How Often to Exercise After a Stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether exercising more often (high frequency) or less often (low frequency) helps people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago walk better. You'll do high-intensity walking workouts, and the goal is to see which schedule gives the most improvement.
