Association between lower extremity physical function and physical activity after ischemic stroke: Longitudinal findings from the MOBITEC-Stroke project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stroke often results in physical impairments. Physical activity is crucial for rehabilitation, enhancing mobility, strength, and overall health. This study examines the association between Timed Up-and-Go (TUG) test performance and changes in physical activity to improve lower extremity physical function.

Methods

The MOBITEC-Stroke Cohort Study ("Recovery of mobility function and life-space mobility after ischemic stroke") included patients with a first incidence of stroke. Data assessed 3 and 12 months after stroke were used for analysis. Linear regression model adjusted for age, sex, instrumental activities of daily living, Falls Efficacy Scale-International, modified Ranking Scale, and National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale-score was used to examine the rel
