ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To clarify how participation in leisure activities and exercise by chronic stroke survivors differs before and after a stroke.

METHODS:

Sixty chronic stroke survivors receiving community-based rehabilitation services from a health center in Seongnam City were recruited. They completed a questionnaire survey regarding their demographic characteristics and accompanying diseases, and on the status of their leisure activities and exercise. In addition, their level of function (Korean version of Modified Barthel Index score), risk of depression (Beck Depression Inventory), and quality of life (SF-8) were measured.

RESULTS:

After their stroke, most of the respondents had not returned to their pre-stroke levels of leisure activity participation. The reported number of leisure activities declined from a mean of 3.9 activities before stroke to 1.9 activities post-stroke. In addition, many participants became home-bound, sedentary, and non-social after their stroke. The most common barriers to participation in leisure activities were weakness and poor balance, lack of transportation, and cost. The respondents reported a mean daily time spent on exercise of 2.6+/-1.3 hours. Pain was the most common barrier to exercise participation.

CONCLUSION:

Chronic stroke survivors need information on leisure activities and appropriate pain management.
