Abstract

[Purpose] We investigated the effect of exercise intervention and nutrition management on an arterial stiffness related index and physical function in stroke patients. [Subjects] Subjects were sixteen community-living stroke patients. [Methods] Exercise intervention that consisted of a two-hour program was performed twice a week for three months. Nutrition management was performed by nutrition managers during the intervention. We measured the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI), and the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) to assess the arterial function. Other measurements included gait speed, grip strength, Functional Reach Test (FRT), Timed Up and Go Test (TUG), and Sit-to-stand Test. [Results] In arterial function, CAVI of the affected side was significantly improved after intervention. There was no significant difference in ABI. In physical function, FRT and TUG were significantly improved. [Conclusion] These results suggest that an interdisciplinary intervention consisting of exercise and nutrition management was effective at not only improving physical function but also arterial function.<br>
