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: The evidence suggests that interventions to promote PA among older adults are generally effective but there is uncertainty around the most beneficial intervention components.

TL;DR: It is indicated that where anxiety is assessed, it appears more important in determining HRQOL than depression, which is a stronger predictor of perceptions of physical activity than independence in activities daily living six months after stroke.

TL;DR: This study provides some evidence that tailored counseling alone or with tailored supervised Exercise improves long-term PA participation and functional exercise capacity after stroke better than does tailored supervised exercise with general advice only.

TL;DR: Evidence is identified that suggests that bilateral training may be no more (or less) effective than usual care or other upper limb interventions for performance in ADL, functional movement of the upper limb or motor impairment outcomes.
