Background and study aims
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. One in three of the people that survive the first stroke have a recurrent stroke or pass away within five years. Therefore secondary prevention aimed at reducing important risk factors such as high blood pressure, impaired glucose tolerance and unhealthy lifestyle (smoking and physical inactivity) is of vital importance.
The importance of physical activity after stroke is well known and integrated into usual care and treatment guidelines. Recent research has shown that high amounts of sedentary behaviour ( time during the day spend sitting, lying or reclining) increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and death, even when someone spends sufficient amount of time in moderate to vigorous physical activities. Sedentary behaviour is most harmful if this is accumulated over 10 hours a day and in prolonged bouts and physical activity levels are low. For people with high amounts of sedentary behaviour accumulated in prolonged bouts an intervention to help people reduce their sedentary behaviour once they return home after having a stroke seem highly relevant.

A blended care intervention was developed using the behaviour change wheel and the CEHRES model. Elements will be eCoaching technologies, self-monitoring and face to face contact with a physiotherapist to support behavioural change. The intervention was developed in co-design with people with stroke, physiotherapist, physicians, technology experts and experts in the field of behavioural change and sedentary behaviour. The RISE intervention is 15 weeks and combines face to face coaching sessions by a physiotherapist with eCoaching by using an activity monitor and a m-health application. The aim of this study is to determine the preliminary effectiveness and the feasibility of the RISE intervention to reduce and interrupt sedentary behaviour in the first 6 months after discharge from hospital in community people with a first ever stroke. The secondary aim is to investigate the added value and feasibility of integrating participatory support within the RISE intervention. In participatory support (PS) a member of the participant’s immediate social environment provides meaningful support. This member participates as a buddy in the intervention.

Who can participate?
Males and females aged over 18 who have suffered a first-ever stroke, who are independent in walking with or without a walking aid and have a sedentary and inactive movement pattern.

What does the study involve?
The study involves testing the preliminary effectiveness and feasibility of the RISE Intervention with and without PS. Participants will be randomized to either the RISE Intervention with PS or without PS after being included into the study. Participants will wear an activity monitor 4-14 days before, during and 4-14 days after the intervention to measure sedentary behaviour and physical activity. Also after the intervention participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire and to participate in an interview to determine the satisfaction with the intervention.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The possible benefit is that a reduction in sedentary behaviour might reduce the cardio metabolic risk factors like high blood pressure and glucose tolerance. This can prevent recurrent stroke, other cardiovascular diseases and mortality and decline in physical functions. The goal of the intervention is to replace sedentary behaviour by normal daily activities (light intensity physical activities), therefore the risk involved in participating is low.

InterventionParticipants will receive the RISE intervention, a blended movement behaviour change intervention that aims to support them to reduce and interrupt their sedentary time. The blended intervention is 15 weeks and combines face to face coaching sessions by a physiotherapist with eCoaching by using an activity monitor and a m-health application. Six of the 12 participants will be randomized to participate in the RISE intervention including participatory support (PS). In participatory support (PS) a member of the participant’s immediate social environment provides meaningful support. This member participates as a buddy in the intervention. The participants buddy will get insight in relevant self-management information (e.g. why reducing sedentary time and increasing physical activity is important in people with stroke), the individual goals of the participant and how to provide meaningful support. By performing the same movement behavioural change tasks in reducing and interrupting sedentary behaviour as the participant, the buddy will be able to facilitate changes, provide encouragement support, increase enjoyment and provide greater accountability for a more active lifestyle. Participants will be randomized by an independent researcher to either the experimental group or the usual care group by a computer-generated random sequence table generated using SPSS. For both groups the outcome measures will be conducted in the same manner.
Intervention typeBehavioural
Primary outcome measure1. Preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on sedentary behaviour; total amount of sedentary time and the sedentary time fragmentation, assessed using the ActivPAL activity monitor over the 15 week period
2. Feasibility of the intervention; compliance, satisfaction and safety, assessed using inclusion and adherence registration, semi-structured interviews and the System Usability Scale post-intervention
Secondary outcome measures1. Preliminary effectiveness of the intervention with PS on sedentary behaviour; total amount of sedentary time and the sedentary time fragmentation, assessed using the ActivPAL activity monitor over the 15 week period
2. Feasibility of the intervention with PS; compliance and safety, assessed using inclusion and adherence registration semi-structured interviews and the System Usability Scale post-intervention
3. Preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on non-sedentary movement behaviour; the amount of light and moderate to vigorous physical activity, the step count and the time spent standing and/or walking. Assessed using the ActivPAL activity monitor over the 15 week period
4. Other study parameters: participant characteristics, sleep duration and quality, happiness, tiredness, stress, pain, time pressure, the inclusion rate, time consumption of the intervention and the study and the activity monitor data and the usage of the different parts of the app during the intervention period
