Study of high-intensity interval training after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise program can help people with walking difficulties after a stroke. It looks for veterans who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago and walk slowly, to see if this type of exercise can improve their recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a U.S. military veteran
- You had a stroke that affected your walking, and it's been at least 6 months since the stroke
- Your walking speed is slower than 0.6 meters per second (about 2 feet per second) on a 10-meter walk test
- You do not have a pacemaker or severe claustrophobia (fear of tight spaces)
- You do not have other conditions like Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis that affect your leg movement
- You do not have any medical condition that would make it unsafe to exercise

This study tests whether a 12-week exercise program can help people who have had a stroke walk better. It focuses on those with a slower walking speed and uses brain scans to see if exercise can trigger positive changes in the brain.
This study tests whether a high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program—short bursts of intense exercise with rest periods—can help improve walking, balance, and daily function in people who have had a stroke. It is for adults who are 50 to 80 years old, had their first stroke 1 to 5 years ago, and can walk at least 10 meters on their own.
This study compares two types of exercise training to see which one better improves heart health, movement, and thinking skills in people who have had a stroke. It is for those who had a moderate stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk with some help.
This study tests high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to reduce fatigue after a stroke. If you often feel tired and have had a stroke in the past 6 months to 5 years, this program may help you regain energy.
This trial tests if high-intensity treadmill training can improve walking speed for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. It focuses on those who still walk slowly and may use a walker or cane.
This study tests whether a short, high-intensity interval exercise program is safe and practical for people who are recovering from a stroke during inpatient rehabilitation. You will be asked to do short bursts of exercise on a recumbent stepper, with rest periods, while your heart rate and blood pressure are monitored.
