Summary

The purpose of this exploratory study is to investigate how a predetermined outdoor walking program (12 weeks) is best delivered to individuals with stroke over 18 years, either by smartphone and the Short Message Service (SMS) or video link.

Furthermore, the aim is to investigate how the study design works in practice and determine the effects of the outdoor walking exercise program in combination with a leg exercise on physical functioning (walking capacity, gait speed, mobility and grip strength).

Training after acute stroke

Outdoor walking: Participants will receive daily training instructions via Short message Service (SMS) over 12 weeks. The walks are increased in frequency and intensity. The intensity are rated using the Borg scale to 12-15. The first 2 weeks begins with daily walks of 10 minutes. The last 4 weeks the walk training will partly be performed in intervals in combination with conventional outdoor walks. The interval training includes warming-up (5 minutes), fast walking for 4 minutes alternated with slower walking for three minutes. This is repeated 3 times, followed by cooling down for about five minutes. Strength training: to repeatedly get up from sitting. Number of repetitions will increase from 5-20 per set and will be performed daily in 3 sets with a short rest between each set.
