Activating Behavior to Reduce Sedentary Behavior After Stroke: A Nonrandomized Pilot Feasibility Study.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Reducing poststroke sedentary behavior is important for reducing recurrent stroke risk, yet interventions to achieve this are scant.

Objective

To assess the feasibility of, and estimate change in sedentary behavior over time associated with, a behavioral intervention.

Design

Single-arm delayed baseline with postintervention and 8-wk follow-up assessment.

Setting

Community based.

Participants

Ambulatory, community-dwelling people with chronic stroke and reported ≥6 hr daily sitting time (N = 21).

Intervention
