Physical activity in chronic home-living and sub-acute hospitalized stroke patients using objective and self-reported measures.

CONCLUSIONS: In HOM significantly more steps were performed and higher EE values were measured. However, participation in moderate activities and time spent on therapy were less in HOM. Evaluating PA with quantitative measures is feasible in both chronic home-living and sub-acute hospitalized patients with stroke. PMID: 26751778 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
