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.
About half of stroke survivors have trouble sleeping, and poor sleep increases the risk of another stroke and early death. This trial tests whether a 26-week exercise program can improve sleep quality in people living with chronic stroke (at least one year after their stroke) compared to a control group doing cognitive and social activities instead.
Current stroke rehabilitation doesn't focus on sleep problems, even though poor sleep after stroke is linked to depression, weakness, and memory loss. Research shows exercise helps other people sleep better, but we don't yet know if it works for stroke survivors specifically.

You will join one of two groups for 26 weeks. One group attends twice-weekly in-person exercise classes with moderate intensity activity; the other group attends twice-weekly cognitive and social activities (like games and discussion groups). Both groups will have regular assessments including sleep monitoring with a device you wear, sleep quality questionnaires, and tests of mood, thinking, and physical function.
