Background: This study investigated the association between segmental phase angles and functional outcomes in patients after stroke, hypothesizing that increased segmental phase angle correlates with improved functional status.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of 1012 patients after stroke was conducted. Whole body and segmental phase angles were measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis within 3 days of admission.
Background: Evidence is scarce regarding prognostic value of site-specific muscle mass in geriatric stroke survivors. We aim to assess the association between four measures of muscle mass, namely the skeletal muscle mass index of the limbs (SMI), upper limb SMI (USMI), lower limb SMI (LSMI), and trunk muscle mass index (TMI), and the functional prognosis in stroke patients.
Methods: This study conducted a retrospective cohort analysis involving post-acute stroke inpatients.
Objectives: There is a lack of evidence regarding the association between whole-body exercise and independence in urination and defecation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of chair-stand exercise on improving urination and defecation independence in post-stroke patients with sarcopenia.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on stroke patients admitted to a community rehabilitation hospital between 2015 and 2021.
Purpose: Evidence is scarce on the associations between impaired oral health and cognitive level related to independence in activities of daily living (ADLs) among hospitalized older patients. We aimed to evaluate the associations between baseline oral problems and changes in cognitive level in post-stroke patients.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, encompassing consecutively hospitalized post-stroke patients.
Purpose: Evidence is scarce regarding the association between anemia and alterations in cognitive level among hospitalized older patients. We aimed to evaluate the associations between baseline hemoglobin (Hb) levels and changes in cognitive level in patients undergoing rehabilitation after stroke.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, encompassing consecutively hospitalized post-stroke patients.
Background: Systemic inflammation is associated with poor functional outcomes. However, the effects of improved inflammation on functional indicators remain unclear. This study aimed to clarify the relationship between improvements in systemic inflammation and activities of daily living in patients after stroke.

We aimed to investigate the associations between hyponatremia and the baseline cognitive status, as well as the improvement in cognitive function, in hospitalized post-stroke patients.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive hospitalized post-stroke patients.
Purpose: Oral problems and muscle health are indeed significant concerns in ageing populations. However, there is limited evidence concerning the association between these issues. The study's focus was to investigate the association between oral problems and sarcopenic obesity, wherein sarcopenia and obesity coexist concurrently, in post-stroke patients.

Aim: This study examined the association between increased anticholinergic burden during hospitalization and urinary independence in post-stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation.
Aim: There is limited evidence concerning the association between anemia and alterations in muscle health among hospitalized older patients. We aimed to evaluate the associations between baseline hemoglobin (Hb) levels and changes in muscle function in patients undergoing rehabilitation after stroke.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included consecutive hospitalized post-stroke patients.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a leucine-enriched amino acid supplement on muscle mass, muscle strength, and physical function in post-stroke patients with sarcopenia.
Methods: We conducted an eight-wk, two-parallel group intervention, randomized controlled, blinded outcome assessment among 44 post-stroke older patients with sarcopenia. Sarcopenia was defined as a loss of skeletal muscle mass and decreased muscle strength according to the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia criteria.
