Paretic knee extensor strength, gait velocity, and fat mass are major determinants of peak aerobic capacity in subacute stroke: observational cohort study

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate major determinants of peak aerobic capacity in subacute stroke patients among body composition, balance function, walking capacity, and lower limb muscular strength. This was a retrospective observational cohort study. Eighty-three subacute stroke...

In backward linear regression analyses, paretic isometric extensor strength (p < 0.001), fat mass (p = 0.005) and 10MWV (p < 0.001) are significantly correlated with peak aerobic capacity (adjusted R2 = 0.499) in all patients.
