Effects of Combined Resistance and Aerobic Training vs Aerobic Training on Cognition and Mobility Following Stroke

NCT01712724 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 72

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Both aerobic training (AT) and resistance/strength training (RT) have the potential to improve recovery after stroke. Research conducted in chronic disease and healthy populations suggest that AT and RT "combination therapy" may produce synergistic and superior effects along cognition and mobility domains, when compared to AT alone. However, the effects of a combined training approach (AT+RT) compared to AT alone has not been investigated in people post-stroke.

Conditions

  • Cerebrovascular Accident

Interventions

OTHER

combined resistance and aerobic training

For the group randomized to AT+RT, Patients will gradually be progressed from 1-2 sets and then from 10-15 repetitions and then increase resistance by 1.6-5 kg or increase the exercise band level and then reduced repetitions to 10 and repeated this process.
