Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Other illness

  • Acute Myocardial Infarction in the last 2 days
  • Ongoing unstable Angina
  • Decompensated Heart Failure
  • Acute Pulmonary Embolism, Pulmonary Insufficiency, or Deep Veinous Thrombosis
  • Other significant neurologic, orthopedic, or peripheral vascular conditions that would limit exercise participation
  • Oxygen-dependent chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
  • Neurological disease (Multiple Sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease)

Other

  • Implanted pacemaker or defibrillator limiting exercise performance
  • Reported pain that limits or interferes with activities of daily living and physical activity/exercise
  • Active Endocarditis
  • Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis
  • Acute Myocarditis or Pericarditis
  • Pregnancy

Who the study is looking for

  • -Both sexes between the age of 18-85 years at time of consent
  • Ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke at consent. People with stroke and newly diagnosed cardiovascular complications had \>50% prevalence of recurrent stroke at 5 years. Index stroke or recurrent stroke on same side as index stroke will be allowed.
  • Exercise continuously for minimum of 30 watts for 3 minutes on the recumbent stepper to demonstrate ability to perform the exercise test or therapist confirmation/documentation of participant's ability to use the recumbent stepper.
  • No aerobic exercise contraindications or other safety/physical concerns during the submaximal exercise test determined by the therapy team or inpatient physicians.
  • Able to communicate with investigators, follow 2-step command \& correctly answer consent comprehension questions
