IntroductionConcerns exist that a potential mechanism for harm from upright activity (sitting, standing, and walking) early after an acute ischaemic stroke could be the reduction of cerebral perfusion during this critical phase. We aimed to estimate the effects of upright positions (sitting and standing) on cerebral hemodynamics within 48 h and later, 3–7 days post-stroke, in patients with strokes with and without occlusive disease and in controls.MethodsWe investigated MCAv using transcranial Doppler in 0° head position, then at 30°, 70°, 90° sitting, and 90° standing, at |
