TIME™ at Home Randomized Controlled Trial

Sponsor: University of Toronto

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to compare the short-term effects of a virtual, community-based, task-oriented group exercise program (TIME™ at Home) with a waitlist control in community-dwelling adults with balance and mobility limitations. The main questions the trial aims to answer are: 1. Will there be improvements in physical and mental health outcomes, and caregiver mood and assistance, following participation in the TIME™ at Home exercise program that are greater than in the waitlist control group? 2. Will level of mobility limitation, sex, or gender influence the experiences of people in the exercise program? 3. What will be the costs of the TIME™ at Home exercise program for the organization delivering the program, and the people who are in the exercise program? Participants and their caregivers will be asked to complete 3 evaluations using Zoom at study entry and 2 and 5 months later. * Participants will complete tests of balance and walking and questionnaires. * Caregivers will only complete questionnaires. After the first evaluation, participants will be randomly assigned to either participate in: * the 8-week TIME™ at Home exercise program from their homes using Zoom, or * to wait 5 months (waitlist control group) before beginning the 8-week TIME™ at Home exercise program

BEHAVIORAL

TIME at Home

Sessions involve a 15-minute pre-video safety check and social time; streaming a 1-hour pre-recorded exercise video; and a 15-minute post-video social time. Two trained facilitators run each class, with a maximum group size of 10 people. The 1-hour exercise videos include a seated warm-up and cooldown, and 40 minutes of functional, self-paced exercises. In the video, 2 healthcare professionals demonstrate a lower and higher difficulty level of each exercise. The program starts with a level 1 video and switches to a level 2 video midway. A registered healthcare professional, called the healthcare partner, visits select classes and serves as a resource to participants and facilitators.
