This study aimed at establishing the impact of community-based rehabilitation (CBR) on the physical functioning and activity of daily living (ADL) of patients with stroke (PWS). Based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, an electronic search was conducted in five databases, including PubMed, OVID Embase, OVID Medline, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science between May 2010 and 2020. Meta-analysis was performed using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Version 2 software to establish whether the studies were sufficiently homogenous. Twenty studies out of 828 publications were included in the present systematic review. A significant difference between CBR intervention and control groups was identified about the physical functional capacity in mobility, 6-metre walk test (6MWT) ( g  = 0.351, 95% CI (0.110, 0.592)), community walking test (g= −0.473, 95% CI (−0.926, −0.020)) and on the other hand a significant improvement in ADL was found ( g  = 0.138, 95% CI(0.051, 0.224)). CBR is revealed to be effective in improving the physical functioning and ADL for PWS and is drawn based on eligible studies which were conducted in high-income countries (HICs). This highlights a gap between developed and less-resourced countries as far as CBR for PWS is concerned and calls for a further study.
