Deans' stroke musings: Predictors of improved aerobic capacity in individuals with chronic stroke participating in cycling interventions

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Predictors of improved aerobic capacity in individuals with chronic stroke participating in cycling interventions

Oh, what stupidity. PREDICTION CRAPOLA RATHER THAN PROTOCOLS THAT INCREASE AEROBIC CAPACITY.

Abstract:

Study identified demographic and physiological factors that predict improvement in aerobic capacity among individuals with chronic stroke participating in cycling interventions. Forty-four participants were randomized to one of three interventions: (1) forced aerobic exercise and upper extremity repetitive task practice (UERTP), (2) voluntary aerobic exercise (VE) and UERTP, or (3) a nonaerobic control group. All interventions were time-matched and occurred 3 times per week for 8 weeks. The primary outcome was aerobic capacity as measured by peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak) per unit time during maximal cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing. Significant improvements in VO2peak were observed from baseline to postintervention in the VE+UERTP group. Considerable variability was observed among participants relating to postintervention change in VO2peak. Among aerobic exercise participants, a multivariate regression analysis revealed that cycling cadence, baseline VO2peak, and group allocation were significant predictors of change in VO2peak. High exercise rate (cycling cadence) appears to be an important variable in improving aerobic capacity and should be considered when prescribing aerobic exercise for individuals with chronic stroke. The findings suggest that those with low VO2peak at baseline may benefit the most from aerobic interventions as it relates to cardiorespiratory fitness.
