Objective: To investigate the external validation of the previously reported minimal important change (MIC) in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT) and update it for patients with subacute stroke hospitalized in rehabilitation unit.
Design: Longitudinal study SETTING: : Rehabilitation unit of a neurosurgical hospital.
Participants: One hundred and seven patients with subacute stroke.
Background: Little is known about the association between fatigue and physical activity in patients hospitalized with subacute stroke.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between fatigue and physical activity in patients hospitalized with subacute stroke.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 244 consecutive patients with stroke who were admitted to a subacute rehabilitation ward at our hospital.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore how nutritional status, measured by the GLIM criteria, relates to physical activity levels and daily living activities in hospitalized subacute stroke patients.
- Conducted in a neurosurgical rehabilitation unit, the research included 128 stroke patients and analyzed links between malnutrition, sedentary behavior (SB), light-intensity physical activity (LIPA), and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA).
- Findings revealed that malnutrition was linked to increased SB and decreased LIPA, which in turn were important factors affecting daily living activities, but there was no significant connection with MVPA.
Increased physical activity is required in patients with stroke that are hospitalized in the rehabilitation unit. This study investigated the association between the daily number of steps and walking independence in order to determine the cutoff value of daily number of steps that can predict walking independence in hospitalized patients with sub-acute stroke. This cross-sectional observational study included 85 stroke patients admitted to the rehabilitation unit.

Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 107 patients with stroke admitted to a rehabilitation unit. The average daily number of steps taken was considered as physical activity.
