Relative Aerobic Load of Daily Activities After Stroke
CONCLUSION: Individuals after stroke experience a high relative aerobic load during cyclic daily-life activities, despite adopting a slower movement pace than peers with no impairments. Perhaps individuals after stroke limit their movement pace to operate at sustainable relative aerobic load levels at the expense of pace and economy.IMPACT: Improving aerobic capacity through structured aerobic training in a rehabilitation program should be further investigated as a potential intervention to improve mobility and functioning after stroke.PMID:37172129 | PMC:PMC10071588 | DOI:10.1093/ptj/pzad005

The Interplay Between Walking Speed, Economy, and Stability After Stroke
CONCLUSIONS: People post-stroke appear to prefer walking speeds that are faster than their most stable speed but slower than their most economical speed. The preferred walking speed after stroke appears to balance stability and economy. To encourage faster and more economical walking, deficits in the stable control of the mediolateral motion of the pCoM may need to be addressed.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A416).PMID:36867550 | DOI:10.1097/NPT.0000000000000431

Alterations in Aerobic Exercise Performance and Gait Economy Following High-Intensity Dynamic Stepping Training in Persons With Subacute Stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: High-intensity stepping training may elicit significant improvements in (Equation is included in full-text article.)O2submax, whereas changes in both peak capacity and economy better reflect gains in walking function. Providing high-intensity training to improve locomotor and aerobic exercise performance may increase the efficiency of rehabilitation sessions.Video Abstract available for more insights from the authors (see Supplemental Digital Content, http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A142).
