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.<h4>Methods and analysis</h4>A randomised controlled trial incorporating a type 1 effectiveness-implementation hybrid design is being conduBMJ opene102694https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC12306342biostudies-literatureShort-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.PMC12306342Hanson HMCatizzone MJones CAFung JJaglal SBLegasto-Mulvale JMBarclay RHovanec NSheehy LMoineddin RSalbach NMO'Neil JTeasell RWCameron JIMunce SAravind GSu TTSveistrup HBayley MTBarbosa Dos Santos RInness ELfalseShort-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.<h4>Introduction</h4>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.
