Similarities and differences in factors associated with high and low sedentary behavior after stroke: a mixed methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify similarities and differences in factors affecting activity engagement between adults with stroke who are more and less sedentary.

Materials and methods

Data were pooled from two studies of adults with stroke (N = 36). Sedentary time was measured activPAL micro3. Participants completed activPAL interviews, which were analyzed using framework analysis. Participants were stratified into more and less sedentary groups based on activPAL data. Between-group similarities and differences were identified.

Results

Adults with stroke (mean [SD] age = 65.8 [13.6] years, stroke chronicity = 40.5 [SD = 38.3] months, 36.1% female) were more sedentary (785.5 [64.7] sedentary minutes/day) and less sedentary (583.6 [87.4] sedentary minutes/day). Those who wer
