RESUMO

PURPOSE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between physical activity (PA) levels and short-term changes in skeletal muscle characteristics in patients with subacute hemiparetic stroke. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective observational study included 76 patients with stroke who received inpatient care in a convalescent rehabilitation ward. The PA level was measured as the duration of daily total PA (≥ 1.5 metabolic equivalents) using a triaxial accelerometer for 7 days after admission. The outcomes were changes in the quadriceps muscle quality and quantity on the affected and unaffected sides, as assessed by ultrasonography at admission and 1 month after admission. RESULTS: Multiple regression analysis indicated that the duration of total PA was significantly associated with a percentage change in quadriceps muscle quality (p = 0.011) and quantity (p = 0.012) on the affected side. However, no significant relationship was observed between the muscle quality and quantity on the unaffected side. CONCLUSIONS: The results revealed that PA was associated with changes in the quadriceps muscle quality and quantity on the affected side in patients with subacute hemiparetic stroke. These findings highlight the importance of promoting PA in stroke rehabilitation to improve muscle properties and functional outcomes.


Improving skeletal muscle quality and quantity is an important goal in post-stroke rehabilitation.We investigated physical activity and post-stroke changes in muscle properties.Physical activity is related to changes in muscle quantity and quality on the affected side.Promoting physical activity is essential for improving muscle quantity and quality on the affected side.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The extent of rehabilitation is a key element in promoting functional recovery in patients with stroke. However, the type of rehabilitation therapy that should be provided to improve functional outcomes remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of three different rehabilitation provision systems, namely conventional rehabilitation therapy, conventional rehabilitation therapy plus physical therapy (PT) on weekends, and conventional rehabilitation therapy plus PT and occupational therapy (OT) on weekends, on functional recovery in patients with subacute stroke. DESIGN: Retrospective observational cohort study. SETTING: Convalescence rehabilitation hospital. PATIENTS: Three hundred one patients with subacute stroke (mean age, 69.7 ± 12.8 years). INTERVENTIONS: Patients were classified into three groups according to rehabilitation therapy they received: a conventional group (only weekdays PT and OT; n = 70), an additional PT group (additional PT on weekends; n = 119), and an additional PT + OT group (additional PT and OT on weekends; n = 112). MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Functional Independence Measure (FIM) effectiveness was calculated as (discharge FIM - admission FIM/maximum FIM - admission FIM) × 100. A multivariate general linear model was used to assess the difference in FIM effectiveness among the groups. RESULTS: The mean FIM effectiveness in the conventional, additional PT, and additional PT + OT groups were 39.3 ± 30.1, 43.4 ± 33.2, and 54.3 ± 29.1, respectively. The multivariate analysis revealed a significant difference in FIM effectiveness among the three groups (p = .036), and the ηp 2 was 0.02, indicating a small effect. The additional PT + OT group showed significantly greater improvements in FIM effectiveness than the conventional group (mean difference = 8.78, SE = 3.58, 95% confidence interval: 0.17-17.39). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the additional PT + OT group had better functional recovery than did the conventional group. This indicates that increasing the amount of both PT and OT can promote poststroke functional recovery.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of unilateral spatial neglect with or without other cognitive impairments on recovery of independent gait in stroke survivors. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study. SUBJECTS: Ninety-four stroke survivors in an inpatient rehabilitation ward. METHODS: The presence of unilateral spatial neglect was assessed by the visuospatial perception score of the Stroke Impairment Assessment Set, and other cognitive impairments were assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination. Participants were categorized into 3 groups: group 1, unilateral spatial neglect with other cognitive impairments; group 2, unilateral spatial neglect without other cognitive impairments; and group 3, non-unilateral spatial neglect. The outcome was the walking score of the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at discharge (score ≥ 6 or ≤ 5). RESULTS: Multivariate logistic regression analysis (reference, group 3) showed that the presence of unilateral spatial neglect with other cognitive impairments (group 1) had a significant association with dependence of gait (p = 0.003), and the odds ratio (95% confidence interval) was 5.55 (1.19-23.04). In contrast, there was no significant relationship between the presence of unilateral spatial neglect without other cognitive impairments (group 2) and dependence of gait (p = 0.207). CONCLUSION: The presence of unilateral spatial neglect without other cognitive impairments is not a significant factor for regaining independent gait. In contrast, unilateral spatial neglect becomes a strong negative factor when combined with other cognitive impairments.

RESUMO

Predicting functional recovery is important for the rehabilitation of stroke patients. This study aimed to examine the predictive validity of motor items of Functional Independence Measure (motor-FIM) using the prediction method based on a logarithmic model. This prospective observational cohort study included 111 patients with subacute stroke (mean age: 67.0±13.8 years). The motor-FIM score was assessed at admission, 1 month after admission, and at discharge. We calculated the predictive value of motor-FIM scores at discharge using a logarithmic model, which used only motor-FIM scores at admission and 1 month after admission. The relationship between the actual motor-FIM score at discharge and the predictive value was assessed with the intraclass correlation coefficient. The motor-FIM score at admission, 1 month after admission, and at discharge, and the predictive value were 41.9±15.0, 52.3±18.4, 66.0±18.8, and 65.1±21.2, respectively. The predictive value was highly correlated with the actual motor-FIM score at discharge (intraclass correlation coefficient=0.89). Our results suggest that we can use the prediction method based on a logarithmic model for predicting the motor-FIM score at discharge. This may be useful for designing rehabilitation programs for patients with subacute stroke.

RESUMO

The long-term prognosis of unilateral spatial neglect (USN) in three elderly patients with stroke was investigated. Case 1 was a 62-year-old man who had suffered from right putaminal hemorrhage three years ago. Obvious right USN was found soon after the onset. After 6 months of rehabilitation he recovered and became independent in ADL without USN signs in daily circumstances. However, left USN signs appeared in some stressful situations such as traditional poetry-based competition or driving an electrical wheelchair on crowded roads. Case 2 was a 62-year-old man who had suffered from cerebral hemorrhage in the right putamen 6 years ago. He showed left USN soon after the onset, but it disappeared gradually. Cerebral infarction in the left basal ganglia occurred 6 years after the first attack. He showed decline of general attention accompanying left USN. Case 3 was a 70-year-old man who had showed left USN signs 7 years previously. He became independent and disappeared USN signs. However his activities of daily living declined gradually, and mental status became worse. Left USN signs were observed again on USN tests. Left USN was observed in three cases soon after the onset of the first stroke and then disappeared. However, USN signs became obvious in some specific situations. The appearance or disappearance of USN seemed to depend on the relationship among severity of USN, physical and mental functions, and circumstances in which USN was evaluated.
