Effectiveness of an institution-based adapted physical activity programme versus a home-based self-management programme for chronic poststroke adults: protocol for a randomised controlled study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Physical activity (PA) protects the cardiovascular system and reduces the risk of stroke recurrence. However, most stroke survivors have significantly lower daily PA levels than those recommended. Adapted PA programmes provide a useful means of increasing the daily PA levels of this population. PA programmes designed to encourage people walking have been found to be more effective than no intervention. Some programmes have been applied in institutional settings while others are done on an independent basis. The aim of this study will be to compare the two methods in terms of their impact on the daily walking rates of subjects with spastic hemiparesis following a chronic stroke. Secondary outcomes will include effects on walking ability, endurance, balance, quality of l
