Objective: To determine if skeletal muscle atrophy and greater fat deposition within the muscle are present in the hemiparetic limb of chronic (>6mo) hemiparetic stroke patients.Design: Cross-sectional study.Setting: Hospital-based research center.Participants: Sixty patients (47 men, 13 women; mean age standard deviation, 65 +/- 9y). Interventions: Not applicable.Main Outcome Measures: Patients underwent a total body scan by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry to determine percentage of body fat, total lean mass, fat mass, and lean mass of the paretic and nonaffected legs, thighs, and arms. Thirty patients received computed tomography (CT) scans of their midthigh to determine muscle area, subcutaneous fat, and low-density lean tissue, as a measure of fat within the muscle area, of the paretic and nonaffected midthigh.Results: Patients were deconditioned (Vo(2)Peak: 1.2+/-0.3L/rnin) with a percentage of body fat of 31.4%+/-9.8% and total lean mass of 51.4+/-9.1 kg. Lean mass of the paretic leg and thigh were 4% and 3% lower than the nonaffected leg (P
