Outline of Final Research Achievements

Atherosclerosis causes platelet activation, endothelial dysfunction, and coagulation fibrinolytic disorder, resulting in cerebral thrombosis or hemorrhage. After ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis, adhesion molecules, and growth factors induce neuronal death around the stroke lesion. The aim of this study is to clarify whether the exercise or rehabilitation contributes to the prevention of neuronal death after stroke. This study demonstrated that physical and occupational therapies reduced the parameters of inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis, adhesion molecules, and growth factors in patients with stroke. It is suggested that the therapeutic exercise prevent the neuronal death after stroke.
