PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AFTER STROKE

Andreea Voinea

Marathon, 2017, vol. 9, issue 1, 94-98

Abstract: Exercise and physical activity are useful tools in the rehabilitation and the functional recovery of patients who have suffered a stroke. Physical activity goals and exercise prescription for stroke survivors need to be customized for the individual to maximize long-term adherence. Physical inactivity after stroke is highly prevalent. The assessed body of evidence clearly supports the use of exercise training (both aerobic and strength training) for stroke survivors. Exercise training improves functional capacity, the ability to perform activities of daily living, and quality of life, and it reduces the risk for subsequent cardiovascular events or another stroke.
