Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
The primary purpose is to determine the impact of a low intensity seated exercise program (24 sessions 2x/wk for 12 weeks) with cognitive training on dual task cognitive/motor function in individuals post stroke compared to age matched older adults
Secondary outcome measures
The secondary objectives are to determine the effects of the exercise program on walking activity (steps per day) for all enrolled subjects, while at home & in the community; as a result of the 24 training sessions

CAPS Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Subjects Post StrokeExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Individuals post stroke have recently participated in this ongoing investigation in a live format but these subjects are now entered into a telehealth arm.
Group II: Health Older AdultsActive Control1 Intervention
This subset of subject's have a fair history with this methodology and are being used as the comparator.
