Little is known about the energy expenditure (EE) and the perceived effort of patients with stroke during STS.\n\nObjectives:\u00a0The objectives of our study were to assess the perceived effort and EE of patients with stroke when moving from STS and to determine whether an association between actual energy expended and patient-perceived effort exists.\n\nMethod:\u00a0This descriptive cross-sectional pilot study assessed participants\u2019 EE and perceived effort during STS, with a triaxial accelerometer and the modified Borg scale (MBS), respectively.\n\nResults:\u00a0The team screened 428 individuals for potential inclusion, with nine participants (n\u00a0= 5 female, 55.5%) meeting the criteria for our pilot study. Participants had a mean age of 52.77 (standard deviation [SD] \u00b1 11.33) years, the majority had a haemorrhagic stroke (n\u00a0= 6, 66.6%) and left hemiplegia (n\u00a0= 6, 66.6%), and they were assessed 9.11 (SD \u00b1 6.57) days post-stroke. The mean EE during STS was 2.82 (SD \u00b1 1.9) kCal. Most participants (n\u00a0= 7, 77.77%) perceived STS as more than a \u2018moderate\u2019 effort on the MBS. The correlation coefficient between the metabolic equivalent of task (METs) and MBS was\u00a0r\u00a0= 0.34 (p\u00a0= 0.38).\n\nConclusion:\u00a0Our study found a fair positive correlation between METs and MBS for patients with stroke during STS.\n\nClinical implications:\u00a0The increased EE shown can be a key point for rehabilitation to lessen the extent of EE during STS. Further research is warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4102\/sajp.v80i1.2022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,10]],"date-time":"2024-05-10T05:30:52Z","timestamp":1715319052000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4102\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Energy
