Aerobic minutes and step number remain low in inpatient stroke rehabilitation - results from the usual care arm of the Walk ‘n Watch implementation trial conducted on the CanStroke Platform 🏥🧠 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

My last PhD study was just published looking at the perspectives of people post-stroke who completed a 12-week HIIT trial. People post-stroke describe that HIIT is empowering and enables meaningful engagement in both ADLs and IADLs. Check it out below: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

🔎 Study reveals a significant sex difference in achieving maximal oxygen uptake (˙VO2max) in CAD patients—89.7% of males vs. 71.3% of females. Females were 3x less likely to reach ˙VO2max or VT1. We need to explore alternative protocols and address the impacts of depressive symptoms on #CPET outcomes. ⬇️ onlinecjc.ca/article/S0828-… @SusanMarzolini #Cardiology #HealthEquity #CJC #OpenAccess

Honoured to be part of this amazing panel at #StrokeCongres to talk about #stroke in #women and how we are examining ways to boost representation in #clinicaltrials @adriaquigley Thanks @HeartandStroke for supporting the ORDER study

Terrific work by @ksnoguchi who used data from @clsa_elcv to study how much people with #stroke engage in #aerobic and #strengthening activities Out now in @JNPT ⬇️⬇️⤵️

So proud to share the main results of our @CIHR_IRSC funded Getting Older Adults Outdoors (GO-OUT) randomized trial of a park-based outdoor walk group program. Thank you @csep_scpe for partnering! link.springer.com/10.1186/s12877…

1. @Leanne_Hassett and I are very excited to share with you that the first ever Australian Physical Activity Clinical Practice Guideline for people with moderate to severe TBI have been published today! You can download the Guideline yourself here imh.org.au/bridges

Incredible work led by @kevinmoncion and @LyndenRodrigues under the @MacstrokeCan & @memorylab1 labs. Very happy to have been part of this. And yes, absolutely, intensity matters.

Short, intense bursts of exercise may improve stroke recovery. Ada Tang (@MacstrokeCan), senior author and assistant dean of Rehabilitation Science @SRSMcMasterU, spoke with @Healthline about the benefits of exercise for people living with stroke. ow.ly/RcPl50SUHmI
