Abstract

|
|
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the differences in segmental body composition between affected and unaffected extremities using segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) in patients following hemiplegic stroke.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the segmental BIA results of hospitalized hemiplegic patients after stroke. Body composition was assessed by segmental BIA in the 213 subjects. Segmental lean mass was (SLM) shown as both left- and right- upper and lower extremities.
Results: SLM values in total subjects, affected and unaffected upper extremities were 2.44 ± 0.68 kg and 2.47 ± 0.74 kg, affected and unaffected lower extremities were 6.89 ± 1.62 kg and 6.90 ± 1.68 kg. No significant differences were observed between the affected and unaffected upper extremities and lower extremities in total subject. There was no significant difference between affected and unaffected extremities in three subgroups.
Conclusions: There was no significant difference in body composition between affected and unaffected upper and lower extremities in acute to chronic hemiplegic stroke, measured by segmental BIA. Rehabilitation might maintain body composition in the affected side, however further multicenter longitudinal studies are required to confirm any effects of rehabilitation.
