Effects of I-STROKEFIT+ on Physical Fitness Among Community-Dwelling Stroke Survivors: A Pilot RCT
Sponsor: Universiti Teknologi Mara
Summary
This pilot randomized controlled study will evaluate whether a 12-week integrated home-based physical fitness and self-management programme (i-StrokeFit+) can improve physical fitness and physical activity among community-dwelling stroke survivors. The programme combines aerobic exercise, strengthening exercises, stretching, and self-management strategies. The study hypothesizes that participants receiving i-StrokeFit+ will demonstrate greater improvements in physical fitness and physical activity compared with participants receiving stroke education and simple stretching exercises.

Physical fitness and Self-Management
A structured home-based exercise and self-management programme designed to improve physical fitness among community-dwelling stroke survivors. The programme included aerobic exercise, resistance exercise, mixed training, and self-management education, following a 2-week supervised adaptation phase before home-based training.
Patient Education
An educational programme providing information about stroke, including its symptoms, risk factors, pathophysiology, and management, together with simple stretching exercises. The stretching exercises were unstructured and unsupervised.
