Resources on this website are designed to be accessible for people with a variety of post stroke deficits and at different stages of stroke recovery.
Information on this website is "Real, Reliable and Relevant" (Meredith Burke)
This project addresses the largest gap in effective secondary prevention of stroke in Australia - lack of access to evidenced-based programs for physical activity and healthy eating.
It directly addresses the priority areas of secondary stroke prevention through education and public awareness.
Lifestyle factors including low physical activity levels and poor-quality diet are risk factors for recurrent stroke. Australian Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management recommend that people with stroke receive advice and support to increase physical activity and eat a healthy diet.
We anticipate this website will help improve the physical activity levels and diet quality of Australian stroke survivors, with benefits for long-term health and well-being.
