Brief Summary

There is a significant disparity in access to physical activity programs for people with mobility impairments, which greatly impacts mobility, function and long-term wellbeing. This study will test an online, group-based intervention consisting of exercise and behaviour activation strategies targeting these and other outcomes. Importantly, this programming will be applied to patient groups across several clinical programs at Parkwood Institute.

Study Groups

Persons with Neurological Conditions

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Integrated Physical Activity and Behavioural Change Intervention

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

Physical Activity (PA) Component: A group-based PA program geared to the level of injury and mobility delivered through web conferencing software. Participants select at three sessions weekly over 10 weeks. Sessions include 45 mins of exercise (i.e boxercise; aerobics; yoga) and 15 mins of social interaction with the group.

Behavioural Change Component: Participants will also receive synchronous 1:1 sessions (approximately 20 mins/week) with a trained clinician on behavioural strategies to initiate and maintain engagement in PA over the 10-week period. Content of the sessions includes: providing information on PA and the self-management of impairments and related symptoms; evaluating barriers to engagement (e.g. fear of injury); and behavioural strategies.
