The Feasibility of LVHIIT on Inpatient Stroke Rehab
Starting soon · Early Phase 1
Conditions studied: Stroke, High Intensity Interval Training, Aerobic Fitness, Physical Therapy
In brief
The objective of this study is to explore the safety and feasibility of conducting low-volume, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a total body recumbent stepper (TBRS) in persons with stroke in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.

Age: 18 and older, up to 85. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.
You may qualify if…
- -Both sexes between the age of 18-85 years at time of consent
- Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke at consent. People with stroke and newly diagnosed cardiovascular complications had >50% prevalence of recurrent stroke at 5 years. Index stroke or recurrent stroke on same side as index stroke will be allowed.
- Exercise continuously for minimum of 30 watts for 3 minutes on the recumbent stepper to demonstrate ability to perform the exercise test or therapist confirmation/documentation of participant's ability to use the recumbent stepper.
- No aerobic exercise contraindications or other safety/physical concerns during the submaximal exercise test determined by the therapy team or inpatient physicians.
- Able to communicate with investigators, follow 2-step command \& correctly answer consent comprehension questions
You may not qualify if…
- Implanted pacemaker or defibrillator limiting exercise performance
- Reported pain that limits or interferes with activities of daily living and physical activity/exercise
- Acute Myocardial Infarction in the last 2 days
- Ongoing unstable Angina
- Active Endocarditis
- Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis
- Decompensated Heart Failure
- Acute Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Insufficiency, or Deep Veinous Thrombosis
- Acute Myocarditis or Pericarditis
- Other significant neurologic, orthopedic, or peripheral vascular conditions that would limit exercise participation
- Oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Neurological disease (Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease)
- Pregnancy
