STROKE, STROKE
Stroke is a major public health problem because of its frequency and the resulting physical and cognitive disabilities [Physical activity (PA) appears to have a favorable effect on QOL in the general population [Unfortunately, the authors who studied the durability of these benefits showed that they were not maintained over time after the PA program was stopped and that most PA programs were carried out in medicalized structures with a standardized PA program [As far as we know, up until now, no study has evaluated the impact of a PA incentive program based on the measurement of spontaneous PA using three incentive strategies: accelerometer, telephone calls, and home visits. In this context, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of a 6-month home-based PA incentive program on the QOL of patients in the subacute phase of stroke recovery.
