To Develop a Walking Exercise Program for Non-ambulatory Stroke Survivors
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Stroke, Walking, Difficulty, Cardiovascular Injury
In brief
The goal of this clinical trial is to test a gait (walking) training program in non-ambulatory (unable to walk) chronic stroke survivors. The main question it aims to answer is: • Will gait training improve the cardiovascular system in non-ambulatory chronic stroke survivors better than a sitting leg cycling exercise? Participants will walk on a treadmill with a partial body-weight support system and the gait training device. Researchers will compare with a leg-cycling exercise to see if there are significant differences in resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and A1c levels in the blood.
