The intervention was underpinned by the theoretical concept of patient activation and was developed based on a review of published research on stroke self-management interventions and qualitative interviews and focus groups (phase 1).
- A low stroke volume is assessed based on a review of maximum heart rate achieved, HR/VO2, drop in bicarbonate level and whether there is an AT.
