Exercise comparison for muscle loss after stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of leg exercise programs (high-intensity vs. moderate-intensity interval training) to see which better helps rebuild muscle strength and function in people who have had a stroke within the past 1 to 6 months.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 looks at whether a specific exercise program can help people with chronic stroke (more than 6 months ago) who still have some weakness in their leg. It aims to improve walking and overall physical ability.
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.
