OBJECTIVE
Muscle wasting is a common complication accompanying stroke. Although it is known to impair poststroke recovery, the mechanisms of subacute catabolism after stroke have not been investigated in detail. The aim of this study is to investigate mechanisms of local and systemic catabolism and
The association between prestroke sarcopenia and stroke severity has not been evaluated previously. The purpose of this study was to determine whether prestroke sarcopenia is associated with stroke severity in elderly patients with acute stroke.We assessed The aim of the present study was to clarify the relationship between sarcopenia, as defined by the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People, and the recovery of the capability to carry out activities of daily living in convalescent stroke patients who completed a OBJECTIVE
Sarcopenia, the loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength, develops with aging and may be a pivotal risk factor in individual cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). We examined whether sarcopenia was positively associated with the prevalence of CVDs, including angina pectoris, myocardial
Stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in Western countries. More than 60% of patients remain disabled, 50% of patients suffer from some hemiparesis and 30% remain unable to walk without assistance. The skeletal muscle is the main effector organ accountable
Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by progressive systemic muscle loss and decreased function. The loss of systemic muscle mass and decreased function after stroke can't be explained by brain injury alone, and it is considered to be a kind of secondary sarcopenia, which is called stroke-related
Sarcopenia is characterized by muscle wasting and is primarily a disease of the elderly. A stroke-specific sarcopenia has been described recently. Stroke-related sarcopenia has a number of features that distinguish it from the age-related sarcopenia. The disability from stroke depends on the brain
The association between prestroke sarcopenia and functional outcomes in patients who have had a stroke has not, to our knowledge, been evaluated to date. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of prestroke sarcopenia, and determine whether prestroke sarcopenia is associated with OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a leucine-enriched amino acid supplement on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in post-stroke patients with sarcopenia.
METHODS
We conducted an eight-wk, two-parallel group intervention, randomized controlled, blinded
Stroke is the second leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in Western countries. More than 60% of patients remain disabled, 50% of patients suffer from hemiparesis and 30% remain unable to walk without assistance. The skeletal muscle is the main effector organ accountable for
Objective: The aim of our study was to investigate how systemic inflammation relates to sarcopenia and its impact on functional outcomes in the recovery stages of stroke.
Methods:
Objective: Intervention for treating sarcopenia is of great concern in clinical settings. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between changes in skeletal muscle mass and functional outcomes in patients with
To investigate variables for assessment of stroke-related sarcopenia that are alternative options to the current assessment for sarcopenia, which focuses on age-related sarcopenia and also has limitations in addressing sarcopenia due to weakness resulting from Objectives: Although the skeletal muscle is the main effector of disability in stroke, evidence on post-stroke skeletal muscle is scarce; especially, the prevalence of stroke-related sarcopenia remains unclear. Thus, we aimed to
OBJECTIVE
The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of stroke-related sarcopenia and its association with poor oral status in post-acute stroke patients.
METHODS
This cross-sectional study included 202 consecutive stroke patients who were admitted to convalescent rehabilitation wards in
