Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness after Inspiratory Threshold Loading in Healthy Adults
Cardiopulmonary Physical Therapy Journal
Author(s):
Sunita Mathur, A. William Sheel, Jeremy D. Road, W. Darlene Reid
Abstract:
Purpose: Skeletal muscle damage occurs following highintensity or unaccustomed exercise; however, it is difficult to monitor damage to the respiratory muscles, particularly in humans. The aim of this study was to use clinical measures to investigate the presence of skeletal muscle damage in the inspiratory muscles. Methods: Ten healthy subjects underwent 60 minutes of voluntary inspiratory threshold loading (ITL) at 70% of maximal inspiratory pressure. Maximal inspiratory and expiratory mouth pr

Author(s):
Brittany Pollentier, Sonya L. Irons, Courtney Mafredi Benedetto, Anne-Marie DeBenedetto, Dana Loton, Rebecca Diane Seyler, Mira Tych, Roberta A. Newton
Abstract:
Purpose: To evaluate the reliability and validity of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) with respect to its ability to predict functional capacity in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods: A systematic review was performed via 8 databases to assess relevant English language full-text articles published from January 1, 1980 to October 31, 2009. Participant characteristics, interventions, reliability, validity, and predictive value for each article with respect to functional capacity as define

Cardiovascular Regulations after Stroke: Evidence of Impairment, Trainability, and Implications for Rehabilitation
Author(s):
Sandra Billinger, PT, PhD
Abstract:
Purpose: To discuss the role of the vascular system and regulation of blood flow delivery in individuals with chronic stroke. This paper will discuss mechanisms of blood flow, vascular remodeling in chronic stroke, exercise as an intervention to improve blood flow delivery, and the role of physical therapy practice in promoting exercise. Key Points: Evidence suggests that people with chronic stroke may experience reduced blood flow and decreased arterial diameter in the hemiparetic limb.
