High Intensity Exercise and Improving Physical Activity Among People With Neurologic Dysfunction
Can a High Intensity Exercise Program for People With Neurologic Disabilities Run by Doctoral of Physical Therapy Students Improve Mobility in Everyday Life
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 3 Nov 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The Hawks in Motion (HIM) High Intensity Exercise program is designed to implement the American Physical Therapy Clinical Practice Guidelines and American College of Sports Medicine recommendations for exercise for people with neurologic disability. Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students administer the HIM High Intensity Exercise Program. A prior study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the HIM High Intensity Exercise Program and found it feasible, safe, and effective for 30 people with neurologic disabilities between the ages of 8-99 years. The investigators would like to evaluate whether participation in the HIM High Intensity Exercise Program affects mobility in everyday life. Physical activity will be measured one week before program implementation and one week after to assess if the participants' mobility in everyday improved.
