Abbreviations: n, number of studies reporting each outcome; NR, not reported.
Examples of caregiver engagement: inform: educate caregivers on how they can support patients in ADLs, including walking and transportation; activate: train caregivers on assisting patients perform exercises; collaborate: allow caregivers to contact the study therapist by telerehabilitation if they need additional support.
Includes studies that reported patient mobility.
Study did not analyze outcomes to test for statistical significance.
