Telex Trial Summary
This trial looks at whether a 12-week virtual seated physical intervention can improve cardiovascular health and wellness in people with chronic neurological impairments.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-75 with chronic neurological impairments like stroke, multiple sclerosis, or cerebral palsy. They must be stable medically and cognitively, able to use Zoom and a heart rate monitor independently (or have help), speak English, and not exercise more than twice a week. Medical clearance is required.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of a 12-week home-based seated exercise program delivered virtually on cardiovascular health in people with long-term (>6 months) neurological conditions. Participants will maintain their usual physical activity levels during the trial.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this intervention involves seated exercises tailored to individuals with chronic neurological impairments, side effects might include muscle soreness or fatigue. However, any serious risks are minimized by requiring medical clearance before participation.

Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Live zoom exercise classesExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants will engage in a live zoom exercise session. Participants will undergo 45 minutes of aerobic exercise intervention, three times a week, for a period of 12 weeks. Exercise will include repetitive bouts of high intensity exercises with intermittent periods of rest or active recovery. circuit of moves like 'jabs', 'hooks' etc, and a strength and endurance class that promotes postural awareness.
Group II: Recorded zoom exercise classesActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will undergo 45 minutes of aerobic exercise intervention, three times a week, for a period of 12 weeks, using a pre-recorded class that they can do according to their own schedule. Exercise will include repetitive bouts of high intensity exercises with intermittent periods of rest or active recovery. circuit of moves like 'jabs', 'hooks' etc, and a strength and endurance class that promotes postural awareness.
