For stroke survivors, light physical activity linked to better daily function
(PHYSorg.com Medicine & Health)

Researchers used accelerometers to measure daily physical activity in 30 stroke survivors for a week, assessing how much the participants moved and how well they performed routine physical tasks. The study revealed that stroke survivors who engaged in a lot of light physical activity-taking leisurely walks or attending to nonstrenuous household chores, for example-also reported fewer physical limitations than their more sedentary peers.
