TL;DR
Patients with stroke admitted to Indian hospitals spent less time being inactive and alone and more time with family participating in therapeutic activities, suggesting the presence of family members with the patients during hospital stay may be a significant resource for encouraging patients to be more active.
Abstract
Patients with stroke admitted to Indian hospitals spent less time being inactive and alone and more time with family participating in therapeutic activities. The presence of family members with the patients during hospital stay may be a significant resource for encouraging patients to be more active.
