Abstract
Introduction: Muscle weakness is a common consequence of stroke and can result in a decrease in physical activity. Changes in gait performance can be observed, especially a reduction in gait speed, and increased gait asymmetry, and energy cost is also reported.
Objective: The aim was to determine whether exercise can improve strength, balance and walking abilities in patients with hemiplegia.
Method: Five databases (PubMed, Cochrane, PEDro, Web of Science, Embase) were searched to identify eligible studies. Randomized controlled trials were included. Pooled standardized mean differences were calculated using a random effects model. The PRISMA statement was followed to increase clarity of reporting.
Results: Five studies, including 173 patients, reporting on the subject of progressive resistance training, specific task training, functional and aerobic cycling at high-intensity were analyzed. These interventions showed a statistically significant effect on strength and the Timed Up-and- Go test, and a non-significant effect on walking and the Berg Balance Scale.
Conclusion: Progressive resistance training seemed to be the most effective treatment to improve strength. When it is appropriately targeted, it significantly improves strength.
Keywords: Stroke, Hemiplegia, Exercise, Resistance training.
