We are seeking stroke survivors to take part in a research study that aims to investigate a new rehabilitation programme which combines physical activity, including walking, and brain training to help improve memory and concentration.

Participants will be asked to complete a number of questionnaires and tasks on four occasions, wear a physical activity monitor for selected weeks, complete a diary checklist, take part in a physical activity consultation to help assess walking goals, participate in walking sessions and play memory and concentration games.

To take part participants must have sustained a stroke at least 6 months prior to the study commencing, experience problems with memory and/or concentration, aged between 18 and 80 years, have the ability to walk independently with or without a walking aid and are community dwelling residents within Scotland.

This study will not be suitable for participants who have unstable heart disease, uncontrolled hypertension, visual or hearing impairments that are not corrected with visual and hearing devices, dementia, a history of a mental illness, have had recent falls, have recently been hospitalized or have inadequate English language ability that would prevent understanding of the study requirements. If you are unsure if you are eligible please contact me - details are below.
