NCT ID NCT07649135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a 6-week program that combines a pedometer with phone or video coaching is practical for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. 24 participants will track their steps and set goals with an occupational therapist. The main goal is to see if people stick with the program, not to measure health improvements.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Physical Activity Chats after Stroke (PA-ChatS) - a behavioral program using a pedometer and phone/video coaching sessions
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a simple step-counting program is practical for stroke survivors, paving the way for larger studies on improving physical activity after stroke.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study (24 people) with no control group, so it cannot prove the program improves health. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors.
