Background
Low mobility and low level of physical activity is common after stroke. The objective of this study was to relate these outcomes to physical, psychological, and demographic determinants.Methods
In this cross-sectional cohort study, a聽consecutive sample of 195 community-living individuals, 65-85聽years of age (74聽卤 5聽years, 71% men) with a previous stroke was included. Exclusion criteria were severe aphasia and severe cognitive dysfunction. Mobility status was measured by the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB, 0-12 points), and physical activity was measured using the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE).
Results
Mobility (SPPB, median 9 points) and level of physical activity were low (mean PASE 97 卤 66 points), and walking speed was slow (1.10 卤 .86聽m/s), in relation to a healthy population-based sample. In multiple regression analyses, age (P聽=聽.001), physical activity (P < .001), fall-related self-efficacy (P = .001), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) (P = .02) were associated with mobility (SPPB). Mobility (P < .001), HRQoL (P = .014), and fall-related self-efficacy (P聽=聽.031) were likewise associated with self-reported physical activity as the dependent variable. The regression models described 42% and 31% of the variance in mobility and physical activity, respectively.
Conclusions
Individuals perceived disabilities that are partly potentially modifiable 1-3聽years after stroke. Future poststroke rehabilitation studies need to evaluate if actions to improve fall-related self-efficacy and mobility could promote the physical activity level in this patient population.
