The Active Transition Home Post-Stroke Program

Post-stroke participants will wear wearable sensors for one week at 1-week prior to discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, 3- and 7- weeks post-discharge and 3-months post-discharge. All participants will wear sensors but only participants in the intervention group will receive sensor-informed activity feedback (e.g., activity, sleep and sedentary behaviour) and feedback informed goal setting sessions with a physiotherapist. The feedback forms will be co-created with physiotherapists working at GF Strong. Focus group(s) will be conducted to collect the opinions of clinicians with respect to measures to be included in the feedback form. At 3-months post-discharge, participants will be interviewed regarding their experience with the sensors. This study will explore the feasibility and initial benefits of using wearable sensors paired with goal setting to assist in the maintenance of activity levels during a difficult period for stroke survivors (transitioning home from rehab).
