Cardiopulmonary exercise testing: does measured peak O <sub>2</sub> reflect a valid peak O <sub>2</sub> in patients with hemiparetic stroke?
More severe hemiparesis and mobility impairments are associated with a lower pRER during CPET using cycle ergometry. Nevertheless, the measured peak <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:mover><mml:mi>V</mml:mi><mml:mo>˙</mml:mo></mml:mover></mml:mrow></mml:math>O<sub>2</sub> still seems to represent a valid peak <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:mover><mml:mi>V</mml:mi><mml:mo>˙</mml:mo></mml:mover></mml:mrow></mml:math>O<sub>2</sub>. These findings aid in interpreting CPET results in patients with hemiparetic stroke.
