About this study
The goal of this study is to explore the feasibility of a new approach to rehabilitation that focuses on step count.

They will also complete questionnaires, assessments, surveys, and physical activity measurements during study weeks 0 (baseline), 3 (mid-point), 7 (post-intervention) and 12 (follow-up).
