Eligibility Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Community-dwelling
- Age ≥55-75 years
- PCML as assessed using a questionnaire that requires respondents to self-report difficulties with their mobility (walking 2.0km). Respondents will be considered in a stage of PCML if they report no task difficulty but report modification of task performance (i.e. modify frequency, method or time to complete the task)
- Understanding of spoken and written English
- Own a laptop computer, have an email address and have internet capabilities of running the video-conferencing platform, Zoom©.
- Resident of Ontario, Canada
Exclusion Criteria:
- A score of <11 on the MoCA 5-Minute telephone screen
- Major illness that would prevent participation

Participant Group / ArmParticipant Group / Arm |
Intervention / TreatmentIntervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Stepping-Up Group
Participants will attend one 2-hour virtual session (1-hour exercise and 1-hour SM) per week.
Each class of 6-8 participants is supervised by a Physiotherapist (PT) and kinesiologist who will individually tailor the exercises for each participant.
|
The intervention group will receive STEPPING-UP, a virtual 12-week, multicomponent intervention that includes tailored task-oriented motor learning exercise and a mobility self-management (SM) program.
|
|
Active Comparator: TELE Group
The initial telephone session will be 20-30 minutes, with subsequent weekly calls will be approximately 10 minutes.
|
The participants assigned to this group will receive a 12-week Telephone-Based Coaching Walking Program (TELE) delivered by a PT who will help participants set short and long term walking goals.
|
|
Placebo Comparator: Chair-Based Yoga Group
Participants will attend two 1-hour virtual sessions per week to ensure this group is matched for attention to STEPPING-UP.
|
Participants assigned to this group will receive a virtual 12-week Chair-Based Yoga Program (YOGA), a group-based exercise control where participants will undertake a seated exercise program that includes: warm up, seated and standing yoga poses, cool down.

Exercise capacity
Time Frame: Baseline
|
2-Minute Step Test (TMST): The TMST is a test of exercise capacity that can be used as an alternative to a timed long-distance walking test when assessment space is limited.
Individuals are required to march in place as quickly as possible for 2 minutes while lifting their knees to a height midway between their patella and iliac crest when standing.

Balance
Time Frame: Baseline

Unipedal Stance Test (UPST): The UPST is used to assess static balance.
68 Individuals are asked to stand barefoot on the limb of their choice until they (1) use their arms (i.e., uncross arms), (2) use their raised foot (i.e., move it toward or away from the standing limb or touched the floor), (3) move the weight-bearing foot to maintain their balance (i.e., rotate foot on the ground) or (4) maintain the position for a maximum of 45 seconds.

Self-efficacy for physical activity:
Time Frame: Baseline
