- Resuming social participation is a key goal of post-stroke rehabilitation, and exercise-based interventions are effective but their comparative effectiveness is not fully clear.
- A network meta-analysis was conducted on 16 randomized control trials with 1704 stroke patients to evaluate the effectiveness of various exercise interventions on social participation.
- The findings showed that a motor relearning program is the most effective short-term exercise intervention, while home-based combined exercise is the best for long-term improvements in social participation.
