Interventions/Control_1

In the intervention group, participants receive usual rehabilitation-based care plus feedback on step counts measured using a wearable device. The physical therapist provides feedback on daily and weekly step-count goals according to each participant's condition. The wearable device is placed in a dedicated belt pouch and worn around the waist, except during bathing and changing clothes. The intervention period ranges from 2 to 4 weeks.

Interventions/Control_2

In the control group, participants wear the same wearable device as those in the intervention group, but neither the participants nor healthcare professionals can access the physical activity data during the measurement period. Participants continue usual rehabilitation. If requested, the physical therapist provides feedback on physical activity after the measurement period during usual rehabilitation. The observation period ranges from 2 to 4 weeks.
