Article Synopsis
- Community-based exercise programs that collaborate with healthcare organizations can help post-stroke individuals maintain a habit of exercise, but understanding how these programs are implemented from different viewpoints is crucial for their success.
- The study focused on the experiences of various stakeholders involved in a 12-week exercise program, examining costs and highlighting themes that affected their decisions to implement and participate in the program.
- Key findings showed that program quality and perceptions of benefits significantly influenced managers' decisions to collaborate, while prior experiences helped staff overcome initial challenges in delivering the program effectively.
Background: Despite the potential for community-based exercise programs supported through healthcare-community partnerships (CBEP-HCPs) to improve function post-stroke, insufficient trial evidence limits widespread program implementation and funding. We evaluated the feasibility and acceptability of a CBEP-HCP compared to a waitlist control group to improve everyday function among people post-stroke.
Methods: We conducted a 3-site, pilot randomized trial with blinded follow-up evaluations at 3, 6, and 10 months.
Healthcare organizations are partnering with recreation organizations to support the delivery of community-based exercise programs for people with balance and mobility limitations. The value and impact of support strategies provided by healthcare organizations, however, have not been examined. Study objectives were to explore fitness coordinators' and fitness instructors' experiences with implementing a task-oriented community-based exercise program for people with balance and mobility limitations within the context of a healthcare-recreation partnership.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the provision of education about CBEPs to people with stroke, barriers to providing education, and preferences for resources to facilitate education among physical therapists in neurological practice.
Design: A cross-sectional e-survey of physical therapists treating adults with stroke in Ontario, Canada, was conducted.
