior has harmful health effects, including an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVE: To verify if there is a relationship between sitting time and lower limb motor impairment in post-stroke patients. METHODS: This is an observational, cross-sectional study, in patients with clinical diagnosis of stroke in the chronic phase, of both genders. Sitting time was analyzed using the 5th section of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the motor function using the Fugl-Meyer Scale - lower limb (LL) subsection. Participants were evaluated in a single session, with an average duration of 1 hour. RESULTS: The correlation by Spearman's ρ coefficient between the Fugl-Meyer Scale subsection for lower limbs and IPAQ weekdays sitting time was -0.639 (p=0.008) and IPAQ weekend days sitting time -0.603* (p= 0.013). Patients spend 11.59 hours/day on weekdays and 12.15 hours/day on weekends in the sitting position. CONCLUSION: The results show a negative relationship between the variables studied, suggesting that the greater the lower limb motor impairment, the greater the average sitting time of the individual after the stroke.
