What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a telehealth-delivered Group Lifestyle Balance program specifically designed for individuals who have experienced a stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group receiving the program or a wait-list control group for six months. The program aims to promote healthy lifestyle changes through virtual support and guidance, leveraging technology to reach a diverse population of stroke survivors. The study will involve collaboration with patient partners and peer mentors to enhance engagement and outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are individuals who are at least 12 months post-stroke, have a body mass index of 25 or higher, and can participate in physical activity.
Not a fit: Patients who have contraindications for physical activity, low cognitive function, or reside in a healthcare facility may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this program could significantly improve the health and quality of life for stroke survivors by promoting sustainable lifestyle changes.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with telehealth interventions for chronic disease management, suggesting potential success for this approach in stroke rehabilitation.
