OBJECTIVE: This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the effects of resistance training in supporting the recovery in stroke patients. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and the PEDro databases were reviewed up to 30 April 2020. REVIEW METHODS: Randomized controlled trials were included, who compared: (i) resistance training with no intervention, (ii) resistance training with other interventions and (iii) different resistance training protocols in stroke rehabilitation. RESULTS: Overall 30 trials ( CONCLUSION: Current data indicates that resistance training may be beneficial in supporting the recovery of stroke patients. However, the current evidence is insufficient for evidence-based rehabilitation.
