The effectiveness of adaptive physical activity on improving motor, cognitive and functional abilities in post-stroke patients: A literature review
Keywords:
Stroke, Adaptive physical activity, Motor skills, Functional abilitiesAbstract
Stroke is one of the non-communicable diseases that can cause long-term disorders for sufferers, increasing the economic burden for families and the state. Some of the risks that can be experienced by stroke sufferers include impaired body activity, almost most sufferers experience limited physical activity and need assistance when meeting daily needs so that it becomes a burden on the family. The method used in this study is a literature search from three electronic databases, namely Google Scholar, reputable journals, pub med. The inclusion criteria of the study discussed stroke, using adaptive physical activity, based on the review of clinical articles and research published between 2018 and 2024. Exclusion criteria are studies that are not primary research, articles that are not evidence-based, studies that do not use appropriate designs such as RCTs, cohorts or meta-analyses. Results The six articles used in this literature review all showed the effectiveness of adaptive physical exercise on improving the motor and functional abilities of stroke patients.
