This study introduces an exercise program for stroke survivors, using self-efficacy theory to boost motivation and increase physical activity post-rehabilitation. The intervention aims to improve long-term exercise adherence and functional recovery in older adults.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Rehabilitation Medicine
Health Psychology

Background:

Stroke is a primary cause of long-term disability in older adults.
Many stroke survivors lack exercise recommendations and motivation post-rehabilitation.
Exercise is crucial for recovery, yet adherence remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe a novel exercise intervention for subacute stroke survivors.
To utilize the self-efficacy theory framework to enhance exercise motivation and behavior.
To provide a model for developing and implementing theory-based interventions.

Main Methods:

The intervention is grounded in self-efficacy theory.
It includes motivational and educational components.
