| Popis: | Ballaz L, Fusco N, Cretual A, Langella B, Brissot R. Acute peripheral blood flow response induced by passive leg cycle exercise in people with spinal cord injury. Objective To determine the acute femoral artery hemodynamic response in paraplegic subjects during a passive leg cycle exercise. Design Case series. Setting Department of physical medicine and rehabilitation in a university in France. Participants A volunteer sample of 15 people with traumatic spinal cord injury. Intervention Subjects performed a 10-minute session of passive leg cycle exercise in the sitting position. Main Outcome Measures We measured heart rate, maximal (Vmax), and minimal femoral artery blood flow velocity at rest and immediately after the passive leg cycle exercise, using quantitative duplex Doppler ultrasound. We calculated mean blood flow velocity (Vmean) and velocity index, representing the peripheral resistance, for each condition. Results Vmax and Vmean increased (from .80±.18m/s to .96±.24m/s, P P P =.038). Conclusions The results of this study suggest that acute passive leg cycle exercise increases vascular blood flow velocity in paralyzed legs of people with paraplegia. This exercise could have clinical implications for immobilized persons. |
