CAPS Trial Summary
This trial will measure walking, balance, and thinking abilities of participants by having them complete tasks while standing, walking, and carrying objects. They will also answer health questions.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and can walk unassisted. It's also open to healthy, retired or semi-retired older adults able to exercise safely in a seated group setting as confirmed by their doctor. Participants must be able to follow instructions and communicate with researchers.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests 'Ageless Grace', a program designed to improve cognitive function and motor skills after neurotrauma like stroke. Participants will perform various physical tasks while simultaneously engaging in cognitive challenges, such as counting or naming objects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves physical activity, potential side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or minor injuries related to exercise. However, participants are screened for safety to minimize risks.

Study Objectives
Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary outcome measures
Differences in cognitive and motor function in individuals post stroke compared to age matched older adults measured by time differential between various walking distances and these tasks with a cognitive activity challenge included.
Differences in cognitive and motor function in individuals post stroke compared to age matched older adults will be measured by time differential between isolated motor tasks (number of sit to stands) and task with cognitive activity challenge.
Differences in cognitive and motor function measured by time differential between isolated motor tasks (number of seated alternative limb marches) and tasks that include a cognitive activity challenge as well.
Secondary outcome measures
Walking monitors measurement

Active Control
Group I: Subject's 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. In the future others will participate in the live format
Group II: Healthy Older AdultsActive Control1 Intervention
This subset of subject's have a fair history with this methodology and are being used as the comparator. Age matched older adults
