Comparative effectiveness of exercise interventions on postural balance and activity ability in stroke patients: a systematic review and network meta-analysis.

This study included a total of 24 randomized controlled trials, which compared the effects of six types of exercise interventions on the postural balance and activity ability of stroke patients: robot-assisted training, treadmill training, core stability training, resistance training, aquatic therapy, and overground gait.

The analysis demonstrated that exercise interventions significantly improved postural balance (SMD = 0.27, 95% CI: 0.03, 0.51) and activity ability (SMD = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.15, 1.76) of stroke patients.
