Methods: A modified three-round Delphi study was conducted. The panelists responded to the questionnaire on a 7-point Likert scale. Responses were returned with descriptive statistics in the next round. Consensus was defined as &gt;75% agreement (score of 5\u20137) with a median &gt; 5. The percentage of strong agreement (score of 6\u20137) and Kendall\u2019s coefficient of concordance were calculated to demonstrate a more refined interpretation of the consensus. Results: Fifteen panelists contributed to all rounds. The need for exercise was demonstrated. The consensus was reached on 53 of 58 items in the first round and all items in the second and final rounds. The percentage of strong agreement was high for all but eight items. Conclusions: This study is the first Delphi study to investigate the need for and priorities of exercise for treating preexisting sarcopenia in stroke hemiplegia. We present a standard recommendation including 57 priorities and a strong recommendation including 49 priorities. The eight items that were excluded reflected factors that are less important to hemiplegic patients with poor balance, cognitive decline, or mental vulnerability.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life14030332","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,1]],"date-time":"2024-03-01T11:19:24Z","timestamp":1709291964000},"page":"332","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["An Exercise Prescription for Patients with Stroke and Sarcopenia Based on the Modified Delphi Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4682-5716","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jae Wan","family":"Yoo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Graduate School of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, RHIN Hospital, Yongin-si 16864, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0084-2403","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Geun-Young","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bucheon St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7773-6329","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hae-Yeon","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bucheon St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1323-4503","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yeun Jie","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, St. Vincent\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0526-6708","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mi-Jeong","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, St. Vincent\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"SeungYup","family":"Song","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bucheon St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kyung Hyun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8039-8220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hooman","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Development Center, Exosystems, Seongnam-si 13449, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6798-2529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sangui","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Research and Development Center, Exosystems, Seongnam-si 13449, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8400-4911","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sun","family":"Im","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Bucheon St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5475-4153","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Seong Hoon","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Seoul St. Mary\u2019s Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul 06591, Republic of Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"990S","DOI":"10.1093\/jn\/127.5.990S","article-title":"Sarcopenia: Origins and clinical relevance","volume":"127","author":"Rosenberg","year":"1997","journal-title":"J.
