Strength and aerobic requirements during stair ambulation in persons with chronic stroke and healthy adults.

摘要: Abstract Novak AC, Brouwer B. Strength and aerobic requirements during stair ambulation in persons with chronic stroke healthy adults. Objective To estimate the cost of ascent descent relation to a measured standard strength metabolic (aerobic) capacities compared Design Descriptive cross-sectional study. Setting Motion analysis laboratory. Participants Persons (n=10) sex- age-matched older adults (n=10). Intervention Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Lower limb peak joint moments generated walking, expressed as percentage respective isokinetic torque, provided an relative cost. The oxygen consumed walking maximum consumption estimated from submaximal cycle ergometer test reflected ambulation. Results During ascent, plantarflexor was highest on affected side (stroke) less control subjects. costs associated knee extensors were (both sides) for both descent, similarly plantarflexors descent. No differences detected between sides. when ambulating 1 flight stairs comparable groups, but higher survivors because their lower capacity. Conclusions our knowledge, this is first study compare people controls. negotiation resulting primarily reduced capacities, respectively, may limit mobility.
