Exercise and Motor Learning After Stroke

This study is looking at how exercise affects learning new walking patterns in people who have had a stroke. You might be able to join if you are 18-85 years old, had a single stroke more than 6 months ago, can walk without help, and have specific heart rate and blood pressure readings. The study will test if 5 minutes of exercise right after learning a new walking pattern helps you remember it better 24 hours later. The study aims to enroll 80 participants. The current status of the study is unclear.

Study design
This is an interventional study with 80 planned participants. You would be randomly assigned to either a control group or an exercise group.
What's involved
You would learn a new walking pattern using special visual feedback. You would also have your ability to remember this pattern tested immediately and 24 hours later. If in the exercise group, you would complete 5 minutes of exercise on an ergometer.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your ability to retain the new walking pattern will be measured 24 hours after learning.
