To evaluate and compare the effects of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation when applied in the agonist and antagonist muscles of spastic hemiparetic patients. The specific objectives are: * Evaluate the resistance movement, strength and muscle electrical activity before and after application of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in spastic muscle (gastrocnemius). * Evaluate the resistance movement, strength and muscle electrical activity before and after application of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in the spastic antagonist muscle (tibialis anterior). * Compare the risk of falls after application of Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation in both muscles studied.
