YOGA-FIT: Protocol for a Crossover Trial Investigating the Feasibility and Impact of Yoga for People With Stroke
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke
In brief
The primary objective of this mixed-methods pilot crossover study is to determine the feasibility (participant satisfaction, recruitment rate, participant and assessor burden, adherence, equipment and technology issues, and safety) of virtual and in-person LYB yoga for adult people with lived experience of stroke in Nova Scotia who are at least three months post stroke. The secondary objective is to estimate the efficacy of virtual and in-person yoga for improving balance, walking, mobility, mental health (anxiety and depression), and other health outcomes (pain, sleep, health perception, and falls). The tertiary objective is to estimate the extent to which cognitive function, fatigue, and health-related quality of life co-evolve with our secondary outcomes. Participants will engage in LYB Yoga virtual and in-person classes for 90 minutes each, twice per week, as well as one 60-minute recorded class completed on their own time.
