Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Physical Activation on Prescription can help patients with TIA to become more physically active.
One group will receives Physical Activation on Prescription (PaP)and the other group will receives usual care.
And to identify if persons with TIA presents with cognitive impairments.
Detailed Description
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a transient episode of neurologic dysfunction caused by ischemia, i.e. loss of blood flow. The symptoms of a TIA typically resolve within 24 hours. Attacks lasting more than 30 minutes are unusual. TIAs and strokes present with the same symptoms such as sudden weakness, numbness, sudden dimming or loss of vision, aphasia, slurred speech, facial palsy and mental impairments. Subtle problems with cognitive functions and fatigue may not always be addressed before discharge. However, even subtle mental impairments are important to identify, given the problems they might pose.
