Abstract
[Purpose] To investigate the hemodynamic change after exercise load of stroke patients, focusing on overlaps of comorbidity. [Subjects] Nineteen stroke patients. [Methods] The subject performed a warm-up, and muscle strength and muscle power were measured by a recumbent type ergometer. Blood pressure was measured at rest before exercise and after each exercise, and was initially analyzed without consideration of comorbidities, followed by comparisons to determine whether or not there were overlaps of hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia. [Results] The systolic blood pressure after each exercise showed no significant difference from at rest, but the average blood pressure after muscle power measurement was significantly higher than after the other exercises. In addition, in cases with overlap of hypertension and dyslipidemia, average blood pressure was significantly higher. [Conclusion] The results suggest it is important to evaluate the hemodynamic change after exercise with consideration of comorbidities.
