Abstract

Various physical rehabilitation approaches may be used to promote recovery of function and mobility after stroke. Controversy and debate about the relative effectiveness of approaches persist. We aimed to determine whether physical rehabilitation approaches are effective in recovery of function and mobility in people with stroke, and to assess whether any one physical rehabilitation approach is more effective than any other approach.
