Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to verify the association between pre-stroke physical fitness and acute ischemic stroke (AIS) outcomes.
Methods
Forty patients were evaluated within a window of 72 h was used for assessments. Stroke outcomes were analyzed by two scales: the modified Rankin Scale for the global outcome, and the Motor Assessment Score for the motor outcome. Thereafter, patients performed two physical fitness tests to evaluate pre-stroke function: the handgrip strength test and the 30-s arm curl test.
Results
Arm curl performance and handgrip strength were associated with stroke global outcome (arm curl performance R2 = 0.353; p < 0.001; handgrip strength R2 = 0.275; p = 0.001) and motor outcome (arm curl performance R2 = 0.223; p = 0.002; handgrip strength R2 = 0.199; p = 0.004).
Conclusion
Pre-stroke physical fitness is related to better global and motor stroke outcomes. Future studies could confirm if these associations between pre-stroke physical fitness and stroke outcomes can predict the long-term sequelae after an event.
