Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The primary aims of this updated review (1) were to determine whether physical fitness training after stroke reduces death, dependence, and disability. The secondary aims were to assess the effects of training on adverse events, risk factors, physical fitness, mobility, physical function, quality of life, mood, and cognitive function. Cognition outcomes have become an important post-stroke intervention target and are therefore added to this review update.
