Abstract/Notes

Abstract: This retrospective chart review was performed to assess the effect of chiropractic intervention in patients with post-ischemic stroke. Seven patients with a history of ischemic stroke who underwent chiropractic adjustment were retrospectively evaluated.

A chart review was performed to extract age, medical history, and treatment interventions. The magnitude of spinal subluxation was determined using standing radiography (X-ray). A comparison of measurements from pre- and post-treatment radiographs revealed that cervical lordosis had improved. Additionally, sensorimotor function of the upper and lower extremities, muscle activation, gait parameters, and quality of life improved in all patients.

These results suggest that chiropractic care can be an effective part of post-stroke rehabilitation.
