Summary

The focus of this interventional study is to assess the feasibility of blood flow restriction training (BFRT) in a geriatric stroke population. Patients will undergo a 4-week program of BFRT additionally to our standard physiotherapy, conducted twice weekly by experienced physiotherapists.

The main goal of the study is to assess its feasibility concerning the safety and tolerance of BFRT from a patients and therapists scope. Furthermore, the investigators want to establish the proportion of eligible individuals \& their willingness to undergo BFRT, as well as the time investment.

The feasibility of an effectiveness study and potential sample size will be evaluated aside.
