Brief summary
Sedentary behaviour is particularly high among the older and in the presence of a chronic pathology. Physical activity is limited mainly by the lack of accessibility to activities offered in the city and the lack of motivation. The objective is to study the physical solicitations and the well-being during the visit of a museum (free or guided visit). Our hypothesis is that this cultural activity induces a sufficient physical solicitation for sedentary people and for individuals with a post-stroke motor disability. All the tests will be carried out during the same day by experienced physiotherapists. Physical and well-being tests will be performed before and after the visits. The number of steps taken during the visit will be measured. This is a different approach to promote physical activity and this proposal is an original way to stimulate the physical, psychic and social health of sedentary people. If the results are beneficial, museums could become real health partners to stimulate the activity of sedentary people.
Interventions
OTHERFree visit
The persons with sedentary (healthy) in this group will have to visit the museum freely (without a guide) for a period of 75 minutes.
OTHERGuided visit
The persons with sedentary (healthy) in this group will have to visit the museum with a guide for a period of 75 minutes.
OTHERGuided visit (stroke)
The persons with motor disability after stroke in this group will have to visit the museum with a guide for a period of 75 minutes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of steps during visit in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | An activity tracker on the visitor's wrist will measure the number of steps taken while visiting the museum. Parameter: number of steps. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The standing balance will be tested in bipedal with forceplate. Parameters: center of pressure displacement (mm). |
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): gait speed in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The gait speed will be tested with the Ten-meter walking test. Parameter: gait speed (m/s) |
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): sit to stand transfert in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The sit to stand transfert will be tested with the five sit to stand test. Parameter: duration to realize five sit-to stand transferts (seconds) |
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): lower limb muscle strength in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The knee extensors muscle strength will be measured with an hand-held dynamometer. Parameter: maximal voluntary force in Newton (N). |
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): fatigue in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score. |
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): pain in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The pain will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score. |
| Safety endpoint 2: pain | 3 hours | The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score. |
| Safety endpoint 3: number of subjects | 3 hours | The safety endpoint will be tested with the calculation of the number of subjects who completed the visit and the tests. |
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): anxiety in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The anxiety will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score. |
| Change from baseline (pre-visit): museum well-being in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | 75 minutes | The well-being will be tested with the museum well-being survey. |
| Safety endpoint 1: fatigue | 3 hours | The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cognitive status in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | baseline 60 minutes | The cognitive function will be tested with the Mini Mental State Evaluation. Parameter: score / 28 points. |
| Motor status in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke) | baseline 60 minutes | The motor function will be tested with the Mini BESTest. Parameter: score in percentage. |
