Physical Activity in Community‐Dwelling Stroke Survivors and a Healthy Population Is Not Explained by Motor Function Only

Persons who have experienced a stroke and live in the community are less physically active than the population of the same age who have not had a stroke. However, it appears that factors other than motor impairment have an impact on a person's PA level, because only a low association was found between PA level and motor function, with a large dispersion in PA levels in persons with a history of stroke who were physically well recovered.
