Meta-analysis examining interventions aimed at reducing sedentary lifestyle in poststroke patients

Implications for practice and research - Loosely related to increasing physical activity is reducing sedentary time. - The impact of stroke may symbolize a limitation in physical activities. - Although the level of physical activity may act as a buffer to a better quality of life, sedentary behaviour is not associated with reduced or increased mortality in people affected with stroke. - Whilst no benefits were found in relation to mortality rate, further studies are required to bridge clinical gaps in this area
