Abstract

To test the safety, feasibility and effectiveness of reducing sitting time in stroke survivors. Randomised controlled trial with attention-matched control and blinded assessments. Community PARTICIPANTS: Thirty-five stroke survivors (22 male, mean age 66.9 ± 12.7 years). Four counselling sessions over seven weeks with a message of 'sit less, move more' (intervention group) or 'calcium for bone health' (attention-matched control group). Safety (adverse events, increases in pain, spasticity or fatigue) and feasibility (adherence to trial protocol). Secondary measures included time spent sitting (including in prolonged bouts ≥30mins), standing, and stepping as measured by the thigh-worn activPAL3 activity monitor (7 days, 24hrs/day protocol) and time spent in physical activity of at least moderate intensity as measured by the actigraph GT3x+. The Multi-Media Activity Recall for Children and Adults (MARCA) was used to describe changes in use-of-time. Thirty-three participants completed the full protocol. Four participants reported falls during the intervention period with no other adverse events. From a baseline average of 640.7 (SD 99.6) min/day, daily sitting time reduced on average by 30.0 (SD 50.6) min/day (95% CI 5.8 to 54.6) in the intervention group and 40.4 (SD 92.5) min/day in the control group (95% CI 13.0 to 93.8). Participants in both groups also reduced their time spent in prolonged sitting bouts (≥30 minutes) and increased time spent standing and stepping. Our protocol was both safe and feasible. Participants in both groups spent less time sitting and more time standing and stepping post-intervention, but outcomes were not superior for intervention participants. Attention-matching is desirable in clinical trials, and may have contributed to the positive outcomes for control participants.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 18. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 June 2016.
All research outputs
#2,012,887
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
#462
of 6,026 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,610
of 294,975 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Archives of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
#5
of 76 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 92nd percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,026 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 294,975 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 76 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 93% of its contemporaries.
