Scalable, theory-based behavior change interventions can increase physical activity and reduce comorbidities and consequences among individuals with chronic, disabling conditions. Physical inactivity and comorbidities (e.g., hypertension) result in poor prognoses among persons with chronic, disabling conditions including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson disease, and stroke. Theory can guide the design of behavior change interventions that can be delivered remotely for broad scale implementation. We hypothesize that theory-based behavior change interventions can increase physical activity and reduce comorbidities and associated consequences among persons with chronic, disabling conditions.
