Background.
Targeted physical activity drives functional recovery after stroke.
This review aimed to determine the amount of time stroke survivors spend physically active during physiotherapy sessions.
Summary of Review.
A systematic search was conducted to identify published studies that investigated the use of time by people with stroke during physiotherapy sessions.
Seven studies were included; six observational and one randomised controlled trial.
People with stroke were found to be physically active for an average of 60 percent of their physiotherapy session duration.
The most common activities practiced in a physiotherapy session were walking, sitting, and standing with a mean (SD) practice time of 8.7 (4.3), 4.5 (4.0), and 8.3 (2.6) minutes, respectively.
Conclusion.
People with stroke were found to spend less than two-thirds of their physiotherapy sessions duration engaged in physical activity.
In light of dosage studies, practice time may be insufficient to drive optimal motor recovery.
