Statistical comparisons were carried out using a random effects model to calculate standardized mean differences. RESULTS: We identified three eligible trials. Small numbers and heterogeneous outcomes limited the analyses and comparisons. Based on the limited data available, we found that @entity65 post @entity64 was no better than no exercise with respect to disability, impairment, extended activities of daily living, quality of life and @entity204 . CONCLUSION: Insufficient evidence was identified to establish if @entity65 has a positive effect on disability, impairment, extended activities of daily living, quality of life and case fatality post @entity64 .
