Summary

This trial aims to assess the effects of exercise on individuals with and without neurologic diagnoses, as well as their care partners. Exercise has long-term physical and psychosocial benefits, so this study looks to see how HIFT helps.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who can read and speak English, have a neurological condition like spinal cord injury, Parkinson's, stroke, or multiple sclerosis (or are care partners of someone with such conditions), can move their arms well, get around on their own, and have doctor approval to exercise. They must also handle their own transport to the study site.
What is being tested?
The study tests high intensity functional training (HIFT) exercises' effects on physical and mental health in people with neurological disorders and their caregivers. It involves structured group workouts designed for both populations.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for HIFT exercises in this context, participants may experience typical workout-related issues like muscle soreness or fatigue. Those with certain medical conditions might face increased risks which should be discussed beforehand.
