A lot more goes on beneath the surface following a stroke. For survivors, adjusting to life after the event is challenging due to the various hidden factors they often experience.

Our exercise physiologists are knowledgeable of these factors and take them into consideration when designing your rehabilitation program. We can assist you to restore physical factors that can be addressed, or help you adjust to your bodies as they are now.

If you would like to work with us, please reach out.

This month we are highlighting: STROKE 🧠

Top 3 Functional Tests for Post-Stroke Assessment

☝️ Why these simple tests matter in recovery;

Aerobic exercises like walking and cycling, strength training with resistance bands, balance exercises like tandem walking, and functional movements such as repeated sit-to-stand motions are great exercises to start with!
Additionally, exercises to improve fine motor skills or cognitive exercise could also be included.

💡 Post-stroke rehab should be personalised, measurable, and safe. These 3 tests offer a clear picture of a patient’s functional status:

🕐 1. Timed Up & Go (TUG)

👨‍🔬 Normative reference values;
- 60–69 years: ~8.1 s (95% CI: 7.1–9.0)
- 70–79 years: ~9.2 s (8.2–10.2)
- 80–99 years: ~11.3 s (10.0–12.7)

*Scores >14 s have been linked to increased fall risk in community-dwelling older adults

⚖️ 2. Balance Tests (e.g. Berg Balance Scale)

👩‍🔬 Clinical Relevance;
Individuals ≥ 60 yrs who can stand on one leg for less than 5–6 seconds are at markedly increased risk for falls during daily activities.

Those in the 80+ bracket often decline below the 10 s mark—and are clinically vulnerable—so even small improvements (moving from ~5 s to ~10 s) may be meaningful.

🚶‍♀️ 3. 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT)

🧑‍🔬 Community older adults:
- 60–69 yrs: Men ~572 m / Women ~538 m
- 70–79 yrs: Men ~527 m / Women ~471 m
- 80–89 yrs: Men ~417 m / Women ~392 m

🔁 Together, these tests:
✅ Offer a full view of recovery needs
✅ Guide tailored rehab goals
✅ Improve safety & daily function

👋 If you or someone you know has suffered a Stroke or is experiencing similar declines in strength or balance, please get in touch 😁
We are always looking to help more people!
