Remote delivery of seated exercises transfers to improved balance and mobility after stroke: a case report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Seated exercises can reduce the need for in-person assistance during remote-delivered programs, but its safety implications in stroke are unknown. OBJECTIVE: This case-report investigates the effect of a novel, remotely delivered 2-week seated exercise program on mobility in a person living with stroke. CASE DESCRIPTION: A 68-year-old man living with a chronic stroke (>1-year post-stroke) and moderate disability (Modified Rankin Scale = 3) participated in a 2-week seated exercise program delivered remotely through videoconferencing (Zoom). Sessions were 60 min, 3 times per week. The participant worked on average at 37% of heart rate reserve (range: 21-53%). OUTCOMES: No adverse events were reported during the 2-week intervention. After 2 weeks, Berg Balance Scale score improved by five points. Distance in the six-minute walk test increased from 218 m to 278 m and walking speed increased at self-selected walking (0.18 m/s) and fast-walking (0.28 m/s) pace. Sit-to-stands increased from 5 to 9 sit-to-stands in 30 s. Stroke Impact Scale improved in the following domains: hand function, activities of daily living, mobility, and participation. DISCUSSION: This novel case-report demonstrated the potential for a 2-week seated exercise program to transfer to meaningful improvements in balance and mobility in a person living with a chronic stroke and mobility impairment. Given the stable seated position, no in-person support was required, while the instructor safely delivered the intervention remotely.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
