Overview

Scoping review maps stakeholder experiences and perceptions of community-based exercise interventions for stroke survivors, suggesting areas for improvement and optimization.

Key Points

  • This scoping review aimed to summarize and map studies investigating experiences and perceptions of stroke stakeholders regarding group exercise interventions.
  • Six databases and grey literature sources were searched along with citation tracking.
  • Studies investigating perceptions or experiences of community-based, group exercise programs among stroke stakeholders were included.
  • Qualitative content analysis was performed to identify common categories across included studies.
  • Sixty-six studies were included, focusing on various stakeholders such as patients (35 studies), carers (1), staff (7), and multiple groups (23).
  • Identified categories included benefits (49 studies), motivators and facilitators (37), barriers (41), positive aspects (52), areas for improvement (38), need for community exercise programs (12), and evaluation/outcome data (4).
  • Significant heterogeneity was noted in the exercise programs evaluated.
