Poststroke fatigue and daily activity patterns during outpatient rehabilitation: An experience sampling method study

 What FUCKING stupidity, we have known for decades about poststroke fatigue. Survivors want solutions, NOT ANOTHER STUDY.

Poststroke fatigue and daily activity patterns during outpatient rehabilitation: An experience sampling method study

Archives of Physical Medicine and RehabilitationLenaert B, et al. | February 19, 2020

A longitudinal observational study using the experience sampling method (ESM) was conducted to increase the understanding of poststroke fatigue by investigating its momentary and time-lagged relationship with daily activities. A total of 30 individuals with stroke were included. ESM is a structured diary method that provides evaluating real-time symptoms, behavior, and environmental characteristics in the flow of daily life, thereby capturing moment-to-moment variations in fatigue and related factors. In this study, individuals with stroke were followed for 6 consecutive days and were prompted at 10 random moments daily to fill in a digital questionnaire about their momentary fatigue and current activity using a mobile application: type of activity, perceived effort and enjoyment, and physical activity levels. This research demonstrates the requirement for ESM to design personalized rehabilitation programs and to capture fatigue and other patient-reported outcomes in daily life.
