■电动自行车有可能克服中风幸存者在体育锻炼方面面临的一些障碍。这项研究旨在探讨影响中风幸存者使用电动自行车的因素。
■混合方法多案例研究设计,使用半结构化访谈和GPS数据。根据GP批准,参与者租借了一辆电动自行车或电动三轮车长达三个月。在干预前后进行了访谈。COM-B行为变化模型充当分析框架。每两周收集一次与旅程持续时间和行进距离有关的GPS数据。
■招募了六名参与者;只有三人借出了电动自行车/电动三轮车(根据需要进行调整)。存储,无法获得GP批准,和安全是退出的原因。损伤程度是影响电动自行车使用类型的一个因素,所需的支持水平和参与者的动机。
■尽管存在障碍,但中风幸存者可以使用电动自行车。电气辅助是使一些参与者能够在户外骑自行车的积极因素。由于样本量小,能够借出电动自行车的参与者数量众多,需要进一步的研究来确定电动自行车是否是增加中风幸存者体力活动的可行和有效的干预措施。对康复的影响电动自行车/电动三轮车提供的帮助可以为中风幸存者提供在户外骑自行车的机会。电动自行车/电动三轮车可以促进日常生活活动的参与,如购物,爱好和增加体力活动水平。康复可以关注身体损伤,它对自信的影响,以及围绕电动自行车的知识,以克服骑自行车的障碍。社会支持,认为电动自行车是一种愉快的体育活动模式,对他们的健康有益,参与者报告说这是使用电动自行车/电动三轮车的重要因素。
UNASSIGNED: E-bikes have the potential to overcome some of the barriers that stroke survivors face with regards to physical activity. This study aims to explore the factors that affect e-bike usage by stroke survivors.
UNASSIGNED: A mixed methods multiple
case studies design, using semi-structured interviews and GPS data. Subject to GP approval, participants loaned an e-bike or e-trike for up to three months. Interviews were undertaken pre and post intervention. The COM-B behaviour change model acted as a framework for analysis. GPS data relating to journey duration and distance travelled was collected fortnightly.
UNASSIGNED: Six participants were recruited; only three loaned an e-bike/e-trike (with adaptations as required). Storage, being unable to get GP approval, and safety were withdrawal reasons. Level of impairment was a factor influencing the type of e-bike used, level of support required and the motivation of the participants.
UNASSIGNED: Stroke survivors can use e-bikes although barriers exist. Electrical assistance was a positive factor in enabling some of the participants to cycle outdoors. Due to the small sample size and the number of participants who were able to loan an e-bike, further research is required to determine whether e-bikes are a feasible and effective intervention to increase physical activity for stroke survivors.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe assistance provided by the e-bike/e-trike could provide stroke survivors the opportunity to cycle outdoors.E-bikes/e-trikes could facilitate participation of activities of everyday living such as shopping, hobbies and increase levels of physical activity.Rehabilitation could focus on physical impairment, its effects on self-confidence, and knowledge surrounding the e-bike to overcome barriers to cycling.Social support, the belief that e-bike was an enjoyable mode of physical activity that was good for their health were reported by the participants as important factors for using the e-bike/e-trike.
