Treatments
Experimental: TRAIL
TRAIL is a 4-week progressive exercise and self-management intervention for lower extremity recovery delivered by a trained registered physical therapist, in a 2:1 participant-to-therapist ratio. Each participant grouping will receive two telerehabilitation sessions (60-90 minutes) each week for 4 weeks (total 8-12 hours).
Active_comparator: EDUCATION
The EDUCATION control arm is a 4-week education program focusing on stroke knowledge and risk factors. It will be delivered by health professionals who have experience working with individuals with stroke, knowledge of chronic disease self-management (e.g. physical or occupational therapists, nurses, kinesiologists), and who have completed study-specific training on the EDUCATION program~Participants will receive video conferencing sessions with the same schedule and 2:1 participant-to-coach ratio as TRAIL. Each participant grouping will receive two educational telerehabilitation sessions (60-90 minutes) each week for 4 weeks (total 8-12 hours).
