Summary

Stroke is the leading cause in the world considering disabilities and approximately half of the patient population experience post stroke fatigue (PSF). PSF affects the patients level of activity and their quality of life. Even patients with mild stroke claim that PSF is one of the main reasons hindering them from being physically active.

People suffering from stroke generally have lower physical capacity compared to healthy individuals of the same age and they are spending more time in sedentary. Physical inactivity is considered to be one of the main modifiable risk factors for stroke. There is strong evidence that physical activity will improve health and reduce the risk of future strokes.

Evaluation of interventions to reduce PSF is a prioritized research field since it is currently lacking evidence. There is a possibility that physical training can have a positive effect on PSF.

Digital alternatives to on-site visits will increase the availability and can strengthen the patients independence which is according to the government and Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner ( SKR) common vision for e-health.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of individualized, digital coaching twice a week for 12 weeks with "Physical activity on prescription" (FaR) to increase physical activity and reduce PSF after stroke.
