简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether persons with stroke participating in a 12-week community based wellness program for persons who have had a stroke, experience improved mobility (6 Minute Walk Test), balance, (The Short Portable Performance Test and Timed Up and Go), strength (JAMAR hand grip dynamometry), level of physical activity (Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity), reintegration in community (Reintegration into Normal Living Index), self efficacy (Patient Activation Measure) and Quality of Life (Stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale) compared to persons who do not participate in the program.
详细描述
The program will be delivered through a partnership between Hamilton Health Sciences, the YMCA and McMaster University. Participants will attend the YMCA for exercise sessions several times a week and receive education on how to take care of themselves after a stroke. The staff who will deliver the program will have specialized training on how to help people with stroke to exercise safely and effectively. Control group participants will be provided with YMCA memberships but will not have access to stroke specific education and group exercise classes.
Staff assisting the control group will be trained in safety and contraindications after stroke, but will not receive the additional specialized training in exercise/education programs for persons with stroke.

研究组 & 干预措施
Stroke Community Wellness Program
Participants with stroke will attend a 12 week Community Wellness Program. The program consists of a Community Based Exercise Program at the YMCA (2x 1 hour exercise sessions per week with specially trained fitness instructors). They will also attend a 1 hour long "Living with Stroke" education session one time per week and an independent exercise session in the fitness centre one time per week.

YMCA staff working with the control group will not receive specialized training in exercise and education for stroke survivors but will be trained on important safety precautions and contraindications to exercise after stroke.

结局指标
主要结局
Rapid Assessment of Physical Activity (RAPA)
时间窗: baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks
The RAPA measures an individuals Level of Physical Activity. The RAPA is a 9 item measure that assesses frequency and intensity of aerobic physical activity and frequency of strengthening and flexibility exercises. The unit of measurement is numbers on a scale. Higher scores indicate greater levels of physical activity.
Hand Grip Strength
时间窗: baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks
Hand grip strength (average of 3 trials with either hand) will be measured using a JAMAR hand-held dynamometer. Handgrip has been shown to correlate with elbow flexion strength, knee flexion strength and trunk extension strength. The unit of measurement is kilograms. Higher numbers indicate greater grip strength.
Six minute Walk Test (6MWT)
时间窗: baseline, 12 weeks and 24 weeks
The 6MWT is a test of exercise capacity that is measured as the distance walked in 6 minutes. Participants are instructed to cover as much ground as possible in 6 minutes. A greater distance walked indicates a better performance. The unit of measurement is metres.
次要结局
- Patient Activation Measure (PAM)(baseline, 12 weeks, 24 weeks)
