What this trial studies
This randomized control trial tests a 12-week tailored behavioral intervention aimed at reducing sedentary behavior and increasing physical activity among stroke survivors living in the community. Participants will receive two motivational interviews focusing on goal setting, action planning, and fatigue management, while a control group will receive standard care. The primary outcome will be measured using an activity tracker, with secondary outcomes including glycohemoglobin levels and quality of life assessments.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are stroke survivors who have been discharged with a rehabilitation plan and can ambulate independently.
Not a fit: Patients with severe aphasia, mental illness, or other significant co-morbidities may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly improve the physical activity levels and overall quality of life for stroke survivors.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown success in using behavioral interventions to increase physical activity in stroke survivors, indicating a promising approach.
