About this trial

This randomized control trial (RCT) aims to test the effect of a 12 weeks tailored behavioral intervention on stroke survivors living in the community and compare the results to a control group of stroke survivors participating in standard care. The intervention's purpose is to lower the time spend with sedentary behavior and raise the level of physical activity in stroke survivors throughout their everyday life. The intervention contains two motivational interviews with a focus on goal setting, action planning, motivation, fatigue management, and general information on life after stroke. The primary outcome for behavior change is objectively measured physical activity using an activity tracker (ActivPal4 Micro) and secondary glycohemoglobin and changes in quality of life.
