Promoting physical activity after stroke via self-management: a feasibility study.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Persons with stroke commonly have serious sequelae requiring long-term medical treatment. They often experience distress, and thus improving quality of life (QOL) has been considered a therapeutic objective in addition to prolonging the patient's life. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to analyze the impa...
