Brief Summary: Stroke a leading cause of disability in the aging population increases the risk for diabetes subsequent stroke recurrence and cardiovascular disease complications The downsizing of private and federal health care resources along with the anticipated increase in stroke rates as our population ages mandate that alternative strategies be developed to reduce the public health burden of stroke This pilot study may facilitate our knowledge of the timing of paretic leg muscle atrophy fiber type shift and the progression of worsening of glucose tolerance after stroke Knowledge of the skeletal muscle changes occurring in the sub-acute stroke period is essential to create new guidelines incorporating exercise rehabilitation much like cardiac rehabilitation in order to facilitate and improve the health care of veteran stroke survivors
Detailed Description: The vast majority of cerebrovascular accidents are reported in persons older than 55 years of age and occur in over 780000 persons each year in the US As our adult population ages the number of strokes in the United States is anticipated to double reaching nearly 15 million annually by the year 2050 Following stroke patients remain at continued high risk for recurrent stroke with almost a third of them suffering recurrent stroke within 5 years even despite optimal medical management Age and cardiac disease are among the most important longitudinal predictors of cardiovascular health outcomes and survival after stroke Notably 75 of chronic stroke survivors have residual disability emphasizing the need for rehabilitation strategies

Knowledge of the skeletal muscle changes that occur in the early phases after stroke is essential to create new guidelines which incorporate exercise rehabilitation much like cardiac rehabilitation in order to facilitate and improve the health care of stroke survivors
