Implication

Systematic review evaluates interventions for increasing physical activity in stroke inpatients, indicating potential effectiveness of activity feedback and physiotherapy.

Key Points

  • Interventions focusing on physical activity show promise for inpatients after stroke.
  • General activity feedback may moderately increase physical activity levels based on a pooled analysis of four trials.
  • Additional physiotherapy may enhance physical activity but also raises fall risk in patients.
  • Further research is essential to solidify the effectiveness and reliability of these interventions.
