Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of 6 exercise therapies on the quality of life of stroke patients.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, the Web of Science, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library to retrieve peer-reviewed articles written in English. The inclusion criteria consisted of (1) experimental or quasi-experimental studies, (2) utilization of different exercise therapies as experimental interventions, (3) inclusion of stroke patients as the target population, and (4) assessment of quality of life as an outcome measure.
Results: The analysis included 25 studies involving 1243 subjects aged 18 years or older. The network meta-analysis revealed that among the 6 exercise therapies examined, Virtual Reality Training (82.3%) had the most significant impact on improving the quality of life in stroke patients. This was followed by Resistance Training (77.3%), Mind-Body Training (61%), Underwater Exercise (52%), Aerobic Exercise Training (44.1%), and High-Intensity Interval Training (19.2%).
Conclusions: Virtual reality training was found to be highly effective in improving the quality of life in stroke patients. In addition, when combined with other exercise therapies, it enhanced physical function and overall quality of life.
目的:探讨6种运动疗法对脑卒中患者生活质量的影响。方法:系统检索PubMed、Web of Science、PsycINFO和Cochrane Library,检索同行评议的英文文章。纳入标准包括:(1)实验或准实验研究,(2)使用不同的运动疗法作为实验干预,(3)纳入卒中患者作为目标人群,(4)评估生活质量作为结果测量。结果:该分析包括25项研究,涉及1243名年龄在18岁或以上的受试者。网络荟萃分析显示,在研究的6种运动疗法中,虚拟现实训练(82.3%)对改善中风患者的生活质量影响最大。其次是阻力训练(77.3%)、身心训练(61%)、水下运动(52%)、有氧运动训练(44.1%)和高强度间歇训练(19.2%)。结论:虚拟现实训练对提高脑卒中患者的生活质量非常有效。此外,当与其他运动疗法相结合时,它可以增强身体功能和整体生活质量。
