简要总结
What is United4Stroke (U4S)? United4Stroke is a research program at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) that aims to help stroke survivors become more active and reduce sedentary time through education, movement, and personalized coaching.
Where Does It Happen?
All sessions take place at:
UTEP's Rehabilitation Sciences Complex located at 3333 North Mesa Street, El Paso, TX 79902
What is Involved?
The program includes 12 total visits over several months:
- 8 group sessions (held every two weeks)
- 4 individual evaluation visits (before, during, and after the program)
Who Can Participate?
- Individuals 18 years of age or older who have had a stroke at least 6 months prior to joining the study.
- Family caregivers may also join
What Happens During the Visits?
First Visit:
- Learn about the study and give consent
- Answer questions about memory, movement, general health, and daily activity
- Do walking and mobility tests
- Get fitted with a small movement sensor (ActivPAL) and a Fitbit
Group Sessions (Visits 2-8):
- Topics: physical activity, sitting less, balance and falls, and activities of daily living
- Led by UTEP physical therapy faculty
- Includes group discussions and hands-on activities
- Some participants will also get one-on-one coaching to help with physical activity engagement, daily step count, and reducing sedentary behavior.
Follow-Up Visits (Visits 9 and 11):
- Repeat earlier tests to check progress
- Share feedback about the program
Final Visit (Visit 10):
- Celebrate progress!
- Social gathering, certificates, and a presentation of results
Goal:

详细描述
Specific Aims:
Aim 1: To evaluate the adherence rate, attendance, and satisfaction associated with a community health program that combines group-based education with individual coaching sessions for stroke survivors and their caregivers.
Hypothesis 1.1: A community health program incorporating group-based education and individual coaching sessions for stroke survivors will demonstrate acceptable rates of adherence and attendance.
Hypothesis 1.2: Stroke survivors and their caregivers will report satisfaction with a group-based education community health program.
