Effect of Individualized Coaching at Home on Quality of Life in Subacute Stroke Patients.

ABSTRACT: Background: Stroke causes psychological disorders and cognitive impairments that affect activities of daily living and quality of life. Physical activity (PA) in stroke recovery is beneficial. The benefits of PA on quality of life after stroke are less documented. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of a home-based PA incentive program at home in post-stroke patients in the subacute phase on quality of life. Methods: This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind, and monocentric clinical trial. Eighty-three patients were randomly assigned to either an experimental group (EG; n = 42) or to a control group (CG; n = 41). The experimental group followed a home-based PA incentive program for 6 months. Three incentive methods were used: daily monitoring
