University of Limerick stroke study seeks volunteers
The Adaptive Physical Activity study in Stroke (TAPAS) is a trial being run by Associate Professor Sara Hayes in the School of Allied Health at the University of Limerick (UL).
Stroke researchers and clinicians at UL and University Hospital Limerick, in collaboration with the Health Research Board, have developed a new smartphone application that aims to increase physical activity levels in people with stroke.
People aged over 18 with stroke who are willing to travel to the University of Limerick for one meeting with our researchers, are independently mobile with or without a walking aid, and have access to a smart device (smartphone or laptop or tablet or computer) are invited to take part.
The study involves a 12-week physical activity programme where participants are given their own Fitbit and are encouraged to increase their daily step counts.
The team is currently enrolling people into this study from October 2023.
