Supervised exercise delivered via telehealth in real time to manage chronic conditions in adults: A protocol for a scoping review to inform future research in stroke survivors

Abstract

Introduction Increasing physical activity reduces secondary stroke risk factors, but many stroke survivors have low levels of physical activity. Supervised exercise delivered via telehealth has the potential to overcome barriers to increased physical activity in stroke survivors. Our scoping review will examine the emerging field of supervised exercise delivered via telehealth to map the available evidence in relation to its efficacy, acceptability, safety and feasibility in chronic conditions to inform future research into its ability to increase physical activity. Methods and analysis The methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley will be applied to our scoping review. A systematic se..
