The purpose of this study is to examine if non-contact boxing exercises improve balance, physical performance, quality of life and physical activity in adults with chronic stroke. It will also learn about the physical activity trend in adults with chronic stroke. The main research questions of the study are:
Participants will need to complete the following tasks over 8 weeks:
Each participant will receive a pedometer at the end of the initial evaluation session of the study. The pedometer will be used to track their daily step count. After 8 weeks, each participant will receive a gift card with a nominal value at the final evaluation session.
Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.
(1) Adults (age 18-80 years): (2) With chronic stroke (over 9 months), (3) Walk independently with or without an assistive device for a household distance (4) (MoCA) score 23 or higher, (5) Self-report doing fine in daily activities (6) have passed the fall risk screening by the instructor (a physical therapist) of exercise program at the TWU Stroke Center to participate in the community-based group exercises.
Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Short tests of memory and thinking, each scored out of 30. Lower scores suggest more difficulty; criteria give a range, either to include people with memory problems or to leave them out.

non-contact group boxing exercises will be delivered at a community setting.
Behavioral: Community-based non-contact boxing group exercise
The non-contact boxing exercise in delivered as a group once per week at a community-based setting for 8 weeks
The ABC scale
The ABC scale is to assess balance confidence while performing various tasks without losing balance or feeling a state of unsteadiness. Some activities in the test include walking around the house, using stairs, reaching for objects, standing, and getting in and out of a car.
Time frame: 8 weeks
PHQ-9
The PHQ-9 is a 9-item questionnaire used to screen for the severity of depression based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) criteria. Each item is scored 0-3, reflecting how often symptoms occurred over the past two weeks.
Time frame: 8 weeks
The Berg Balance Scale
The Berg Balance Scale is a 14-item assessment that assesses static and functional balance in adults in order to determine fall risk. It consists of standing, sitting, and sit-to-stand while unsupported. The test also includes maintaining balance while reaching and head turning.
Time frame: 8 weeks
The 10-Meter Walk Test
The 10-Meter Walk Test is a gait speed assessment that requires the participant to walk 6 meters. Participants are asked to walk as fast as possible while maintaining their balance. They will be given 2 trials and gait speed will be calculated by taking the average of the two trials.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance:
Modified Clinical Test of Sensory Interaction on Balance: This computerized test assesses an individual's postural sway and risk of falls at different conditions (30 seconds each): eyes open/firm surface, eyes closed/firm, eyes open/foam surface. eyes closed/foam surface. There are rails on both side of the platform that the participant can hold onto when needed, and two researchers will guard the participant with a gait belt.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Physical activity
Participants will wear a pedometer to track their daily step count and record on the activity log (on paper) over 8 weeks. The research team will call them every week to collect their previous 7-day step count data.
Time frame: 8 weeks
Plan to share: Yes — The study protocol and statistical plan will be shared.
Supporting information: Study protocol, Statistical analysis plan, Informed consent form, Clinical study report
Time frame: The IPD will be shared after completing the study (8/31/2028) for 3 years.

Started Aug 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2028, 24 months after the start.
Of 3,111 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Stroke, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 24 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 3,255 studies reached it within 23 months; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 46.
