Conditions

Detailed Description

This is a 8-week multimodal exercise rehabilitation program (MERP) based on aerobic exercise, task oriented activities, balance and stretching exercises complemented with a mobile app technology. The aim of the MERP is to improve walking speed, walking ability, activities of daily living and quality of life among people who have suffered a stroke. The mobile app technology complements the MERP in order to achieve long term adherence to healthy physical activity.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adherence
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Adherence will be monitored with an app that will record activity time (walking time and distance)
8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Gait speed
Time Frame: 8 weeks
Gait speed will be measured with the Ten Meter Walking Test (10MWT). Participants will be given a 2-meter warm-up distance for walking, preceding the 10-meter distance, and 2 meters beyond the 10 meters. The time that takes to walk 10 meters at a comfortable pace and at their maximum speed will be registered in meters/second
