Physiotherapists’ use of aerobic exercise during stroke rehabilitation: a qualitative study using chart-stimulated recall
Physiotherapists' behaviours regarding use of aerobic exercise for people with stroke are not a binary behaviour of prescribing or not prescribing aerobic exercise. Their behaviours are better understood on a continuum; between two ends of not prescribing aerobic exercise, and prescribing aerobic exercise with defined intensity, duration, and frequency.
