Optimal resistance exercise training parameters for stroke recovery: A protocol for a systematic review.

ABSTRACT: Stroke impacts nearly 14 million people annually. Muscle strength and physical function are often affected by stroke and important determinants of stroke recovery. Resistance exercise training (RT) has been shown to improve muscle strength, but RT prescriptions may be suboptimal for other aspects of stroke recovery. Parameters such as frequency, intensity, type, and duration may influence the effectiveness of RT interventions but have not been systematically evaluated. 1) To determine the effects of RT on stroke recovery, and 2) to examine the influence of RT parameters on intervention effects. Randomized controlled trials examining the effects of RT will be eligible for this systematic review if they: 1) included only adults with stroke or transient ischemic attack, 2) compared RT to no e
