Physiological mechanisms associated with fatigue in individuals with stroke
- Conditions
- Stroke
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000029953
- Lead Sponsor
- Tokyo Bay Rehabilitation Hospital
- Brief Summary
A higher Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) score was significantly associated with a delayed increase in oxygen uptake at the onset of exercise (rho = 0.530; p = 0.009), but not oxygen uptake at peak exercise (rho = -0.264; p = 0.224). In addition, a higher FSS score was correlated with a delayed increase in cardiac output at the onset of exercise (rho = 0.476, p = 0.022).
