Feasibility of Adapted Aerobic Cycle Ergometry Tasks to Encourage Paretic Limb Use After Stroke: A Case Series
Abstract
Cardiorespiratory fitness, along with sensorimotor recovery, is important for optimal function after stroke. Development of exercises that simultaneously address aerobic training and increase paretic limb involvement may improve outcomes and maximize productivity of therapy sessions. This case series assessed the feasibility of and characterized the cardiorespiratory and sensorimotor demands of adapted aerobic cycle ergometer activities …
