People with PAD and IC have impaired quality of life, reduced walking ability, and increased mortality compared to those who do not have the condition.\n\nImproving physical activity (PA) is important in individuals with IC it can improve function, morbidity and mortality rates. While supervised exercise classes are recommended by healthcare authorities they are geographically sparse, and not always accessible due to individuals walking limitations. While home-based exercise can be accessible and improve walking ability, it can be challenging for people with IC to initially plan, conduct, and stay motivated to complete a walking program unsupported, especially when they experience limb pain when walking.\n\nInvestigators have shown that Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), a non-invasive pain management device, with aims to improve pain and walking distances in patients with IC may be an acceptable modality alongside advice and support from a physiotherapist to overcome these challenges.

Rehabilitation helps to reduce disability and supports people to return to a meaningful life. We know that the more rehabilitation you do especially, within the first six months after stroke, the better the outcome. However, rehabilitation services, especially in the community, are often lacking, non-specialist or provide only a limited number of therapy sessions. Recently national guidelines for care of people after stroke recommend that people receive up to three hours\u002Fday of therapy on at least five days\u002Fweek. NHS services cannot provide this level of therapy so new ways to support people to increase the amount of therapy they do on their own is needed.\n\nThe aim of the research is to test a 16 week community, home-based physiotherapy programme to improve the amount of therapy exercise a stroke survivor does, therefore improving the outcome and reducing the level of disability.\n\nParticipants will be recruited as they transition from inpatient services to community physiotherapy. Participants will be randomised to either the control or intervention arm. Participants in the intervention arm will take part in a 16-week community, home-based physiotherapy programme. Within the 16-week intervention, participants will receive 5 home based and 4 remote appointments which will comprise of usual physiotherapy assessment and exercise prescription that incorporates 1) Personalised online exercise programme delivered through the Giraffe platform; 2) Goal setting and Action Planning (G-AP); and 3) Supported self-management approaches. Participants will receive an intervention workbook to support them with strategies to achieve their goals and build their self-management skills e.g. how to integrate therapy into their daily life, dealing with barriers, identifying social support networks.\n\nParticipants randomised to the control group will receive usual multi-disciplinary rehabilitation from their care team (e.g., physiotherapist, Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists) as per their NHS Health boards care plan.\n\nThe study will measure both feasibility outcomes associated with the implementing the study alongside clinical and wellbeing measures.\n\nTo test the feasibility of the study we will assess how many people agree to take part, complete the exercise sessions and complete the outcome measurements. We will also interview people affected by stroke, their significant others if appropriate, and therapists to get their views on the programme.
