Summary

Stroke survivors demonstrate high levels of sedentary behavior, placing them at risk for exacerbation of chronic health conditions. This may lead to recurrent stroke. Subtle cognitive impairments are common after stroke and can lead to difficulty self-monitoring and problem solving to overcome barriers to physical activity. Investigators developed the Activating Behavior for Lasting Engagement (ABLE) intervention to promote activity scheduling, self-monitoring, and problem solving activity over the full day. This study examines the effects of the ABLE intervention on sedentary behavior after stroke.

Detailed description

The study advisory committee added a dose-matched, no-intervention delayed baseline to the study protocol following initial documentation of this study protocol on clinicaltrials.gov. The purpose of this delayed baseline design was to assess the baseline stability on the primary and secondary outcomes. The addition of this timepoint resulted in a shift of post-intervention timepoints as follows: Baseline 1 (week 1), Baseline 2 (week 6), Post-intervention (week 11), and Follow-up (week 18). Intervention was delivered between Baseline 2 and Post-intervention.
