Moderate-vigorous Intermittent Physical Activity (M-VILPA) in Stroke
The Effectiveness of Moderate-vigorous Intermittent Lifestyle Physical Activity and Health Education to Increase Intense Physical Activity in Stroke Survivors: a Pragmatic Randomised Controlled Trial (MV-ILPA-stroke)
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Jul 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Stroke is the leading cause of disability in Spain. Additionally, it is the second leading cause of death in women and the third in both sexes. Regular physical activity (PA) helps prevent and manage stroke. It also helps with hypertension, maintains a healthy body weight, and improves mental health, quality of life, and well-being. PA plays a prominent role in inpatient care after stroke. However, stroke survivors become more sedentary when discharged from the hospital. They have muscle weakness, reduced balance, and fatigue. Consequently, PA levels of community-dwelling post-stroke individuals remain lower than their age-matched counterparts. Continued PA can help this population maintain and improve physical function, and reduce long-term functional limitations, and mortality risk.
