Feasibility of a First-Line Physical Activity Intervention After Stroke

"PA-ChatS consists of (1) self-monitoring step count using a Fitbit Inspire, and (2) behavioral activation for stepping activity delivered via the telephone and guided by the PA-ChatS workbook.~Participants will receive education regarding the physical activity after stroke, American Heart/Stroke Association guidelines for post-stroke physical activity levels, and an overview of the intervention activities. They will then use the Fitbit data to monitor average daily step counts, set a 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."
