Relationships between cardiorespiratory fitness, physical activity practices, and functional outcomes one-year post-stroke in northern Benin: A case-control study
CONCLUSION: The study showed clear trends for lower levels of PA in both people with chronic stroke and health controls. A correlation exists between CF, disability, and functional outcomes among stroke patients.PMID:37120850 | DOI:10.1080/10749357.2023.2207286

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 2286: Relationships between Self-Efficacy and Post-Stroke Activity Limitations, Locomotor Ability, Physical Activity, and Community Reintegration in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Cross-Sectional Study
atcho Stroke self-efficacy is under-investigated in sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, studies focusing on the relationship between self-efficacy and post-stroke functional outcomes are scarce. This cross-sectional study aimed to explore the association between self-efficacy and post-stroke activity limitations, locomotor ability, physical activity, and community reintegration in Benin, a sub-Saharan African country. To achieve this purpose, a selection of stroke patients was made from the admission registers of the physiotherapy clinics (rehabilitation units) of three reference hospitals in Benin from January to April...

IJERPH, Vol. 20, Pages 1784: Physical Activity Level, Barriers, and Facilitators for Exercise Engagement for Chronic Community-Dwelling Stroke Survivors in Low-Income Settings: A Cross-Sectional Study in Benin
This study aimed to document the PA level and understand the barriers and facilitators to engaging in PA for community-dwelling stroke survivors in Benin, a lower middle-income country. A cross-sectional study was conducted in three hospitals in Benin. Levels of PA were recorded by means of the Benin version of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire long form (IPAQ-LF-Benin), which is validated for stroke survivors in Benin. The perceived exercise facilitators and barriers were assessed by the Stroke Exercise Preference Inventory-13 (SEPI-13). A descriptive analysis and associations were performed with a Confide...

Relationships between overall physical activity and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in developing countries: a cross-sectional study
CONCLUSION: There is a strong relationship between overall PA and step counts in able-bodied adults and stroke survivors in Benin. Step counts appear to be an indicator of PA levels in developing countries, suggesting walking as a potential exercise to improve PA levels in stroke survivors.Implications for RehabilitationStep counts could serve as an indicator of physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.Walking may be suggested as exercise to improve physical activity levels in stroke survivors in developing countries.In Africa French speaking countries, the IPAQ-AF could be used to assess physic...

Social representations of cardiovascular disease in the Tanv è Health Study (TAHES) cohort in Benin
CONCLUSION: Social representations of CVD in this community are based on ancestral beliefs, but are also influenced by modern knowledge. Taking them into account could improve quality of health to fulfill communities' care needs.PMID:34517975 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2021.07.003
