Abstract

ABSTRACTTrial designStepped-wedge cluster superiority randomized controlled trial.ObjectiveThis study aimed to determine if Promoting Optimal Physical Exercise for Life (PROPEL) program increases participation in physical activity up to six months post-discharge from stroke rehabilitation, compared to participation in group cardiorespiratory exercise (GCE) alone.MethodsPeople with sub-acute stroke participated in the PROPEL (n=107) or GCE (n=65) intervention phases. The primary outcome was adherence to physical activity guidelines over seven days at six months post-discharge from rehabilitation. Secondary outcomes were exercise self-efficacy (Short Self-Efficacy for Exercise scale), exercise-related beliefs and attitudes (Short Outcome Expectation for Exercise scale), and perceived barriers to physical activity (Barriers to Being Active Quiz).ResultsFifty seven participants (PROPEL, n=29; GCE, n=28) were included in the analysis. At six months post-discharge, 6/17 PROPEL participants and 9/22 GCE participants met the guidelines for intensity and duration of physical activity; the odds of meeting the physical activity guidelines did not differ between phases (p>0.84). PROPEL participants reported higher self-efficacy for exercise than GCE participants (p=0.0047).ConclusionsParticipation in the PROPEL increases self-efficacy for exercise compared to GCE alone after stroke. However, increased self-efficacy for exercise did not increase the odds of meeting physical activity guidelines.Trial registrationNCT02951338
