Do YOU want to dance?

We are looking for volunteers to take part in a study on a dance or exercise program for people with stroke

We need people who:

Had a stroke more than 6-months ago
Can walk 10 meters without physical assistance from another person
Have received clearance from their physician to participate in exercise

Be randomly assigned to either the dance group OR the exercise group
Perform balance tasks and tell us what you think of your groups’ program

Time commitment:

Pre and post testing to assess a variety of outcomes including balance and walking patterns (3 hours for each visit)
