Chair-Stand Exercise Improves Sarcopenia in Rehabilitation Patients after Stroke

Abstract: Currently, there is a lack of evidence to show that exercise therapy improves sarcopenia in older patients in clinical practice. We therefore conducted a retrospective cohort study to clarify the effects of chair-stand exercise on improving sarcopenia among patients diagnosed with sarcopenia undergoing convalescent rehabilitation after stroke. According to the latest Asian criteria, sarcopenia was diagnosed when both skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) and handgrip strength (HGS) were low. Patients were asked to … Show more

“…Furthermore, pre-stroke sarcopenia is also associated with poor functional outcomes [ 4 , 5 ]. Therefore, evaluating muscle mass and function among stroke patients is important [ 6 , 7 ], and aggressive nutrition therapy [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], deprescribing [ 11 ], and rehabilitation [ 12 , 13 ] re applicable for those with stroke, as well as those at high risk for muscle loss.…”

“…For example, physical therapy includes paralyzed limb facilitation (for leg paralysis), range-of-motion exercises, basic movement training (mainly for the legs and body), walking, resistance (e.g., chair-stand exercises), and ADL trainings [ 11 ]. In addition to the individualized structured rehabilitation program, patients underwent a chair-standing exercise, a group-based repetition of the task of sit-to-stand from a chair, in two sessions per day as low-intensity resistance training [ 23 ]. Each session lasted 20 min, and the participants were asked to perform a continuous sit-to-stand task up to 120 times at a tempo of about once every 8 s. The frequency and degree of increase in chair-standing exercise varied depending on the ability and endurance of each patient.…”
