Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,372 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke. DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
To investigate effects of a 12-week movement-to-music (M2M) intervention on physical and psychosocial outcomes in people poststroke.
Two-arm randomized controlled trial.
A community-based fitness facility.
Participants (N=47) with stroke between 18 and 65 years old were randomized to M2M (n=23) or waitlist control (n=24).
Participants in M2M completed three 60-minute exercise sessions per week for 12 weeks. Controls received biweekly educational newsletters via mail.
Primary outcomes included Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT, in meters), Five Times Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST, in seconds) and Timed Up and Go (TUG, in seconds). Secondary outcomes were self-reported measures using PROMIS Fatigue and Pain Interference Short Form 8a. Outcomes were collected at baseline and post-intervention. Analyses involved descriptive statistics and adjusted linear mixed models.
Mixed models adjusted for the respective baseline values and demographic variables showed that M2M participants had longer 6MWT distance (LSM difference [95% CI]=14.5 [-12.9, 42.0]), more FTSST time (2.0 [-4.5, 8.5]), and less fatigue (-3.0 [-7.2, 1.2]) compared to control post-intervention. When controlling for baseline TUG and demographic variables, there were larger increase in 6MWT distance (37.9 [-22.7, 98.6]), lower FTSST time (-6.1 [-18.5, 6.2]), and decrease in fatigue (-6.5 [-13.1, 0.2]) in M2M compared to controls. Moderate effect sizes were observed for improving 6MWT (d=0.6), FTSST (d=-0.6), and fatigue (d=-0.6). There was no group difference in change in TUG time and pain interference, with trivial effect sizes (d=-0.1).
Movement-to-music may be a valuable exercise form for adults with stroke. Future studies are needed to determine optimal exercise doses for improving health and function in this population.
