Title: Reshaping Exercise Habits and Beliefs (REHAB): Pilot Testing of a Behavioral Intervention to Improve Mobility After Stroke
Brief Summary: Regular exercise has been demonstrated to improve muscle strength, balance, coordination as well as improve cardiovascular fitness levels and overall quality of life in stroke survivors. This study is designed to test the feasibility and effectiveness of a 12-week intervention to education and encourage stroke survivors to exercise following discharge from rehabilitation settings using a walking program and targeted functional activity homework.
