Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

To examine the feasibility of Low-Volume Interval Training (LV-ITT) and Resistance Exercise (RE) on walking performance (walking endurance, gait speed, functional balance), lower limb muscle strength and quality of life among individuals with post-stroke.

Clinical Trial Description

Prescribing aerobic and resistance training in concurrence is proposed as an optimum strategy to target cardiovascular as well as musculoskeletal functions in individuals with post-stroke. Lower limb's resistance training alone in chronic stroke produces a large effect on muscle strength. However, it has shown uncertainty results on walking performance. Therefore, it is suggested that to prescribe mix training (treadmill training and strength training) in order to improve muscle strength, gait performance and quality of life in stroke survivors. Previous studies have shown the effect of mixed training on walking performance and endurance in other populations such as multiple sclerosis and coronary artery disease. However, there is a lack of study that conducted mixed training among chronic post-stroke. Therefore, the feasibility study on the effectiveness of combining LV-ITT and RE in post-stroke should be conducted. ;
