Integrating Stroke Survivors Into Cardiac Rehabilitation

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Stroke

In brief

The intervention trial will examine the effectiveness and feasibility of integrating stroke survivors into an existing hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation program at Novant Health in Charlotte, NC. Stroke survivors will be recruited through hospital system providers and physical therapists (PTs) for entry into a multidisciplinary, three-month cardiac rehabilitation program. This program consists of three sessions per week of supervised cardiovascular endurance and strength training, stretching, relaxation and education. Participants will be stroke survivors, have completed formal physical and occupational rehabilitation (if applicable), and have treating provider approval.
