| Sumario: | Abstract This study examined the association of sleep with inflammation and oxidative stress biomarkers, and with functional outcomes, after stroke rehabilitation. The rehabilitation effects on biomarkers and functional outcomes were also evaluated. Twenty subacute stroke survivors received 4 weeks of upper limb rehabilitation. Baseline inflammatory (i.e., soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1, sICAM-1) and oxidative stress biomarkers (i.e., glutathione peroxidase, GPx and malondialdehyde, MDA) were assessed, as were sleep outcomes. Positive correlations were observed between baseline level of sICAM-1 and number of awakenings at post-treatment (ρ = 0.51, p < 0.05) as well as between baseline level of MDA and post-performance time of the Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT-time) (ρ = 0.46, p < 0.05). In addition, MDA levels were significantly decreased, and functional outcomes of the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), functional ability scale of the WMFT, and Stroke Impact Scale (SIS-total, and SIS-physical function) were improved after the rehabilitation. This pilot study emphasizes the relationship among biomarkers, sleep, and functional outcomes after stroke rehabilitation. Oxidative stress markers may be useful predictors of functional outcomes in subacute stroke survivors. |
