Short-term effects of a virtual, community-based, task-oriented group exercise programme incorporating a healthcare-community partnership compared to a waitlist control on increasing everyday function among adults with mobility limitations: protocol for the TIME™ at Home randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

While group, task-oriented, community-based exercise programs (CBEPs) delivered in-person can increase exercise and social participation in people with mobility limitations, challenges with transportation, cost and human resources, threaten sustainability. A virtual delivery model may help overcome challenges with accessing and delivering in-person CBEPs. The study objective is to estimate the short-term effect of an 8-week, virtual, group, task-oriented CBEP called TIME™ (Together in Movement and Exercise) at Home compared with a waitlist control on improving everyday function in community-dwelling adults with mobility limitations.

Methods and analysis

A randomised controlled trial incorporating a type 1 effectiveness-implementation hybrid design is being condu
