Physical Activity and Exercise After Stroke: Review of Multiple Meaningful Benefits
Open accessAbstract
A lthough stroke is now the fourth, not the third, most com- mon cause of death in the United States, 1 the burden of stroke has increased.Stroke is now the third (fifth in 1990) largest cause of disability-adjusted life years in the developed world. 2 Around half of those who do survive stroke are permanently disabled.3 There are a wide range of poststroke problems, including movement and function, mobility, balance, cognition, attention, memory, pain, sensation, perception, emotional problems, and psychological issues.The physical and psychosocial consequences of stroke are complex and long term.Longer-term problems are reported by stroke survivors 1 to 5 years post stroke.The most common include mobility (58%), fatigue (52%), concentration (45%), and falls (44%).Around half of those surviving report that their needs relating to these problems are not being met and this is higher among those who are more disabled.4 Addressing the long-term needs of people during life after stroke is a priority from both a service provision and a research perspective-many uncertainties remain on how best to address long-term post stroke problems.The aim of this review was to assess whether the multiple effects of exercise and physical activity correspond with the outcomes considered most important, by patients and carers, for life after stroke. Physical Activity, Exercise, and Fitness After StrokePhysical activity is defined as all human movement produced by the action of skeletal muscle that substantially increases energy expenditure.Physical activity is essential for improving and maintaining physical fitness.Exercise is a subset of physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive and is performed deliberately with the intention of improving physical fitness.5 Key indices of physical fitness include cardiorespiratory fitness and muscle strength and power; these determine our capacity to perform and tolerate physical activity.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
