Physical activity training improves poststroke cognition; extends RCT evidence into chronic recovery.
We found a significant positive effect of PA training on cognition poststroke with small to moderate treatment effects that are apparent even in the chronic stroke phase. Our findings support the use of PA training as a treatment strategy to promote cognitive recovery in stroke survivors.
