Systematic review analyzes exercise adherence factors in stroke survivors, suggesting key interventions for improvement.

Key Points

  • This review aims to synthesize evidence on factors influencing exercise adherence among stroke survivors in China across different settings.
  • Conducted a literature search across several databases from inception to December 2025.
  • Included only cross-sectional studies examining factors associated with exercise adherence.
  • Analyzed data with a semi-quantitative approach from a total of 23 studies involving 7557 stroke survivors.
  • Exercise adherence was at a medium level in both in-hospital (at 34 factors) and post-discharge (at 29 factors) settings.
  • Educational level, functional independence, and self-efficacy positively correlated with adherence across settings.
  • Age and stroke severity negatively affected adherence during hospitalization, while marital status and balance impairment influenced post-discharge adherence.
