Stroke survivors' perceptions of the factors that influence engagement in activity outside dedicated therapy sessions in a rehabilitation unit: A qualitative study

CONCLUSION: At the individual level, stroke survivors perceived that their ability to be active outside of dedicated therapy sessions was influenced by their impairments, including mood, and their attitude towards and preference for activity. At the ward level, stroke survivors perceived that their ability to be active was influenced by ward set-up, rules and staff expectations. Visitors were perceived to be important facilitators of activity outside of therapy sessions.PMID:35290136 | DOI:10.1177/02692155221087424
