J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis
. 2013 Nov;
9(4):185-91.
PMID: 24192026
Functional disability after hemiparetic stroke may be compounded by physical deconditioning and muscular wasting, factors related to disuse and advancing age. However, the role of body composition, severity, and chronicity...

Kulaputana O, Ghiu I, Phares D, Ferrell R, Macko R, Goldberg A, et al.
Int J Sports Med
. 2006 Jul;
27(8):617-22.
PMID: 16874588
We assessed the interactive effect of genetic polymorphisms and exercise training on fibrinolysis in 50 - 75 yr old men (n = 17) and women (n = 28). Subjects had...

Macko R, Ivey F, Forrester L
Top Stroke Rehabil
. 2005 Mar;
12(1):45-57.
PMID: 15736000
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in older Americans. Each year 750,000 Americans suffer a stroke, two thirds of whom are left with neurological deficits that persistently impair function....

Ivey F, Macko R, Ryan A, Hafer-Macko C
Top Stroke Rehabil
. 2005 Mar;
12(1):1-16.
PMID: 15735997
Stroke patients have profound cardiovascular and muscular deconditioning, with metabolic fitness levels that are about half those found in age-matched sedentary controls. Physical deconditioning, along with elevated energy demands of...

Erlinger T, Conlin P, Macko R, Bohannon A, Miller 3rd E, Moore T, et al.
J Hum Hypertens
. 2002 May;
16(6):391-7.
PMID: 12037693
Hypertension is associated with impaired fibrinolysis. Both angiotensin receptor blockers (ARB) and the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet effectively lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Some evidence suggests...

Neurorehabil Neural Repair
. 2002 Jan;
15(2):105-12.
PMID: 11811252
Objective: Hemiparetic gait is characterized by high stride-cycle variability, diminished stance time, single-limb stance time, and stance/swing ratio in the paretic limb. Recent studies suggest treadmill (TM) training may improve...

Macko R, Smith G, Dobrovolny C, Sorkin J, Goldberg A, Silver K
Arch Phys Med Rehabil
. 2001 Jul;
82(7):879-84.
PMID: 11441372
Objective: To investigate the hypothesis that treadmill training will improve peak fitness, while lowering the energy cost of hemiparetic gait in chronic stroke patients. Design: Noncontrolled exercise intervention study with...

Neurorehabil Neural Repair
. 2001 Mar;
14(1):65-71.
PMID: 11228951
It is widely assumed that only limited improvement in functional mobility is possible beyond the subacute period following ischemic stroke. Contrary to this notion, we studied "neurologically plateaued" stroke patients...

Womack C, Ivey F, Gardner A, Macko R
Med Sci Sports Exerc
. 2001 Feb;
33(2):214-9.
PMID: 11224808
Purpose: Elevations in tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) are postulated to protect against atherothrombotic events during exercise. However, fibrinolytic response to repetitive bouts of symptom-limited exercise is unknown in peripheral arterial...

Stroke
. 2001 Jan;
32(1):77-83.
PMID: 11136918
Background And Purpose: The relationship between alcohol consumption and cerebral infarction remains uncertain, and few studies have investigated whether the relationship varies by alcohol type or is present in young...
