Brief Summary

It is an interventional study in which 68 stroke patients are estimated to be enrolled according to random allocation and will be divided into two groups. The study group participants will be involved in Telerehabilitation sessions, which will be based on aerobic exercises, guided by video with the Baduanjin exercise program; the control group will receive the same aerobic exercises only

Detailed Description

It is an interventional study in which 68 stroke patients are estimated to enroll according to random allocation and will be divided into two groups. The study group participants will be involved in telerehabilitation sessions based on aerobic exercises guided by video. The telerehabilitation program will be moderately intense aerobic exercise 3 times per week and will be 3 sessions/week for 3 months.

. The exercise intensity of each telerehabilitation session will be individually adjusted by the participants' Modified Borg perceived exertion and maximum heart rate. The Baduanjin exercise program is delivered individually, at each patient's home, through telerehabilitation, with direct remote supervision by a physiotherapist. The control group will receive the same aerobic exercises only.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
six-minute walk test	12 weeks	The 6MWT is a reliable and good measure of functional capacity. The test will be carried out according to the guidelines set forth by the American Thoracic Society (ATS).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
sleep quality	12 weeks	The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
berg balance scale	12 weeks	A common, standardized tool for assessing balance in stroke patients is the BBS. The scale has 14 components, including transfers, standing on one leg, standing to sitting, standing without assistance, and sitting to standing.
Cognitive function	12 weeks	mini mental state examination
functional independence measure	12 weeks	FIM was developed to measure the ability of stroke patients to do daily tasks to assess changes in their functional status. The 18 items consist of 13 items that define a motor ability disorder
physical function	12 weeks	physical performance battery
