Abstract: This is a second-order peer review of the article by English et al. that determined whether additional weekend therapy (physiotherapy and/or occupational therapy) reduced the length of rehabilitation stay compared with weekday-only therapy in people with stroke. Secondary goals were to determine whether additional weekend therapy improved walking and activities of daily living at discharge and health-related quality of life at 6 months after discharge and lastly which characteristics were associated with shorter length of rehabilitation stay. This article reviews the methods, results, validity of conclusions, strengths and limitations, and clinical utility of the study.
