Self-management 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 focuses on stroke survivors in the Valencian Community, particularly examining the differences in sedentary behavior between men and women with chronic stroke sequelae. It aims to develop and implement a self-management program designed to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time among participants. The program will include educational components to empower individuals to manage their activity levels effectively. The study will assess the impact of these interventions on the participants' overall health and functional outcomes.

* having enough cognitive capacity to provide informed consent and to understand and answer the questions proposed

Exclusion Criteria:

* not having a strength deficit in the lower limbs or walking difficulties
* having poor vital prognosis or suffering from other pathologies or disorders that may alter the development of the study (blindness, severe sensitivity alteration, musculoskeletal or cardiovascular conditions that contraindicate the performance of physical activity...)
