Recovery of motor function after stroke: A polymyography-based analysis

Age-dependent changes in cardiac performance, motor function, QoL, and mental status in metoprolol-treated chronic heart failure patients

“…The decrease in 6MWT distance and VSAQ scores in this study may be correlated with decreased cardiac performance at 1 month as patients with CHF usually report myopathy of both cardiac and skeletal muscles 38 . This further validates the finding that cardiovascular diseases are associated with deteriorating motor functions 39,40 . 6MWT is a reliable measure for motor function in multiple studies which have shown a significant improvement in CHF patients 41,42 .…”

The Application of Cycling and Cycling Combined with Feedback in the Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients: A Review

“…20 This type of information can be presented by graphical elements, such as numbers, bars, or graphs. 7,[15][16][17][18][19]55,78 Different studies have demonstrated that stroke patients can benefit from receiving visual feedback about different sources, such as weight distribution and weight shift, 55,68 training velocity, 15 force output. 18 and EMG activity.…”

“…18 and EMG activity. 17,75,78 For instance, Sackley et al 55 found significant improvements in stance symmetry and sway, motor function, and ADLs compared with a control group after a 4-week exercise program with visual feedback about weight distribution and shift displayed on a computer screen (Fig 1) while performing balance tasks on a balance platform.…”

Biomechanical assessments of the effect of visual feedback on cycling for patients with stroke

“…Furthermore, it is not uncommon to study the effects of visual feedback about the overall task performance using EMG as the outcome variable to represent neuromuscular control (Brindle et al, 2006;Kojovic et al, 2011), since improvement in task performance typically results from better neuromuscular control. For cycling, cadence is a straightforward indicator of cycling performance and thus can be easily comprehended for patients of various education and cognitive background.…”
