Power Exercise for Stroke Recovery: The POWER Feasibility Trial
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 26 Nov 2024
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Post-stroke deficits are highly common and functional impairment persists throughout life after stroke. Skeletal muscle mass and strength are fundamental contributors to mobility throughout the adult life course. Stroke-related muscle atrophy contributes to loss of strength, and declines in lower extremity function, cardiorespiratory fitness, and walking independence and post-stroke sarcopenia. Improving the quantity and function of skeletal muscle needs to be an important therapeutic target after stroke. Resistance exercise training (RET) has been shown to increase skeletal muscle mass, strength and power, reduce oxidative stress, improve cardiac function, and better regulate lipids after stroke. However, the feasibility and the effects of a power focused RET program for individuals with stroke need to be examined.
