Background.
People with stroke are not maintaining adequate engagement in physical activity (PA) for health and functional benefit.
This paper sought to describe any psychological and social factors that may influence physical activity engagement after stroke.
Methods.
A structured literature review of studies indexed in MEDLINE, CinAHL, P&BSC, and PsycINFO using search terms relevant to stroke, physical disabilities, and PA.
Publications reporting empirical findings (quantitative or qualitative) regarding psychological and/or social factors were included.
Results.
Twenty studies from 19 publications (9 surveys, 1 RCT, and 10 qualitative studies) were included.
Seventeen studies reported findings pertinent to psychological factors and fourteen findings pertinent to social factors.
Conclusion.
Self-efficacy, physical activity beliefs, and social support appear particularly relevant to physical activity behaviour after stroke and should be included in theoretically based physical interventions.
The Transtheoretical Model and the Theory of Planned Behaviour are candidate behavioural models that may support intervention development.
