Objectives Muscle mass at admission is important to survive stroke, and stroke-induced
sarcopenia is a serious problem because of its poor prognosis. Muscle mass measurement …

Objectives To investigate the predictive value of the BIA-derived phase angle with respect to
the functional prognosis and baseline sarcopenia in patients undergoing post-stroke …

Objective Phase angle, an assessment of muscle quality, might be a possible predictor of
physical function in patients with an acute stroke; however, the evidence for the same is …

Energy intake and rehabilitation time individually contribute to the improvement of activities
of daily living (ADL). This study aimed to investigate the additive effect of energy intake and …

Background Pre-stroke sarcopenia associated with poor functional outcomes. However,
diagnosis of pre-stroke sarcopenia is often difficult in patients with acute stroke. Thus, we …

Malnutrition is associated with poor clinical outcomes in stroke patients. The effect of early
nutritional intake after admission on home discharge is unclear. We evaluated the impact of …

SARC-F is a screening tool for sarcopenia; however, it has not yet been established whether
SARC-F scores predict functional outcomes. Therefore, we herein investigated the …

Objective This study examined the association between sarcopenia diagnosed by defining
muscle mass with calf circumference and physical function at hospital discharge in patients …

Aim To investigate the effects of coexisting conditions such as premorbid sarcopenia, frailty,
and disability on functional outcomes in older patients with acute stroke. Methods This …

Objectives We aimed to investigate whether combination assessment of phase angle (PhA)
and skeletal muscle index (SMI), was a possible predictor of physical function at discharge …
