Effect of Intensive Outpatient Physical Training on Gait Performance and Cardiovascular Health in People With Hemiparesis After Stroke
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of intensive physical training on gait performance and cardiovascular health parameters in people with stroke in the chronic stage. Fourteen people with hemiparesis after cerebrovascular injury (mean age=58.4 years, mean time since injury=25 months) participated in a 12-week training intervention, 5 times per week for [...]
A community-based exercise and education scheme for stroke survivors: a randomized controlled trial and economic evaluation
This study evaluated of a community-based exercise and education scheme for stroke survivors. 243 participants were randomized to standard care (124) or the intervention (119). The intervention exercise and education schemes held twice weekly for eight weeks, facilitated by volunteers and qualified exercise instructors (supported by a physiotherapist), each with nine participants plus carers or [...]

Effect of 6 weeks wobble board exercises on static and dynamic balance of stroke survivors.
The primary aim of this study was to determine the effect of a wobble board exercise program on static and dynamic balance of hemiplegic subjects. Seventeen (17) stroke survivors were randomly selected into two groups. The subjects in the experimental group were trained on wobble board for six weeks while the control group received only [...]
Does repetitive task training improve functional activity after stroke? A Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis.
The objective of this study was to determine if repetitive task training after stroke improves functional activity by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis of trials comparing repetitive task training with attention control or usual care. 14 trials with 17 intervention-control pairs and 659 participants were included. Results were statistically significant for walking distance; [...]
Does repetitive task training improve functional activity after stroke? A Cochrane systematic review and meta-analysis.
The objective of this study was to determine if repetitive task training after stroke improves functional activity. Included studies were randomized/quasi-randomized trials in adults after stroke where an active motor sequence aiming to improve functional activity was performed repetitively within a single training session. 14 trials with 17 intervention-control pairs and 659 participants were included.
