Compensatory rehabilitation limits motor recovery after stroke
How does your doctor reconcile this:
but
high-intensity strength training on the less-affected side could have
remarkable potential for helping recover mobility after a stroke, new
UVic research indicates.
with this new information:
My physiatrist insisted that any strengthening exercise must be done on both sides, but I never asked him why. Too bad I haven't always done that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the fact that one study was done on intentionally injured rats (for experimental purposes), and the other used humans who actually had strokes, has anything to do with the discrepancy.
