Effectiveness of Physical Rehabilitation Interventions on Walking Capacity and Wearable Sensor-Derived Performance After Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Outcomes included steps per day, gait speed, and walking endurance (6-min walk test; 6MWT).

Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted, reporting standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Conversely, Exercise-only interventions were the only category associated with statistically significant improvements in walking capacity, improving both self-selected gait speed (SMD = 0.36; 95% CI: 0.13-0.58) and walking endurance (6MWT; SMD = 0.41; 95% CI: 0.25-0.57).
