About this trial
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.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adult (as defined by Province)
Chronic stroke (more than 6 months post-stroke)
Ability to stand up from a chair
Mobility impairment of lower extremity (requires a walking aid, with or without close supervision)
Disqualifiers
Participating in formal exercise or rehabilitation activities
Participating in > 30 minutes/day of physical activity (moderate intensity)
Participating in another study that may affect outcomes to this study
Severe loss of vision, hearing, speech (including aphasia) or cognition that would preclude use of a computer/tablet and communication over videoconference software

Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Virtual Physical Activity Seated Exercises (V-PASE)
Other interventionThe seated exercise program includes a variety of upper and lower limb strengthening, core strengthening, agility (fast arm and leg movements), and flexibility exercises. Participants will be supervised during each session thru videoconferencing by a trained instructor.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
30 Second Sit-to-Stand
Assessment of balance and lower extremity strength.
Time frame
Immediately post-intervention (following 10-week trial)Secondary outcomes
1
Timed Up and Go
Participants stand up from a chair, walk 3 metres, turn around and then sit back down. The TUG assesses balance, mobility and turning ability
Time frame
Immediately post-intervention, and retention (2-months post-intervention)2
Tandem Stance
Measures balance in standing as reported in the Short Physical Performance Battery Protocol
Time frame
Immediately post-intervention, and retention (2-months post-intervention)3
Modified Telehealth Fugl-Meyer
The modified virtual Fugl-Meyer assess lower extremity impairments in those with stroke
Time frame
Immediately post-intervention, and retention (2-months post-intervention)4
Stroke Impact Scale
A self-reported measure of stroke-related disability. There are 8 domains with each item rated using a 5-point Likert scale, where lower scores mean greater difficulty to complete the item.
Time frame
Immediately post-intervention, and retention (2-months post-intervention)Other outcomes
1
Feasibility Indicator: Compliance
Percentage of participants that attend exercise sessions.
Time frame
Through study completion (approximately 10 weeks)2
Feasibility Indicator: Safety
Number of adverse events that occur during assessments or exercise sessions.
