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.

Musées de la ville de Genève
Geneva, Switzerland
Number of steps during visit in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
An activity tracker on the visitor's wrist will measure the number of steps taken while visiting the museum. Parameter: number of steps.
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The standing balance will be tested in bipedal with forceplate. Parameters: center of pressure displacement (mm).
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The standing balance will be tested in bipedal with forceplate. Parameters: center of pressure speed (mm/s).
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): Postural control in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The standing balance will be tested in bipedal with forceplate. Parameters: center of pressure sway area (mm2).
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): gait speed in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The gait speed will be tested with the Ten-meter walking test. Parameter: gait speed (m/s)
Time frame: 75 minutes
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)
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)
Time frame: 75 minutes
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)
The knee extensors muscle strength will be measured with an hand-held dynamometer. Parameter: maximal voluntary force in Newton (N).
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): fatigue in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): pain in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The pain will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): anxiety in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The anxiety will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.
Time frame: 75 minutes
Change from baseline (pre-visit): museum well-being in the three groups (free visit vs. guided visit and guided visit for individuals with stroke)
The well-being will be tested with the museum well-being survey.
Time frame: 75 minutes
Safety endpoint 1: fatigue
The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.
Time frame: 3 hours
Safety endpoint 2: pain
The fatigue will be tested with the Numeric Rating Scale. Parameter: 10-points score.
Time frame: 3 hours
Safety endpoint 3: number of subjects
The safety endpoint will be tested with the calculation of the number of subjects who completed the visit and the tests.
Time frame: 3 hours
