Should physical activity and exercise prescription be incorporated into the management of stroke survivors?
Physical activity and exercise prescription, including aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities, are recommended for stroke survivors to aid in secondary prevention.
Supports incorporating exercise into post-stroke care; leaves open need for randomized trials to confirm benefits.
The recommendation from this writing group is that physical activity and exercise prescription should be incorporated into the management of stroke survivors. The promotion of physical activity in stroke survivors should emphasize low- to moderate-intensity aerobic activity, muscle-strengthening activity, reduction of sedentary behavior, and risk management for secondary prevention of stroke.
