Researchers are developing a programme, called We Walk, to help people who have had a stroke to walk more outside. We are looking for volunteers to test the programme, which involves working with a walking buddy (usually a family member or friend). Volunteers will be in the study for 12 weeks. You and your buddy will be asked to plan how to walk more and also keep a diary of your walking. A researcher will meet with you at home four times and will keep in touch by telephone. Please contact Linda Irvine for more information.
