To assess the reliability of 6 gait performance tests in individuals with chronic mild to moderate post-stroke hemiparesis.An intra-rater (between occasions) test-retest study.Fifty men and women (mean age 58+/-6.4 years) 6-46 months post-stroke.The Timed "Up & Go" test, Comfortable Fast Gait Speed tests, Stair Climbing ascend descend 6-Minute Walk test were assessed 7 days apart. Reliability was evaluated intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC(2,1)), Bland Altman analysis, standard error...
Lexell JE, Downham DY: How to assess the reliability of measurements in rehabilitation. Am J Phys Med Rehabil 2005;84:719–723. To evaluate effects rehabilitation interventions, we need reliable measurements. The should also be sufficiently sensitive enable detection clinically important changes. In recent years, assessment clinical practice and medical research has developed from use correlation coefficients a comprehensive set statistical methods. this review, present methods that can used...
Abstract The effects of aging on the total number and size fibers, proportion distribution type 1 (slow twitch) 2 (fast fibers were studied in cross sections (15 μ thick) autopsied whole m. vastus lateralis from two age groups. Each group consisted six, previously physically healthy males (mean 72 ± years 30 6 years, respectively). muscles older individuals was 18% smaller ( P < 0.01) 25% lower than those young 364,000 50,000 vs 478,000 56,000). There was, however, no significant...
To describe the process and outcomes of using a new evidence base to develop scientific guidelines that specify type minimum dose exercise necessary improve fitness cardiometabolic health in adults with spinal cord injury (SCI).International.Using Appraisal Guidelines, Research Evaluation (AGREE) II reporting criteria, steps included (a) determining guidelines' scope; (b) conducting systematic review relevant literature; (c) holding three consensus panel meetings (European, Canadian...
In order to determine the total number of fibres and extent which relative occurrence different fibre types varies within m. vastus lateralis, 15 μm thick cross‐sections whole muscles were prepared. The type 1 2 was determined in every 48th square millimetre section, results thus obtained analysed using a computer program allowing an assessment bivariate data form contour plots. varied both proximal distal direction same muscle between individuals. No obvious correlation existed mean area...
Abstract The overall aim of this study was to assess the effects aging on satellite cell population. Muscle biopsies were taken from tibialis anterior muscle healthy, moderately active young (age range, 20–32 years; n = 31) and elderly 70–83 27) women men with comparable physical activity pattern. Satellite cells myonuclei visualized using a monoclonal antibody against neural adhesion molecule counterstained Mayer's hematoxylin. An average 211 (range, 192–241) fibers examined for each...
To evaluate the effects of progressive resistance training on muscle strength, tone, gait performance and perceived participation after stroke.A randomized controlled trial.Twenty-four subjects (mean age 61 years (standard deviation 5)) 6-48 months post-stroke.The group (n = 15) participated in supervised knee muscles (80% maximum) twice weekly for 10 weeks, control 9) continued their usual daily activities. Both groups were assessed before intervention at follow-up 5 months. Muscle strength...
Abstract The mechanisms underlying the increase in volume of muscle tissue, and functional development fibers from childhood through adolescence to adult age, have been studied. Cross sections autopsied whole vastus lateralis 22 previously physically healthy males, 5 37 years were prepared enzyme histochemically (myofibrillar ATPase) examined morphometrically. data obtained on crosssectional area, size, total number, proportion type 1 (slow‐twitch) 2 (fast‐twitch) analyzed using linear...
Physical exercise is known to be a beneficial factor by increasing the cellular stress tolerance. In ischemic stroke, physical suggested both limit brain injury and facilitate behavioral recovery. this study we investigated effect of on damage following global cerebral ischemia in mice. We aimed effects 4.5 weeks forced treadmill running prior neuronal damage, neuroinflammation its general measuring corticosterone feces. subjected C57bl/6 mice (n = 63) either or sedentary program induction...
To describe the incidence of injury in precompetition and competition periods Rio 2016 Summer Paralympic Games.A total 3657 athletes from 78 countries, representing 83.4% all at Games, were monitored on web-based illness surveillance system over 51 198 athlete days during Games. Injury data obtained daily teams with their own medical support.A 510 injuries reported 14-day Games period, an rate (IR) 10.0 per 1000 (12.1% surveyed). The highest IRs for football 5-a-side (22.5), judo (15.5)...
Abstract Background Many individuals with a spinal cord injury (SCI) have lived several decades their injury, leading to need for deeper understanding of factors associated healthy aging in people long‐term SCI. Objectives To (1) describe secondary health conditions, activity limitations, and life satisfaction older adults SCI, (2) investigate how sociodemographics, characteristics, conditions are limitations satisfaction. Design Cross‐sectional descriptive cohort study. Setting Home...
