Interventions

  • Physical Activity Chats after Stroke (PA-ChatS) — BEHAVIORAL
    PA-ChatS consists of (1) self-monitoring step count using a pedometer, and (2) behavioral activation for stepping activity delivered via the telephone or Zoom and guided by the PA-ChatS workbook. Participants will receive education regarding physical activity after stroke, American Heart Association guidelines for post-stroke physical activity levels, and an overview of the intervention activities. They will then use a pedometer to monitor average daily step counts, set new step count goals (increasing by 5 to 10% of the daily average step count from the prior week), and create a specific plan for achieving the new step count goal. The interventionist will collaboratively problem solve with the participant to identify strategies to overcome barriers to stepping activity and maintain safety.

Study Details

The goal of this study is to explore the feasibility of a new approach to rehabilitation that focuses on step count. Participants will complete 6 telephone or Zoom-based sessions with an occupational therapist over 6 weeks and use a step count tracker during that time. They will also complete questionnaires, assessments, surveys, and physical activity measurements during study weeks 0 (baseline), 3 (mid-point), 7 (post-intervention) and 12 (follow-up).
