Interactions between sex and diabetes history, prior stroke, or interview source were found for Mood, Role Function, Vision and Summary Scores. Conclusions. Females are at a disadvantage in stroke recovery. These differences are not explained by females' greater age at stroke onset or other ...
Post-stroke inflammatory responses are also sexually dimorphic and drive differences in infarct size and recovery. Factors that influence sex-specific immune responses can be both intrinsic and extrinsic. Differences in gonadal hormone exposure, sex chromosome compliment, and environmental/social factors ...
and analysis in clinical trials as well as in preclinical studies must include both sexes equally, consider possible sex differences in the analyses, and report the differences/similarities in more systematic/structured ways to allow promising therapies for both sexes and increase stroke recovery. 2016...

for stroke survivors to improve functional capacity and the ability to perform regular daily activities, as well as quality of life.96Post-stroke rehabilitative exercise can also aid in improving cognitive ability, psychosocial aspects of recovery, balance, and mobility.97The promotion of physical ...
METHODS: We compared age patterns of recovery rates from stroke evaluated in 2 subcohorts represented in the National Long-Term Care Survey data linked with the Medicare service use files. RESULTS: We found a statistically significant increase in recovery rate between 1994 and 1999 for females but...
Not only matched comparison studies20,21, but also large population retrospective ones22-24 consistently showed better and faster functional recovery in hemorrhagic versus non-hemorrhagic stroke at short term outcomes. For long-term outcomes (one year post- stroke), one study reported that there was...
While it may be expected for patients with severe stroke to have poorer functional recovery despite their physical activity level, being physically active is still associated with a better outcome, regardless of stroke severity, supporting the health benefits of poststroke physical activity. The ...
