Dessa resultat kan tänkas användas i sjukvården, för att hjälpa sjukvårdspersonal att identifiera patientgrupper som är i behov av åtgärder för att förbättra livskvalitet. Möjliga åtgärder som kan prövas är att behandla ångest, depression och smärta och att underlätta för de strokedrabbade att delta i olika vardagsaktiviteter.
Resultaten visar även på att fysiska aktivitetsvanor har betydelse för hur livet blir efter en stroke. Resultatet utgör ett exempel på hur viktigt fysisk aktivitet är för hälsan och innebär motivation för att uppmuntra enskilda individer att röra på sig, och att sjukvård och politiska beslutsfattare bör satsa på fysisk aktivitet som förebyggande friskvård.
