Boysen et al. [16] and Lindahl et al. [23] | Multicentre, multinational, randomised clinical trial | Intervention: M = 89; F = 68. Controls: M = 88; F = 69. | Intervention: median = 69.7; IQR = (60.0–77.7) Control: median = 69.4; IQR = (59.6–75.8) | <90 days of stroke symptoms + follow up at 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24 months | Self-reported PASE* (range 0–400) (physical activity in preceding seven days) Collected in the week prior to stroke and at each followup time | Median PASE scores range between 3–24 months (control group: 64–68) | 18 |

Danielsson et al. [17, 18] | Cross-sectional | M = 22; F = 9. | Mean = 59.7 (SD = 8.1, range = 36–73) | Mean = 8.5 yrs (SD = 0.9) | Self-reported PASE* (physical activity in preceding seven days) | Mean PASE score = 124 (SD = 67, range = 31–241) | 15 |

Pang et al. [33, 34] | Randomised Controlled Trial | Intervention: M = 19; F = 13. Controls: M = 18; F = 13. | Intervention: mean = 65.8 (SD = 9.1); Control: mean = 64.7 (SD = 8.4) | Intervention: mean = 5.2 (SD = 5.0); Control: mean = 5.1 (SD = 3.6) | Self-reported PASIPD† (max. score 199.5 MET h/d) (physical activity in preceding seven days) | Baseline Physical Activity Level (MET h/d out of 199.5): intervention: mean = 7.9 (SD = 7.8); control: mean = 10.6 (SD = 9.8) (there was no significant difference between intervention and controls) | 14 |

Teixeira-Salmela et al. [40] | Cross-sectional | Stroke: M = 13; F = 11. Control: M = 8; F = 15. | Stroke: mean = 63.69 (SD = 11.57, range = 39–84.5). Control: mean = 65.52 (SD = 6.35, range = 39–85) | 2.03 yrs (SD = 2.41, range = 4 months to 8 years) | Self-reported HAP‡ (adjusted score measures average typical metabolic equivalent levels (MET) in a day based on energy expended in a variety of activities) | Stroke survivors adjusted HAP score: self-reported: mean = 52.79 (SD = 16.18, range = 25–84) observed: mean = 52.79 (SD = 16.12, range = 25–83) proxy: mean = 47.96 (SD = 18.69, range = 17–88) | 15 |

Teixeira-Salmela et al. [41] | Randomised pretest posttest control group design | Total: M = 7; F = 6 | Total: mean = 67.73 (SD = 9.2) | Total: mean = 7.67 yrs (SD = 9.42, range = 1–34) | Self-reported HAP‡ (see above) | Baseline adjusted HAP score: mean = 52.31 (SD = 13.28) | 14 |
