Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and validate a questionnaire, called the Barriers to Physical Activity After Stroke (BAPAS), to identify obstacles faced by stroke survivors in maintaining physical activity.
- In two stages, the research combined interviews with stroke survivors and input from experts to identify and categorize these barriers.
- The resulting BAPAS, validated through statistical methods, showed strong reliability and correlation with disability severity, indicating it can effectively assess barriers to physical activity in this population.
