The Copenhagen Stroke Study found that patients that presented with ipsilateral pushing used 3.6 weeks more to reach the same functional outcome level on the Barthel Index, than did patients without ipsilateral pushing.
The researchers discovered that replacing a less active behavior, like sitting or standing, with five minutes of exercise could lower systolic blood pressure (the force of blood flow when blood is ...
