The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of a novel ECC-overload flywheel resistance exercise paradigm to induce muscle and functional performance adaptations in chronic stroke patients.<\/p>\n<p>Methods: Twelve patients (~8 years after stroke onset) performed 4 sets of 7 coupled concentric (CON) and ECC actions using the affected limb on a flywheel leg press (LP) device twice weekly for 8 weeks. Maximal CON and ECC isokinetic torque at 30, 60 and 90\u00b0\/s, isometric knee extension and LP force, and CON and ECC peak power in LP were measured before and after training. Balance (Berg Balance Scale, BBS), gait (6-Min Walk test, 6MWT; Timed-Up-and-Go, TUG), functional performance (30-s Chair-Stand Test, 30CST), spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale) and perceived participation (Stroke Impact Scale, SIS) were also determined.<\/p>\n<p>Results: CON and ECC peak power increased in both the trained affected (34 and 44%; P &lt; 0.01), and the untrained, non-affected leg (25 and 34%; P &lt; 0.02). Power gains were greater (P = 0.008) for ECC than CON actions. ECC isokinetic torque at 60 and 90\u00b0\/s increased in the affected leg (P &lt; 0.04). The increase in isometric LP force for the trained, affected leg across tests ranged 10-20% (P &lt; 0.05). BBS (P = 0.004), TUG (P = 0.018), 30CST (P = 0.024) and SIS (P = 0.058) scores improved after training. 6MWT and spasticity remained unchanged.<\/p>\n<p>Conclusions: This novel, short-term ECC-overload flywheel RE training regime emerges as a valid, safe and viable method to improve muscle function, balance, gait and functional performance in men and women suffering from chronic stroke.<\/p>\n<p>Keywords: Balance, Bilateral asymmetry, Muscle strength, Neuro-rehabilitation<\/p>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-0  avia-builder-el-no-sibling ' ><a href='https:\/\/einercial.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/2014_Chronic-stroke-patients-eccentric-overload-flywheel.pdf' class='avia-button  avia-color-theme-color   avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left ' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Seguir leyendo en PDF<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background: Resistance exercise comprising eccentric (ECC) muscle actions enhances muscle strength and function to aid stroke patients in conducting daily tasks.
