Abstract
This study determined the characteristics of the phase angles (PhAs) of the trunk, affected limb, and unaffected limb at admission and their relationship with walking ability at discharge in patients with stroke and traumatic brain injury in a convalescent rehabilitation ward. Stroke and traumatic brain injury survivors with hemiplegia admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation ward were divided into independent- and dependent-walking groups. The trunk, affected limb, and unaffected limb PhAs were evaluated using bioelectrical impedance analysis and compared between the independent- and dependent-walking groups. Friedman's test was performed to analyze differences in the trunk, affected limb, and unaffected limb PhAs within each group. Multiple regression was performed to examine the association between walking ability and segmental PhAs. We enrolled 47 patients (independent-walking group: n = 12; dependent-walking group: n = 35). The dependent-walking group had a significantly lower trunk, affected limb, and unaffected limb PhAs. The segmental PhA was higher in the trunk than in the affected and unaffected limbs in the independent-walking group and lower in the affected limb than in the trunk and unaffected limb in the dependent-walking group. Only the trunk PhA at admission was significantly associated with walking ability at discharge (β = 0.367; P = 0.002). The trunk PhA at admission may be related to walking ability at discharge in patients undergoing stroke and traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Rehabilitation Research is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research into functioning, disability and contextual factors experienced by persons of all ages in both developed and developing societies. The wealth of information offered makes the journal a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and administrators in such fields as rehabilitation medicine, outcome measurement nursing, social and vocational rehabilitation/case management, return to work, special education, social policy, social work and social welfare, sociology, psychology, psychiatry assistive technology and environmental factors/disability. Areas of interest include functioning and disablement throughout the life cycle; rehabilitation programmes for persons with physical, sensory, mental and developmental disabilities; measurement of functioning and disability; special education and vocational rehabilitation; equipment access and transportation; information technology; independent living; consumer, legal, economic and sociopolitical aspects of functioning, disability and contextual factors.
