| dc.description.abstract | Background: Stroke patients often exhibit low levels of physical activity, spending prolonged periods of time in sedentary behaviors and sitting throughout the day. This condition can be improved by reducing sedentary behavior and engaging in regular physical activities. Objective: This literature review aims to examine the depiction of sedentary behavior in post-stroke clients. Method: The literature review was conducted by searching articles in databases such as Springer, Science Direct, Pubmed, Sage Journal, and Google Scholar, using the keywords "sedentary behavior" and "stroke." The selected research journals were published between 2018 and 2022. Results: The review yielded 10 journals divided into two topics: factors related to sedentary behavior in stroke patients (n=5) and the portrayal of sedentary behavior in stroke patients (n=5). The majority of studies contributing to this literature review were randomized controlled trials (RCTs), cohort studies, quasi-experimental studies, cross-sectional studies, and qualitative studies. Discussion: Factors associated with sedentary behavior in post-stroke clients include personal factors, body function and activity, psychological factors, and institutional factors (rehabilitation process, environment, and caregiver). Regularly reducing sedentary behavior by engaging in various activities and minimizing prolonged sitting time can decrease the risk of further disability in stroke patients. Conclusion: It is crucial to reduce sedentary behavior by increasing light physical activity and minimizing continuous sitting time to lower the recurrence rate of stroke and achieve better recovery outcomes. | en_US |
