Journal ArticleDOI

Stroke Care 2: Stroke rehabilitation

TL;DR: There is evidence to support rehabilitation in well coordinated multidisciplinary stroke units or through provision of early supported provision of discharge teams and promising interventions that could be beneficial to improve aspects of gait include fitness training, high-intensity therapy, and repetitive-task training.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical Activity and Exercise Recommendations for Stroke Survivors A Statement for Healthcare Professionals From the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association

TL;DR: The incidence of stroke is likely to continue to escalate because of an expanding population of elderly Americans; a growing epidemic of diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity among the general population; and a greater prevalence of heart failure patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and safety of very early mobilisation within 24 h of stroke onset (AVERT): a randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The higher dose, very early mobilisation protocol was associated with a reduction in the odds of a favourable outcome at 3 months and should affect clinical practice by refining present guidelines; however, clinical recommendations should be informed by future analyses of dose-response associations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inactive and Alone Physical Activity Within the First 14 Days of Acute Stroke Unit Care

TL;DR: The physical activity patterns of stroke patients managed within acute stroke units were determined as a first step in developing an early mobilization protocol to evaluate the effect of increased levels of physical activity early after stroke compared with current standards of care.
