Prestroke Physical Activity and Poststroke Cognitive Performance

Conclusion: Higher prestroke PA was associated with a better cognitive performance as measured by the SDMT at 1 and 6 months poststroke. We found no significant association between prestroke PA and functional outcome. Our results are encouraging and support further investigations of PA as a protective measure against poststroke cognitive impairment.Cerebrovasc Dis
