Are stroke patients more
or less |
|
|
|
active after discharge? |

10 stroke patients measured for 24
hours whilst in hospital |
|
|
and shortly after discharge. |
|
|
|
All graphs n =10 median (range). |

|
|
|
|
No
statistically significant change in physical activity was found |
|
|
post
discharge. However some patients
increased activity and |
|
|
others declined. Stroke patients exhibit a high level of
heterogeneity |
|
|
and a larger sample size could
demonstrate the presence of sub- |
|
|
groups within this population. |
