High Intensity Functional Training for Individuals With Neurologic Diagnoses and Their Care Partners

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Neurologic Disorder, Parkinson Disease, Spinal Cord Injuries, Spina Bifida, Stroke, Poliomyelitis, Multiple Sclerosis, Brain Injuries

In brief

Individuals with and without neurologic diagnoses greatly benefit from participation in regular exercise but the majority are physically inactive. This is an issue for both them and their care partners as their health is often linked. This study aims to examine the long-term physical and psychosocial effects of structured, group-based, high intensity functional training (HIFT) exercise for people with neurologic diagnoses and their care partners.
