Hand Edema and Venous Return After Stroke: A Preliminary Study.
BackgroundVenous congestion is hypothesized to contribute to hand edema in patients with stroke; however, no studies have specifically investigated decreased venous return in the paretic hand.ObjectiveThis preliminary study explores this relationship by objectively measuring hand edema and venous return.MethodsThis cross-sectional study included patients who had experienced a first-ever stroke and presented with hand edema. Hand edema was measured bilaterally using a volumeter, and venous flow volume in the axillary vein was evaluated bilaterally using an ultrasound device. Hand edema and venous flow volumes were compared between the paretic and non-paretic limbs using a paired t-test.ResultsThirteen male patients with stroke with hand edema were screened. Their median age was 69.3 years, and the median time since stroke onset was 117.5 days. Flow volume in the axillary vein was significantly lower on the paretic side (64.7 [95% confidence interval (CI): 41.8, 87.7] mL/min) than on the non-paretic side (115.9 [95% CI: 74.6, 157.2] mL/min).ConclusionThe findings of this study suggest that venous return may be reduced in patients with stroke with hand edema. Future research should investigate the mechanisms underlying venous return impairment and other potential causes of hand edema.
期刊介绍:
NeuroRehabilitation, an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, publishes manuscripts focused on scientifically based, practical information relevant to all aspects of neurologic rehabilitation. We publish unsolicited papers detailing original work/research that covers the full life span and range of neurological disabilities including stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, neuromuscular disease and other neurological disorders.
We also publish thematically organized issues that focus on specific clinical disorders, types of therapy and age groups. Proposals for thematic issues and suggestions for issue editors are welcomed.
