Study Overview

Brief Summary

Theobjective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of exercise-based cardiacrehabilitation in stroke patients by assessing the outcomes of endurance,functional strength, and autonomic function.

Arandomized controlled trial will be conducted to compare the effects ofexercise-based cardiac rehabilitation between stroke patients and healthyindividuals. The study will consist of two groups: an intervention group ofstroke patients and a control group of healthy individuals. Both groups willundergo exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation, but the intervention group willinclude stroke patients while the control group will comprise healthyindividuals.

Inclusion Criteria

  • •The study will include patients who meet the following criteria: a confirmed diagnosis of ischemic stroke based on medical records and imaging studies, aged between 40 and 75 years, in the subacute stage of ischemic stroke according to the Burnstrom classification (1 to 3 months post-stroke), medically stable and cleared for exercise by a healthcare professional.
  • •Participants should also demonstrate willingness and ability to provide informed consent and possess adequate physical and cognitive abilities to engage in a structured rehabilitation program.
  • •Previous participation in a structured cardiac rehabilitation program will be an exclusion criterion.

Exclusion Criteria

  • •Participants who exhibit severe cognitive impairments that hinder their ability to understand and participate in the study procedures will be excluded.
  • •Additionally, individuals with uncontrolled medical conditions that may interfere with exercise participation, such as severe cardiac or respiratory disease, uncontrolled hypertension, or active infections, will not be included in the study.
  • •Participants with contraindications to exercise as determined by a healthcare professional, such as recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, severe arrhythmias, uncontrolled heart failure, or severe orthopedic conditions that prohibit safe exercise, will also be excluded.
  • •Those with significant neurological impairments that prevent safe and effective participation in the rehabilitation program, severe comorbidities, or conditions that limit the ability to engage in exercise safely will not be eligible for inclusion.
  • •Furthermore, pregnancy will be an exclusion criterion, as exercise prescription may need to be modified for pregnant individuals.
  • •Finally, individuals who are unable to provide informed consent or comply with the study procedures will not be included in the study.
