Inflammatory Abnormalities in Muscle After Stroke: Effects of Exercise
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Velocity based treadmill training and Duration based treadmill training for Stroke and Inflammation. Completed, enrolled 99 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to first define whether abnormalities of skeletal muscle are related to the presence of inflammation and to poor motor performance and whether this can be modified by exercise interventions.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
6 month of progressive treadmill walking with a safety harness and hand rail support to prevent falls. Treadmill speed is gradually progressed to meet the training heart rate goals for moderate aerobic exercise, when hemiparetic gait velocity can no longer be progressed, incline is added to achieve heart rate training goals. Progression is also based on participant's tolerance, abilities and safety.
6 month of progressive treadmill walking with a safety harness and hand rail support to prevent falls. Treadmill duration is gradually progressed to meet the endurance goals for low aerobic intensity exercise, gait velocity and incline do not progress. Progression is based on participant's tolerance, abilities and safety.
