Objective: Gait ability may be related to the level of intensity-based physical activity in people who have experienced a stroke; however, this relationship has not been explored in previous studies. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of intensity-based physical activity according to gait ability and to explore the factors related to different intensity physical activity. Method: Eighty hospitalized participants with subacute stroke were assigned to three groups based on their gait ability: group 1 (n = 28) could walk independently with a maximal gait speed (MGS) of more than 0.9 m/s; group 2 (n = 11) could walk independently with a MGS of less than 0.9 m/s; group 3 (n = 41) could not walk independently. Light-intensity physical activity (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) were measured for 12 hours using an accelerometer (OMRON, HJA350-IT) for 7 consecutive days and were calculated throughout three time periods (daytime, non-therapy time, or therapy time). Results: In each time period, a two-way ANOVA showed an interaction between the groups and intensity-based physical activity (p < 0.05). Bonferroni post hoc test showed a significantly higher LIPA in groups 1 and 2 compared with group 3 in daytime or non-therapy time. In contrast, group 1 showed a significantly higher MVPA compared with group 2 and 3 for each time period. Conclusion: During daytime and non-therapy time, the results suggested that gait independence is related to LIPA rather than gait speed, and gait speed and gait independence is related to MVPA.

In older adults, social participation is an important component of rehabilitation and health promotion. Several studies have attempted to describe the definition and concepts of social participation, and there were many outcomes to measure social participation. This overview provides information about representative social participation and related concepts that have been defined in the literature. A standardized definition of social participation has not been developed; commonly, recognition for social participation was proposed as focused on involvement in social activities that provide interaction with others in a society or community. Many instruments assess the various aspects of social participation. Because of operational definition and diversity in social participation, performance in social participation was adopted as an aspect of assessment. Further discussions are needed to clarify the definition of social participation and evaluate the instruments used to assess social participation for it to be useful for rehabilitation and health promotion. In doing so, determining and developing assessment and intervention based on the purpose or perspective of social participation in older adults with and without disabilities is important.
