Efficacy of interventions aimed at improving physical activity in individuals with stroke: a systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: Some interventions improved physical activity after stroke. However, the interpretability is limited. Implications for rehabilitation Individuals with stroke show low physical activity, which may compromise function and health. The use of interventions aimed at improving and maintaining physical activity of individuals with stroke are recommended. Some interventions, such as aerobic, resistance, and combined home-based training, electrical stimulation during walking, functional task training, and arm robot-assisted therapy, could improve the physical activity after stroke.
