Quantifying Stroke Rehabilitation Dose-Response: A Systematic-Review and Meta-Analysis Using Active Dose

Stroke is a leading causes of long-term disability[1], often requiring rehabilitation to regain function[2]. While no consensus exists on how to optimize rehabilitation features, i.e. dose[3,4], evidence suggests a positive dose-response relationship with increased scheduled time and outcome[3,4,5]. Unfortunately, scheduled time[5], may not accurately reflect dose delivered to patients[6]. Our objective was to quantifying the magnitude of functional improvement with respect to active therapy time, a more accurate dose measure.
