| Study Title: | Preferences for physical activity programming in persons with neurological conditions |
| Rationale: | To gather the physical activity preferences for those with neurological conditions. |
| Study Description: | Persons with neurological conditions often experience mobility impairments, which may impact physical activity (PA) participation (i.e., often programs or facilities may not fit the needs of these individuals). Limited PA participation can not only result in an increased risk of secondary complications, such as heart disease, but contributed to lower self reports of general wellbeing. Embedding the preferences of those participating in the program may also increase their enjoyment of the program, and therefore increase their desire to participate. The main objective of this work is to determine the priorities for PA programming from the perspective of persons with neurological conditions through an anonymous survey. The survey will be available until February 29, 2024. It takes approximately 30 – 45 minutes to complete. The overall goal of this work is to use this information to develop a client driven physical activity program. |
| Starting Date: | 2022-05-01 |
| Ending Date: | 2024-10-31 |
| Who can participate: | The survey is open to adults (18+) across Canada. Participants must be able to read and write in English and have been diagnosed with a neurological condition affecting physical mobility (e.g., stroke, spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, etc). |
