Intense exercise for stroke recovery in the hospital
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a new type of exercise (called LVHIIT) is safe and possible for people who are in the hospital recovering from a stroke. If you join, you'll do short bursts of higher-intensity exercise on a special bike, which may help improve your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.

- You can use a recumbent stepper machine (sitting pedaling) for at least 3 minutes without stopping.
- You have no heart or other medical conditions that make exercise unsafe.

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 trial studies whether doing high-intensity exercise helps people recover walking and other skills better than usual therapy after a stroke. It is for people who are already in a rehabilitation hospital and can walk a short distance with help.
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 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.
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.
