USING MIXED EFFECTS GROWTH MODEL TO EXAMINE LONG-TERM COURSE OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES AMONG POSTSTROKE PATIENTS

Abstract

Restoring function and regaining physical activity (PA) is a fundamental goal of post-stroke rehabilitation programs, yet empirical evidence is lacking for long-term PA. Using data from the Nor-COAST study, we followed 277 individuals (mean age at baseline: 70.1, SD 10.9).
