Regan EW, et al. - Via performing a systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers reviewed the efficacy of aerobic programs for stroke survivors similar in activity and dosage to cardiac rehabilitation programs in improving aerobic and walking capacity. Using Preferred Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, they included group interventions for survivors of stroke with a primary aerobic component and dosage from 18 to 36 visits over 8 to 18 weeks (matching cardiac rehabilitation requirements in the United States) from 5 databases. Measures of aerobic capacity were the 6-minute walk test, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2) peak, and walking speed. Outcomes support the effectiveness of aerobic programs similar in activity and dosing to cardiac rehabilitation programs in the United States at increasing aerobic capacity for survivors of stroke regardless of the mode of exercise, functional mobility, or time since stroke.
