Read our Stroke research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study tests whether stroke survivors benefit from a structured cardiac rehabilitation program—a supervised exercise and education program traditionally used for heart patients. Researchers want to see if adding this program to your standard stroke recovery care helps you recover better, stay out of the hospital, and reduce your risk of another stroke.
After a stroke, your heart and blood vessels need special attention to prevent another stroke and help you recover as fully as possible. This trial explores whether the exercise and education techniques used in heart rehabilitation programs can help stroke survivors heal better.

If you join the cardiac rehabilitation group, you will attend 36 supervised exercise sessions at a medical center, each lasting 30 to 50 minutes. These sessions include progressive exercise (like using a recumbent bike) and educational classes about managing cardiovascular risk factors. You will also continue your standard stroke recovery therapies, such as physical therapy or speech therapy, as prescribed by your doctors. The entire program takes place during your stay in the rehabilitation facility after your stroke.
