New treatment option for Stroke
Official title Blood Flow Regulation and Neuromuscular Function Post-Stroke
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06027294
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- The muscles of stroke survivors can fatigue faster compared to muscles in people who have not had a stroke, which can limit how long a person with stroke can perform tasks such as walking. This study will examine how blood flow is regulated to the exercising leg muscle post-stroke, because if the muscle does not receive enough blood flow it will become fatigued.
