Telehealth program to boost physical activity after stroke

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 feasibility randomized controlled trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a telehealth intervention using the HEARTS Technical Package and an activity monitor to promote physical activity in individuals post-stroke. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving the telehealth intervention and activity monitor or a control group receiving only the telehealth intervention. The study will last for 12 weeks, with outcomes measured by a blinded researcher to ensure objectivity. The research will focus on evaluating the feasibility of the intervention and gathering data for a future larger-scale study.
