“…The decrease of exercise capacity associated with mildly compromised cognitive performance was only partially explained by a positive history of previous cerebrovascular disease, which has been demonstrated to influence both cognitive function (36) and exercise tolerance (37).…”

“…Within this context, weaknesses of the respiratory muscles and changes in the thoraco-abdominal motion could be related to decreased tidal volumes, and consequently, lower exercise tolerance, as observed in healthy individuals 13 . Additionally, in accordance with Patterson et al 14 , the ability to generate force with the paretic lower limb is the major determinant of the ability to perform short or long walks.…”

| Background: The assessment of strength and its relationships with functional capacity could contribute to more specific and effective disability management of stroke survivors. Objective: To compare and investigate associations between measures of strength and functional capacity of 98 chronic stroke survivors, stratified into three groups, according to their physical activity levels. Method: The physical activity levels were classified as impaired, moderately active, and active, based on their Human Activity Profile (HAP) scores. Strength was assessed by the maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressures and by the residual deficits (RDs) of work of the lower limb and trunk muscles, whereas functional capacity was evaluated by the distance covered during the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Results: One-way analyses of variance revealed significant differences between the groups, except between the active and moderately active groups regarding the RDS of the hip and knee flexors/extensors and ankle dorsiflexors (2.91

Abstract.[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare a conventional one leg standing exercise and a device-using one leg standing exercise in order to improve hemiplegia patients gait and balance function.[Subject] The subjects of this study were 30 patients who were hospitalized with hemiplegia resulting from stroke. The final number of participants was 27, because three patients were discharged during the experiment.[Methods] The participants were divided randomly and equally into a conventional one-leg standing balance exercise group (control group) and a device-using one-leg standing balance exercise group (experimental group). In the experimental group, exercise consisted of a one-leg standing weight-bearing balance exercise in which ± 5° changes could be made for dynamic changes, while maintaining a hip flexion angle of 5° and a knee flexion angle of 10° during the stance phase. [Results] In the comparison of gait traits and velocity prior to and after the therapy in both the conservative group and the device-using group, all items significantly increased after 8 weeks of therapy. TUG and BBS of both groups also significantly increased. [Conclusion] This study demonstrated the effect of a treatment method using a one leg standing balance exercise on the gait cycle.
