Research
Research Title: Enhancing Motivation and Adherence to Exercise Rehabilitation in Stroke Survivors.
A lack of adherence to exercise programmes in rehabilitation risks people’s recovery from stroke as well as the resources available within rehabilitation services. Nicole’s research aims to provide clinicians and patients with theoretically grounded motivational strategies to support patients’ recovery. This project will guide future research on the applicability of theoretical motivational principles in the context of stroke rehabilitation and aid theoretical development.
