First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This pilot study tests whether automated, personalized coping messages can help stroke survivors increase their physical activity. Researchers will enroll 50 adults who had a stroke 3 months to 3 years ago and can walk without help. The main goal is to see if the program is practical and keeps participants engaged over 3 months.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult Patients Diagnosed with Stroke: Participants must be adults (age ≥ 18) who have been clinically diagnosed with a stroke between 3 months and 3 years. 2. Community-Dwelling: Participants should be living independently in the community rather than in institutional settings such as nursing homes or hospitals. 3. Independently Mobile: Participants must be able to walk without any aid or assistance, corresponding to a modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0-2. 4. Physically Inactive: Participants should have engaged in less than 10 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in the past week. 5. Internet Access: Participants must have access to the Internet for at least a few hours every day. 6. Medically Cleared to participate: Before enrollment, participants must obtain medical clearance to ensure they are fit to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Participating in Another Research Project Involving Physical Activity: To avoid potential confounding variables that could affect the study's outcomes. 2. Planning to Move or Have Surgery in the Next 6 Months: Participants who plan to move or undergo surgery within the next six months may face disruptions that could affect their ability to complete the study. 3. Cognitive Impairment: Cognitive impairment can affect a participant's ability to understand and follow study protocols, which is crucial for informed consent and reliable data collection.
