Piloting an Online Integrated Behaviour Change and Physical Activity Program

Piloting an Online Integrated Behaviour Change and Physical Activity Program for Those With Neurological Conditions

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Participants must have some upper limb function permitting arm movement against gravity
• Physician clearance to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:
