Usability Of An Mhealth-Delivered Physical Activity Intervention After Mild Stroke Or Transient Ischemic Attack: The Role Of Therapist Engagement And User Barriers

Mobile Health (mHealth) is a promising tool for supporting long-term physical activity following stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA), but its usability in this population remains unclear. This study aimed to: (1) compare the perceived usability of mHealth-delivered physical activity support among individuals post-stroke or TIA who received weekly physiotherapist support versus those who received infrequent support (5 sessions in total); and (2) identify factors associated with positive perceptions of mHealth usability.

The study found that mobile health (mHealth) support for physical activity after a mild stroke or TIA was generally seen as acceptable and accessible, especially when participants had regular engagement with a physiotherapist through the app, showing higher usability and willingness to continue using the tool.
