TL;DR: In this paper, a review of physical rehabilitation approaches for stroke patients is presented, where the authors explore the effects of approaches that incorporate individual treatment components, categorised as functional task training, musculoskeletal intervention (active), MCI, neurophysiological intervention (passive), cardiopulmonary intervention, assistive device or modality.

TL;DR: There is evidence that physiotherapy intervention, using a mix of components from different approaches, is significantly more effective than no treatment or placebo control in the recovery of functional independence following stroke.

TL;DR: Physiotherapy intervention, using a `mix' of components from different `approaches' is more effective than no treatment control in attaining functional independence following stroke but there is insufficient evidence to conclude that any one physiotherapy `approach' isMore effective in promoting recovery of disability than any other approach.

TL;DR: A hierarchical pattern of recovery of mobility reflecting variation between subgroups was observed and predicted timescales for recovery of Mobility are suggested.

TL;DR: STS timing and patterns of trunk movement during standing up in a population of 30 normal older adult subjects, using a three-dimensional movement analysis system, CODA-3, shows that normal subjects stood up quickly, and despite large amounts of trunk forward flexion and upward motion necessary to achieve the task of standing up, only small amounts of tree rotation, trunk lateral flexion, and trunk lateral shift were measured.
