Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the influencing factors for hemodynamics in lower limbs and provide information for prevention of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs after stroke. Methods: According to the degree of paralysis in limbs, the stroke patients were divided into muscle strength ≤3 grade group (n = 53) and > 3 grade group (n = 94), and the maximum venous outflow (MVO) in lower limbs was detected by pulse volume recorder. The relationship was analysed between MVO and age, blood pressure, muscle strength, cholesterol, glycerinate, plasma fibrinogen and level of plasma von Willerbrand factor (vWF). Results: The reduction of MVO is correlated with the degree of paralysis of lower limbs. There were negative correlation between MVO and the level of plasma vWF (r = -0.2571, P = 0.02). Conclusion: The level of plasma vWF and muscle strength has some effects on MVO in lower limbs during the acute stage after stroke.
