If you can answer YES to all of these questions, then FAME is the program for you!

Two instructors demonstrate how a participant might do an exercise in front of a chair.
  • Have you had a stroke?
  • Can you stand for 5 minutes?
  • Can you walk for 10 metres without another person helping you (with or without a walking aid)?
  • Can you communicate with the instructor?
    • Can you follow instructions given verbally or in combination with gestures and demonstrations?
    • Can you let the instructor know if you have pain, or do not want to do a particular exercise?
  • Can you sit down and stand up on your own?
  • Are you medically stable?
    • For example, your blood pressure or atrial fibrillation is controlled with medication; you do not have chest pain with activity.
  • Do you want to improve your walking, fitness balance and/or help prevent another stroke?
