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

And you somehow think this was important enough to study with ESM when all this earlier research is already out there.  We absolutely need survivors in charge to stop all this wasted effort.  Which percentage of fatigue did you come up with?

At least half of all stroke survivors experience fatigue Or is it 70%?

Or is it 40%?

Abstract: 

Study investigated the momentary and time-lagged relationship between daily activities and poststroke fatigue using the experience sampling method (ESM). ESM is a structured diary method that allows assessing real-time symptoms, behavior, and environment characteristics in the flow of daily life, thereby capturing moment-to-moment variations in fatigue and related factors. Using a mobile application, 30 individuals with stroke were followed during 6 consecutive days and were prompted at 10 random moments daily to fill in a digital questionnaire about their momentary fatigue and current activity. ESM was used to measure different activity characteristics: type of activity, physical activity, and perceived effort and enjoyment of activities. Based on all completed digital questionnaires, multilevel regression analyses showed that fatigue was significantly associated with type of activity and that fatigue was higher when participants had engaged in physical activity. Fatigue was also higher during activities perceived as more effortful and during less enjoyable activities. Time-lagged analyses showed that fatigue was also predicted by physical activity and perceived effort earlier during the day. Importantly, the relationship between these daily activity characteristics and fatigue differed substantially across individuals. This study illustrates the need for ESM to design personalized rehabilitation programs and to capture fatigue and other patient-reported outcomes in daily life.
