About this study

This is a two-stage study. In the first stage, 30 subjects with stroke (onset > 2 weeks) are recruited, and they are assessed and recorded with clinical characteristics, sympathetic nerve testing, and twice symptom-limit exercise capacity tests. The second stage would recruited 90 subjects with stroke (onset>2 weeks), and they are randomized to one of three groups (control, low-intensity, high-intensity). They are evaluated before and after the four-week interval with clinical characteristics and twice symptom-limit exercise capacity tests (baseline and after four-week training) .

Read the detailed description

This is a two-stage study. In the first stage, 30 subjects with stroke (onset > 2 weeks) are recruited, and they are assessed and recorded with sympathetic nerve testing, anthropometry, and twice symptom-limit exercise capacity tests.The second stage would recruited 90 subjects with stroke (onset>2 weeks), and they are randomized to one of three groups. The control group undergoes traditional rehabilitation only, The low-intensity exercise group receives a low-intensity four-week cycle ergometry and traditional rehabilitation. The The high-intensity exercise group gets a high-intensity four-week cycle ergometry and traditional rehabilitation. They are evaluated by sympathetic tests, anthropometry, functional scales and activity questionnaires, and symptom-limit exercise capacity tests before and after the four-week training.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. change values of symptom-limit exercise capacity

    value was showed by oxygen uptake (mL/kg/min)

    Measured: baseline and after four-week training

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. change values of sympathetic nerve tests

    change value was measure by blood pressure (from lying to stand, mm-Hg) at baseline and after four weeks

    Measured: baseline and after four-week training
