Abstract

Background and Purpose— Despite the social, health, and economic burdens associated with cognitive impairment poststroke, there is considerable uncertainty about the types of interventions that might preserve or restore cognitive abilities. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effects of physical activity (PA) training on cognitive function poststroke and identify intervention and sample characteristics that may moderate treatment effects. Methods— Randomized controlled trials examining the association between structured PA training and cognitive performance poststroke were identified using electronic databases EMBASE and MEDLINE. Intervention effects were represented by Hedges’ g and combined into pooled effect sizes using random- and mixed-effects models. Effect sizes were subjected to moderation analyses using the between-group heterogeneity test. Results— Fourteen studies met inclusion criteria, representing data from 736 participants. The primary analysis yielded a positive overall effect of PA training on cognitive performance (Hedges’ g [95% confidence interval]=0.304 [0.14–0.47]). Mixed-effects analyses demonstrated that combined aerobic and strength training programs generated the largest cognitive gains and that improvements in cognitive performance were achieved even in the chronic stroke phase (mean=2.6 years poststroke). Positive moderate treatment effects were found for attention/processing speed measures (Hedges’ g [confidence interval]=0.37 [0.10–0.63]), while the executive function and working memory domains did not reach significance ( P >0.05). Conclusions— We found a significant positive effect of PA training on cognition poststroke with small to moderate treatment effects that are apparent even in the chronic stroke phase. Our findings support the use of PA training as a treatment strategy to promote cognitive recovery in stroke survivors.

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.
