Abstract
- The aim was to identify the barriers to achieving premorbid physical activity in patients with home discharge after acute minor stroke or transient ischemic attack. Fifty-six patients (median age, 72 years) were analyzed. We assessed total physical activity in the premorbid condition and at 90 days after onset using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The patients were divided into two groups according to changes in total physical activity until 90 days after onset: decreased activity (n = 16) and nondecreased activity (n = 40) groups. Outcome measures were examined at discharge. The decreased activity group took significantly longer to perform the timed up and go test (median, 7.19 vs. 6.52 s) and contained more apathetic patients (44% vs. 15%). Apathy at discharge (relative risk 6.05, 95% confidence interval [1.33, 27.6]) was a significant determinant of decreased physical activity. Apathy is a barrier to the restoration of premorbid physical activity in stroke survivors.
