Abstract
This resource was developed through a research study where stroke survivors and their support people partnered with a research team led by Dr Ally Calder. Families living with the experience of stroke (i.e., stroke survivors and support people) provided detailed feedback on the first prototype of the resource which was co-created in a previous research study. The research team collated the feedback and Joshua Meredith, an expert in creative communications, designed and produced the resource.
The resource is intended to educate, build confidence, empower, and encourage physical activity participation for stroke survivors. It also provides guidance for support people championing their stroke survivors to move more. By bringing together the insights of families living with stroke and the knowledge of researchers and a communications expert, the guide provides trustworthy information that is grounded in both experience and evidence.
