Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effect of engaging in adaptive sports for individuals who have had a stroke. The study is cross-sectional, participants with stroke will be recruited and divided into two groups: the first group composed of individuals with stroke who regularly participate in adaptive sports; and the second of individuals with stroke who do not regularly participate in adaptive sports. The two groups will have to be similar in terms of demographic variables (age, gender, time since beginning of stroke). A series of parameters will be tested, on one occasion for each participant. The two groups will then be compared to one another.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Functional walking

  Measured through a 6 minute-walk test where participants walk back and forth from one cone to another (placed 30 meters away), during 6 minutes. The distance walked in the 6 minutes is calculated.

Secondary Outcomes (14)

• Physical endurance

• Motor impairment

  baseline

• Upper and lower limb strength

Study Arms (2)

Adaptive sports group

Individuals with stroke who regularly, and on a long-term basis, participate in adaptive sports

Other: Adaptive sports

Non adaptive sports group

Individuals with stroke who do not engage in adaptive sports

Adaptive sports group

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years - 80 Years
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Probability Sample

Study Population

The study population are individuals with a stroke diagnosis since a minimum of 6 months prior to the study. These individuals have to present persistent physical disability due to their stroke. The investigators will recruit individuals with stroke who participate in organised adaptive sports programs on a regular basis, as well as individuals who do not participate in any oranised adaptive sports programs.

You may qualify if:

• diagnosis of stroke since at least 6 months prior to recruitment in the study
• persistent physical disability due to the stroke
• adequate understanding of french

You may not qualify if:

• significant cognitive impairments
• contra-indication of any type to performing physical activity and physical exercise
