Physical activity on prescription at the time of stroke or transient ischemic attack diagnosis - from a patient perspective.

Conclusion: Individuals need to participate in the prescription process when prescription on physical activity is initiated in acute stroke care and clinicians need to reflect on how the prescription is implemented and followed-up; creating good conditions for long-term effects. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION When prescribing physical activity on prescription healthcare providers in acute stroke care need to consider: • The right timing: when and how physical activity on prescription should be given. • How to create opportunities for individuals to participate in the prescription process. • How to create individual adaptation of the prescription. • How to ensure that follow-up is conducted by registered healthcare professionals with knowledge of physical activity as disease prevention.
