Project Details
Description
Long-term mobility after stroke is a major problem; many people decline after rehabilitation ends1. Community exercise programs have demonstrated improvements in mobility, however they are hard to access (availability and cost) which is an acknowledged frustration by people with lived experience2-4. The ideal model of service delivery for a community mobility program >6-months after stroke is unknown.
There is a need to investigate novel ways of delivering mobility training in the community after stroke. We hypothesise that accessing a therapy boost may allow people to achieve their mobility goals irrespective of their time since stroke. We hypothesise that such booster sessions may be required on a repeat basis. This project will answer the question – are mobility boosters offered in the community a promising model to improve mobility?
