STROKE, RECRUITMENT
A recruitment bias was detected during inclusion. The participants were mainly patients with a high level of autonomy (BI of >90 points), and motricity (mFAC > 6), and patients with very severe stroke do not wish to be included in this study. It would be interesting to evaluate whether this type of program could be feasible and provide benefits for far less autonomous patients.In our study, it is difficult to estimate the contribution of physical activity in improving the quality of life of participants. Other factors may confound the results, such as the regular presence of health professionals from the HEMIPASS team in the homes of EG patients (every 3 weeks). This could easily help to improve patients’ quality of life. On this subject, it is important to recall that all patients included in the study benefited from the monitoring of the HEMIPASS mobile team. EG patients had more regular monitoring. We assume that the improvement in quality of life in our sample can be explained by the regular and individualized monitoring of the incentive program.
