Promoting Optimal Physical Exercise for Life: An Exercise and Self-Management Program to Encourage Participation in Physical Activity after Discharge from Stroke Rehabilitation—A Feasibility Study

Table 3

Effect sizes for main outcomes. Values presented are means with standard deviations and ranges in parentheses. Effect sizes (Hedge’s ) were calculated based on the difference between the PROPEL and COMP groups, divided by the pooled standard deviation.

	PROPEL group	COMP group	Difference	Hedge’s
PASIPD (score)	8.4 (3.1; 3.3–12.5)	5.9 (3.0; 1.4–10.9)	2.5	0.75
Steps without LFE (number/day)	2705 (1681; 215–5354)	2519 (2133; 251–7232)	185	0.09
Steps with LFE (number/day)	7499 (3303; 2364–12905)	7048 (2579; 3409–11517)	451	0.14
Heart rate within target (mins/day)	14.1 (20.3; 0–56.0)	4.0 (4.7; 0–13.2)	10.1	0.63
SSEE (score)	3.5 (1.1; 1.5–5.0)	3.5 (0.9; 1.5–5.0)	0.0	0.00
SOEE (score)	4.4 (0.4; 3.8–5.0)	3.9 (1.2; 1.0–5.0)	0.5	0.50
Significant barrier (number)	0.1 (0.3; 0–1)	1.7 (1.9; 0–6)	−1.6	−1.18

LFE: low frequency extension; PASIPD: Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities; SSEE: Short Self-Efficacy for Exercise, SOEE: short outcome expectations for exercise.
Steps with LFE based on for the COMP group due to difficulty processing one participant’s data with the LFE.
Heart rates within target times are based on for the PROPEL group and for the COMP group due to a large amount of missing data for this variable (see also Table 2).
