Biologic Mechanisms of Early Exercise After Intracerebral Hemorrhage: a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Cycle Ergometry
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Supine cycle ergometry of the lower extremities for Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Acute Ischemic Stroke. Completed, enrolled 25 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study aims to determine whether in-bed cycle ergometry, early in the hospital course after a brain hemorrhage could balance damaging and reparative inflammation in the brain. Inflammatory factors of two groups of patients with brain hemorrhage will be compared, one group will receive in-bed cycling beginning 3 days after hemorrhage plus usual care and the other group will receive usual care only.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The cycle ergometer allows for movement of the lower extremities by a motor if a patient is experiencing a disorder of consciousness or is otherwise unable to move one or both legs. If a patient is able to cycle actively the device allows the patient to move patient's legs without support of the motor.
