Cardiorespiratory exercise during rehabilitation is associated with improved functional recovery early post-stroke: A cohort study
Findings support that CRE during routine inpatient rehabilitation early post-stroke is associated with improved functional independence, ambulation and motor recovery. However, given that the observational design limits causal inferences, controlled studies are needed to confirm the benefits of CRE early post-stroke.
