“…Decreased physical activity level poststroke causes a decline in VO 2peak as low as 50%-70% of the age-and gender-matched value in sedentary people (Dobkin, 2008;Eng, Dawson, & Chu, 2004;MacKay-Lyons & Makrides, 2004). The participant in this study improved his VO 2peak by 30% during the 8-wk intervention.…”

OBJECTIVE. Previously, we demonstrated that forced aerobic exercise (FE) increases the pattern of neural activation in Parkinson's disease. We sought to evaluate whether FE, when coupled with repetitive task practice, could promote motor recovery poststroke. METHOD.A 46-yr-old man with ischemic stroke exhibited chronic residual upper-extremity deficits, scoring 35/66 on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) at baseline. He completed 24 training sessions comprising 45 min of FE on a motorized stationary bicycle followed by 45 min of upper-extremity repetitive task practice. RESULTS.From baseline to end of treatment, the FMA score improved by 20 points, perceived level of recovery on the Stroke Impact Scale increased by 20 percentage points, and cardiovascular function measured by peak oxygen uptake improved 30%. These improvements persisted 4 wk after the intervention ceased.

“…29 It is also clear from the evidence that this impairment is amenable to physiotherapy treatment. 30 In addition to referral to traditional outpatient physiotherapy programmes, in-patient therapists may recommend participation in cardiac-rehabilitation-style programmes 31 or referral to community-based exercise programmes.…”

Purpose: To determine the physiotherapy-related needs of people with stroke at discharge, 6 months after discharge, and 1 year after discharge from hospital, and to examine the results stratified by participants' acute Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores. Methods: A total of 241 adults with recent stroke were recruited into this longitudinal cohort study. As well as participating in a semi-structured interview that included questions about mobility needs and barriers, participants were asked to complete and return a closed-ended needs-assessment survey. Results: During the interview, participants reported needs and barriers related to motor control, walking, stairs, fatigue, prevention of falls, and access to physiotherapy services. The survey identified many more needs, including transfers, wheelchair use, higher-level balance and mobility skills, and access to physiotherapy and suitable exercise facilities. Frequencies of needs and barriers tended to be lower among participants with higher acute FIM scores. There was no consistent trend for needs and barriers to decrease over time. Conclusions: Over the first year after discharge from hospital, people with stroke report a large and varied number of persistent mobility-related needs. Physiotherapists have a role to play in advocating for adequate follow-up services and informing health policy with respect to the needs of their patients with stroke.

“…These patients eventually lose physical independence, and experience a reduction in their gait and balance abilities4 ) . This eventually leads to reduced physical activity, and subsequently, reduced respiratory function5, 6 ) . Reduced respiratory functions further compromises physical activity by increasing energy expenditure to account for 55–100% of the energy consumed during normal walking7 ) .…”

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of modified Pilates exercise on cardiopulmonary function in chronic stroke patients. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty participants (age, 62.7 ± 7.3 years; height, 163.3 ± 8.5 cm; weight, 68.8 ± 10.3 kg) were recruited for this study, and randomly allocated to the modified Pilates exercise group (n=10) or the control group (n=10). Graded submaximal treadmill exercise test was used to examine the status of patients’ cardiopulmonary function, based on maximal oxygen intake, at the end of a patient’s exercise tolerance limit. [Results] The resting heart rates, maximal oxygen intake, and maximal oxygen intake per kilogram were significantly different after 8 weeks of modified Pilates exercise. In addition, these variables were also significantly different between the Pilates and control groups after 8 weeks. [Conclusion] This study has demonstrated that 8 weeks of modified Pilates exercise program can have a positive influence on patients with chronic stroke, potentially by enhancing the cardiopulmonary function, which may have positive implications for increasing their functional ability.
