Physical Activity Trajectories and Functional Recovery After Acute Stroke Among Adults in Sweden.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The optimum level and timing of poststroke physical activity interventions to enhance functional recovery remain unclear.

Objective

To assess the level of physical activity in the first 6 months after stroke among individuals with similar physical activity patterns over time and to investigate the association between physical activity trajectories and functional recovery at 6 months after stroke.

Design, setting, and participants

This cohort study obtained data from the Efficacy of Fluoxetine-a Randomized Controlled Trial in Stroke, which was conducted in 35 stroke and rehabilitation centers across Sweden from October 2014 to June 2019. Adult participants (aged >18 years) were recruited between 2 and 15 days after stroke onset and followed up for 6 months.
