Functional strength training intervention (i.e., performing resistive exercises during the performance of a functional task) effectively increases muscle strength in stroke survivors(8) –Progressive resistance training exercises have long-term benefits in patients with chronic stroke(8,13) › Results of studies regarding the implementation of structured cardiovascular exercise programs for patients following a stroke have demonstrated high-intensity interval training as a potential effective alternative to the current moderate-intensitycontinues exercise stroke rehabilitation programs in reducing cardiovascular risk because they(4) • maximize physical capabilities (e.g., muscle endurance, gait)(4,6) • decrease cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., blood sugar, cholesterol)(6) • improve cognitive and executive functions (e.g., working memory, attention)(6) • improve aerobic exercise capacity (i.e., a measurement of the body’s ability to utilize oxygen)(3,6,11) › There are several barriers to widespread use of structured cardiovascular exercise programs(2) • Lack of experience and insufficient training on psychological problems associated with post-stroke patients(2) • Deficient equipment and/or lack of access to adequate equipment necessary for post-stroke training programs(2) Published by Cinahl Information Systems, a division of EBSCO Information Services.

Cinahl Information Systems, 1509 Wilson Terrace, Glendale, CA 91206 › In results of clinical trials • cardiovascular exercise was found to be superior to no intervention in improving cardiorespiratory endurance, gait recovery, independence in ADLs, and quality of life (e.g., as demonstrated by improved ability to move and increased sense of independence)(4) –Walking on a treadmill while submerged in water resulted in greater improvement in gait recovery, balance, leg strength, muscle spasticity, and cardiovascular function than standard treadmill walking and other overground gait therapies(5,9) › There is evidence to support the use of strengthening and cardiovascular exercise to • increase walking speed(13,14) • reduce the amount of assistance required while walking(13) • increase muscle strength(6,14) • improve functional performance(6) • increase endurance(6) • decrease patient anxiety(6) › Improvement in gait, ADLs, and strength are • greater with –moderate-intensity continues exercise time (e.g., > 30 minutes), or high-intensity short-interval training lasting 1-4 minute(4) –social support from family members(12) –exercise that is related daily activities (e.g., practicing sit-to-stand)(4,6) What We Can Do › Become knowledgeable about the benefits of cardiovascular and strengthening exercise following stroke so you can provide guidance to patients and their family members following stroke; share this information with your colleagues › Request referral to physical therapy for patient evaluation and formulation of an individualized regimen of cardiovascular and strengthening exercises; inform the physical therapy clinician about the scope of your patient’s physical deficits so he/ she can appropriately individualize the patient’s therapy-related needs › Evaluate your patients for obstacles to performing exercise following stroke, which can include • lack of social support • psychological and cognitive issues, as stroke-induced cognitive impairment is often associated with physical dysfunction and delayed recovery(3) • poor medical status and/or comorbidities › Request referral to a social worker, if appropriate, for identification of local resources that will assist your patient in overcoming obstacles to exercise, including support groups, transportation, subsidized mental health counseling, in-home services, and durable medical equipment sources if assistive devices are needed › To promote quality of care and avoid injury, rehabilitation professionals should • carefully tailor the treatment plan for each patient following stroke according to the patient’s –extent and type of impairment –goals –prior functional level –medical status • modify the treatment plan based on consistent monitoring of the patient’s –vital signs –functional progress –level of musculoskeletal pain • arrange for short sessions of activity with frequent rests • incorporate low resistance and fewer repetitions, when appropriate • use caution when adding new activities • consistently monitor for pain Coding Matrix References are rated using the following codes, listed in order of strength: M Published meta-analysis SR Published systematic or integrative literature review RCT Published research (randomized controlled trial) R Published research (not randomized controlled trial) RV Published review of the literature RU Published research utilization report QI Published quality improvement report L Legislation C Case histories, case studies PGR Published government report G Published guidelines PFR Published funded report PP Policies, procedures, protocols X Practice exemplars, stories, opinions GI General or background information/texts/reports U Unpublished research, reviews, poster presentations or other such materials CP Conference proceedings, abstracts, presentation References 1.
