Measure
Physical Activity Behavior Intervention
A 12-week behavior change intervention that supplements conventional rehabilitation including: 10 telerehabilitation sessions, daily activity sensor use, education, self-monitoring, tailored feedback, barrier/facilitator identification, promotion of problem solving, action planning, and encouragement. Physical Activity Behavior Intervention: Home-based weekly sessions (30 min) using behavior change methods for promoting physical activity. Sessions will occur using home-based computer tablets for real-time video interface between the participant and researcher. Participants will wear wrist-mounted activity sensors with direct physical activity feedback during the intervention period to allow for behavioral feedback and action planning.
Attention Control
Conventional rehabilitation with 10 telerehabilitation sessions that match the frequency and duration of the experimental arm. Attention control intervention provided as 10 telerehabilitation sessions of non-physical activity related education-only sessions. Attention Control: Conventional rehabilitation with supplemental 10 telerehabilitation sessions that match the frequency and duration of the experimental arm. Attention control intervention provided as 10 telerehabilitation sessions of non-physical activity related education-only sessions.

Measure
Physical Activity Behavior Intervention
n=46 participants at risk
A 12-week behavior change intervention that supplements conventional rehabilitation including: 10 telerehabilitation sessions, daily activity sensor use, education, self-monitoring, tailored feedback, barrier/facilitator identification, promotion of problem solving, action planning, and encouragement. Physical Activity Behavior Intervention: Home-based weekly sessions (30 min) using behavior change methods for promoting physical activity. Sessions will occur using home-based computer tablets for real-time video interface between the participant and researcher. Participants will wear wrist-mounted activity sensors with direct physical activity feedback during the intervention period to allow for behavioral feedback and action planning.
Attention Control
n=46 participants at risk
Conventional rehabilitation with 10 telerehabilitation sessions that match the frequency and duration of the experimental arm. Attention control intervention provided as 10 telerehabilitation sessions of non-physical activity related education-only sessions. Attention Control: Conventional rehabilitation with supplemental 10 telerehabilitation sessions that match the frequency and duration of the experimental arm. Attention control intervention provided as 10 telerehabilitation sessions of non-physical activity related education-only sessions.
