Summary

This study will determine the acceptability of delivering seated exercises online and if seated exercises can improve balance, mobility, quality of life, and cardiometabolic health in those living with a stroke related mobility impairment. Participants will be allocated to either a 10-week seated exercise program or a delayed 2-week Boot Camp program. All seated exercises sessions and assessments will be conducted virtually.

Detailed description

The study will be a virtual 10-week multi-site, assessor-blinded, randomized controlled trial with an embedded qualitative component. The study will be conducted in real time using secure videoconferencing software (Zoom). Participants will be randomized 1:1 to a 10-week Seated Exercise group or a delayed 2-week Seated Exercise Group (Boot Camp). Seated exercise sessions will be delivered and supervised by a trained instructor. Participants will use their own computer, laptop, or tablet for the zoom sessions. No Zoom sessions will be recorded. Caregivers will be invited to attend each exercise session to provide support and assistance but are not obliged to attend. A caregiver, friend, or family member will be required for each assessment to participate in the study.
