Exercise is an evidence-based approach for reducing falls risk, even among those who are living with stroke-related impairments (3,4). More recently, mindfulness based meditation is gaining recognition for its positive impact on both physical and cognitive health (6,7). Thus, the investigators hypothesize that combining exercise with mindful meditation may be greater impact on falls risk reduction as compared with exercise alone. To begin exploring our hypothesis, we will conduct a 12-week proof-of-concept study among 20 older adults with chronic stroke (i.e., suffered their first clinical stroke > or = 12 months prior to study entry). Participants will be randomly allocated to either: 1) exercise; or 2) exercise + mindfulness based meditation. Outcomes will include measures of mobility, balance, and cognitive function.
