Examining daily physical activity in community-dwelling adults with stroke using social cognitive theory: an exploratory, qualitative study.

CONCLUSIONS: Participants reported that the investigated Social Cognitive Theory constructs were important psychosocial factors for daily physical activity. Future research and clinical investigations should empirically test the use of strategies to modify these factors for promoting daily physical activity in community-dwelling adults with stroke. Implications for rehabilitation Interventions to increase physical activity after stroke are needed. Outcomes expectations, self-efficacy, self-regulation, and social support were reported by participants as important psychosocial factors underlying daily physical activity. These psychosocial factors should be explored with individual patients and clients to determine which are most deficient, and where amenable to change, targeted for intervention to promote daily physical activity.
