English abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Community-dwelling stroke survivors have different functioning and disability. The aims of this thesis were: (1) to describe functioning and contextual factors of community-dwelling stroke survivors 1-2 years after their first stroke, based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) with focus on potential differences between age-groups, (2) to describe the development and investigate the feasibility of ActivABLES, which aims to increase home-based therapeutic exercise and daily physical activity among stroke survivors.<\/p>\n

The results revealed a complex and informative pattern of functioning and contextual factors in the lives of community-dwelling stroke survivors, where some differences and similarities in functioning and contextual factors were found between the age-groups. These findings highlight the importance of focusing on the heterogeneity among older stroke survivors and the fact that they need person-centred rehabilitation but not \u201cone fit for all\u201d. The development of ActivABLES resulted in six prototypes which were tested in the feasibility study which included four-week use. The quantitative and qualitative findings converged well with each other and supported the feasibility of ActivABLES. Future research should focus on further studies in larger samples to prepare full development and marketing of ActivABLES.<\/p>\n
