Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Science
  • Digital Health
  • Community Health

Background:

  • Virtual exercise programs overcome access barriers for individuals with mobility limitations.
  • Gaps exist in understanding delivery methods and participant engagement strategies in virtual programs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the intervention and methodological characteristics of virtual community exercise programs.
  • To identify common practices and outcomes in these programs for adults with mobility limitations.

Main Methods:

  • Scoping review of 36 studies on virtual community exercise programs.
  • Data summarized descriptively; outcomes classified using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF).

Main Results:

  • Programs commonly targeted individuals with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and stroke.
  • Most frequent delivery: 60-min group sessions via Zoom™ (80% synchronous) by physiotherapists, 2x/week for 8 weeks.
  • Interventions included strength (44%), aerobic (31%), and balance training (19%); safety strategies were inconsistently reported.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual community exercise programs are predominantly physiotherapist-led, group-based, and delivered via Zoom™.
  • Findings indicate a need for larger trials with standardized outcomes to support scalability and implementation.
