Article Synopsis
- * It involved a meta-analysis of 47 studies with 1,749 stroke patients, categorizing them by the severity of impairment and stroke phase, revealing significant differences in daily step counts across impairment levels (4645, 3610, and 1990 steps for minor, minor/moderate, and moderate/severe groups, respectively).
- * The findings emphasize the considerable effect of stroke severity on daily activity, suggesting that tailored interventions are necessary to boost physical activity in stroke survivors, especially during the chronic phase.
Rehabilitation technologies offer promising opportunities for interventions for patients with motor disabilities. However, their use in routine care remains limited due to their high cost and persistent doubts about their cost-effectiveness. Providing solid evidence of the economic efficiency of rehabilitation technologies would help dispel these doubts in order to better take advantage of these technologies.

- Health care professionals need a reliable way to evaluate the physical fitness of patients, especially those with chronic diseases, and this study tests a wrist-worn sensor for this purpose.
- The research involved 31 young adults and 14 individuals with chronic diseases performing physical fitness tests (Sit to Stand and Time Up and Go) while wearing the sensor, and it analyzed the accuracy of the results using various statistical methods.
- The findings indicate high concordance between the sensor's results and traditional methods, particularly in the Sit to Stand test, suggesting that the sensor can be an effective tool for assessing physical ability in both healthy and chronic disease populations.
