Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, significantly impacts stroke patients, increasing their risk of severe illness and mortality related to COVID-19 infection.
- Post-stroke exercise rehabilitation is crucial for these individuals to help reduce long-term health risks, but there is currently no specific exercise guidance tailored for those recovering from both stroke and COVID-19.
- The article reviews the effects of COVID-19 on stroke and emphasizes the importance of exercise, while providing a decision-making tool for healthcare professionals to safely manage rehabilitation in this context.*
Background: Approximately 80% of individuals with chronic stroke present with long lasting upper extremity (UE) impairments. We designed the perSonalized UPper Extremity Rehabilitation (SUPER) intervention, which combines robotics, virtual reality activities, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES). The objectives of our study were to determine the feasibility and the preliminary efficacy of the SUPER intervention in individuals with moderate/severe stroke.

Individuals poststroke possess less than half of the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) as their nonstroke counterparts, leading to inactivity, deconditioning, and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Preserving cardiovascular health is critical to lower stroke risk; however, stroke rehabilitation typically provides limited opportunity for cardiovascular exercise.
