Abstract

AbstractMany people with neurological conditions experience challenges with movement. Although rehabilitation is often provided acutely and sub-acutely following the onset of a condition, motor deficits commonly persist in the long-term and are exacerbated by disuse and inactivity. Notably, motor rehabilitation approaches that incorporate exercise and physical activity can support gains in motor function even in the chronic stages of many neurological conditions. However, delivering motor rehabilitation on a long-term basis to people with chronic neurological conditions is a challenge within health care systems, and the onus is often placed on patients to find and pay for services. While neurological motor rehabilitation is largely the domain of physical and occupational therapists, kinesiologists may be able to complement existing care and support delivery of long-term neurological motor rehabilitation, specifically through provision of supported exercise and physical activity programs. In this perspective style review article, we discuss potential contributions of kinesiologists to advancing the field through exercise programming, focusing on community-based interventions that increase physical activity levels. We conclude with recommendations on how kinesiologists’ role might be further optimized towards improving long-term outcomes for people with chronic neurological conditions, considering issues related to professional regulation and models of care.
