New program aims to keep stroke survivors moving
NCT ID NCT07569497
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Most stroke survivors struggle to stay physically active after rehab, raising their risk of another stroke. This study works with survivors, carers, and staff to design a program that supports long-term activity. 34 participants will help shape and test the program.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Co-designed physical activity maintenance program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a practical program that helps stroke survivors stay active long-term, reducing their risk of a second stroke and other health problems.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (34 participants) focused on designing and testing the program, not proving it works. The results may not apply to all stroke survivors.
