概要 OBJECTIVES:There is a lack of evidence regarding the association between whole-body exercise and independence in urination and defecation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of chair-stand exercise on improving urination and defecation independence in post-stroke patients with sarcopenia.METHODS:A retrospective study was conducted on stroke patients admitted to a community rehabilitation hospital between 2015 and 2021. Patients diagnosed with sarcopenia who required assistance with bladder and bowel management were included. The primary outcomes were the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) scores for urination (FIM-Bladder) and defecation (FIM-Bowel) at discharge. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the association between chair-stand exercise and the outcomes, adjusting for potential confounders.RESULTS:Of 586 patients, 187 patients (mean age 79.3 years, 44.9% male) were included in the urination analysis, and 180 patients (mean age 79.3 years, 44.4% male) were included in the defecation analysis. Multiple regression analysis showed that the number of chair-stand exercises was independently positively associated with FIM-Bladder at discharge (β=0.147, P=0.038) and FIM-Bladder gain (β=0.168, P=0.038). Similarly, the number of chair-stand exercises was independently positively associated with FIM-Bowel at discharge (β=0.149, P=0.049) and FIM-Bowel gain (β=0.166, P=0.049).CONCLUSIONS:Chair-stand exercise was positively associated with improved urination and defecation independence in post-stroke patients with sarcopenia. Incorporating whole-body exercises, such as chair-stand exercise, in addition to conventional rehabilitation programs may help improve voiding independence, reduce incontinence, and enhance quality of life in these patients.
