Summary

The goal of this study is to explore the feasibility of a new approach to rehabilitation that focuses on step count. Participants will complete 6 telephone or Zoom-based sessions with an occupational therapist over 6 weeks and use a step count tracker during that time. They will also complete questionnaires, assessments, surveys, and physical activity measurements during study weeks 0 (baseline), 3 (mid-point), 7 (post-intervention) and 12 (follow-up).

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Physical Activity Chats after Stroke (PA-ChatS)

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