Effects of extra chair-upright exercise on cardiopulmonary health in geriatric stroke patients with severe hemiplegia
Objective:To investigate the effects of extra chair-upright exercise on cardiopulmonary health of stroke patients with severe hemiplegia in geriatric department.Methods:71 patients with stroke in geriatric department were selected and divided into observation group(36 cases)and control group(35 cases).Both groups received routine treatment and training,and observation group received additional chair-upright exercise.Forced vital capacity(FVC),1s forced expiratory volume(FEV1),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),peak oxygen uptake(VO2peak),peak minute ventilation(VE peak),6 were compared between the two groups before and after intervention min walking test(6MWT),total power of flexion and extension knee joint(TW),peak moment(PT)and relative peak moment(PT/W).Results:After intervention,the levels of FVC,FEV1,LVEF,VO2peak,VE peak,TW,PT,PT/W and 6MWT in observation group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:The extra chair-stand exercise can improve the cardiopulmonary function and muscle strength in geriatric patients with severe hemiplegia.
