简要总结
Stroke is a major health problem among Egyptian population; an obvious raise in stroke prevalence in all Egyptian governorates. Most stroke survivors commonly develop disabilities those were correlated with restricted physical activity levels. Stroke survivors' cardio-respiratory fitness has several negative impacts such as elevated risk of being affected by other cardiovascular diseases. So, the current study will be conducted to cover the lack in literature concerning the effect of aerobic training on cardiovascular endurance in stroke survivors aiming to faster recovery and reduce the risk of cardiac dysfunction and recurrent strokes.
详细描述
Stroke as a cerebrovascular accident has a significant prevalence, as well it was addressed a one of major etiologies for other comorbidities, even mortality. Where, cardiac rehabilitation is a structured exercise program that almost designed to offer an opportunity to break the inactivity cycle, reduce associated cardiovascular risks, also improve perceived confidence and quality of life in stroke survivors . Therefore, aerobic training could be defined as a core component that focuses on cardio-respiratory fitness, walking speed and endurance for stroke survivors. Up on that, this clinical trial will be conducted to investigate the effect of aerobic training on cardiorespiratory fitness and health related quality of life in stroke survivors. It will be conducted on eighty post stroke patient (hemiplegic; 55-65 years old with functional ambulatory category more than 3) from Outpatient clinic of neurological department of El-Kasr El-Aini Hospital. They will be allocated into 2 groups; Group A will involves 40 patients will receive aerobic training program, plus traditional physical therapy program. While, Group B will involves 40 patients will receive traditional physical therapy program only. 6-Menutes walk test, Stroke impact scale are the outcome measures.

结局指标
主要结局
6-Minutes walk test
时间窗: Baseline of the study, and after 16 weeks at the end of the study.
A sub-maximal exercise test will be used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance, and functional capability of stroke survivors. 6-Minutes walk test requires stop watch, measuring/ trundle wheel, 30 meter stretch of unimpeded walk way, 2 cones, pulse oximeter, and Borg breathlessness scale. It has excellent reliability, validity, and responsiveness. Its' gained scoring values will be expressed in meters that if more indicates better recovery.
