Walking has the potential to improve endurance and community participation after stroke. Obtaining ≥6000 daily steps can decrease subsequent stroke risk. Early identification of those prone to low daily steps could facilitate interventions that lead to increased walking and improved health. The purpose of this study was to 1) determine which factors at two months post-stroke can predict daily step counts at one year, and 2) determine what step count at two months corresponds to obtaining ≥6000 daily steps at one year post-stroke. This was a secondary analysis of data from the Locomotor Experience Applied Post Stroke trial, which enrolled participants with walking speeds <0.80 m/s at two months post-stroke. Daily steps were assessed at two months and one year post-stroke. Linear regression was used to predict daily step counts at one year based on factors including age, gender, race and/or ethnicity, stroke severity, walking speed, endurance, fitness, motor function, balance and balance confidence. A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve determined which step count corresponded to reaching ≥6000 steps at one year. Data from 206 participants, mean age=63 (13) years, 43% female, mean baseline daily step count=2922 (2749) steps, were analyzed. The final model to predict daily steps at one year post-stroke contained daily steps at two months and balance (Berg Balance Scale score); these factors explained 38% of the variability in daily steps at one year (p=<0.001). Participants obtaining ≥1632 daily steps at two months were 1.86 (95% CI 1.52 to 2.27) times more likely to reach ≥6000 daily steps at one year post-stroke. Daily steps and balance at two months post-stroke were the strongest predictors of future daily steps. Improving daily physical activity and targeting balance early after stroke may be necessary to increase physical activity at one year post-stroke.
