Prestroke VO < sub > 2 < /sub > max by the Jurca prediction index as a predictor of functional outcomes in stroke patients

CONCLUSIONS: Prestroke CPF likely affects the stability of core muscles that are related to PCF and the functional status, including balance function and ADL after stroke. Regular exercise to increase the CPF level should be encouraged in patients with risk factors for stroke, not only for primary prevention but also for functional improvement after stroke.PMID:33823741 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2021.1911747
