Program to Increase Physical Activity in Stroke Survivors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to determine if a behavioral change intervention can enhance physical activity levels among stroke survivors living in the community. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group, which receives personalized physical activity counseling, or a control group that receives usual care. The effectiveness of the intervention will be assessed at three time points over a six-month period. The study will recruit participants through various channels, including stroke clinics and support organizations, and will involve screening for eligibility based on specific criteria.
