Oxygen uptake response to cycle ergometry in post-acute stroke patients with different severity of hemiparesis

This study evaluated the impact of severity of hemiparesis on oxygen uptake (V˙O2) response in post-acute stroke patients. Sixty-four patients with a mean poststroke interval of 8.6 ± 3.8 days underwent a ramp cardiopulmonary exercise test on a cycling ergometer to volitional termination. Mean peak...
