Effectiveness of Rehabilitation Exercise in Improving Physical Function of Stroke Patients: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Rehabilitation is a crucial part of recovery for stroke survivors, and numerous studies have examined various exercises and treatments of stroke. In addition, it is very important for patients to choose the timing of rehabilitation and what kind of rehabilitation they will proceed with. The purpose of the current study is to examine research investigating the effects of rehabilitation exercise programs in recovery of physical function in patients with stroke, based on aspects of their physical function, physical strength, and daily activities, and systematically examine their effects. Therefore, through systematic review, we have investigated the effects of interventions in rehabilitation exercise programs for recovery of physical function in patients with stroke. We collected relevant publications through the databases MEDLINE/PubMed and Google scholar. Twenty-one articles were ultimately selected for the analysis. We classified the rehabilitation programs and identified the trends of treatment for stroke survivors. Our review indicated that task-oriented therapy is still dominant, but various types of combined rehabilitations have been attempted. In addition, it was identified that physical and active rehabilitation were required rather than unconditional rest, even at an early stage. Home-based treatment was used for rapid recovery and adaptation to daily life during the mid-term period.

Advances in balance training to prevent falls in stroke patients: a scoping review

“…Most of the studies focused on patients after 6–12 months from the onset of stroke, requiring patients to be able to walk more than 10 meters independently or stand for more than 5 min. And there is a lack of researches for such stroke patients with early balance training, which may have better recovery effects ( 19 ). However, considering the safety of patients and potential medical disputes, it is often difficult to achieve, so robot-assisted balance training has unique advantages for early intervention of such patients ( 20 ).…”

Advanced Machine Learning Techniques for Precise Thyroid Disease Classification: A Novel Approach

“…Through the active mode, patients engage in interactive training exercises guided by real-time feedback on finger movement parameters such as force, range of motion, and speed [17]. Conversely, the passive mode enables automated rehabilitation routines driven by pre-defined protocols, allowing patients to undergo continuous rehabilitation without the need for active participation [18]. By offering flexibility in training modalities, the software empowers clinicians to tailor rehabilitation programs to individual patient needs and progress.…”

Systematic Review: Penggunaan Video Games dan Virtual Reality Dalam Memulihkan Fungsi Motorik Pasien Stroke

“…Rehabilitasi yang dijalani dengan baik dapat meningkatkan pemulihan fungsi tubuh pasien dan mengurangi durasi rawat inap di rumah sakit (Foley et al, 2003). Keberhasilan rehabilitasi sangat dipengaruhi oleh motivasi dan keterlibatan pasien (Lee et al, 2022). Dengan demikian, pemilihan jenis rehabilitasi merupakan hal yang sangat penting bagi pasien (Langhorne et al, 2011).…”
