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 trial is testing a 12-week exercise program called PC3-BAMS that combines aerobic exercise (like walking on a treadmill) and strength training (like weights). The program is adapted from cardiac rehabilitation, which has helped heart attack patients recover. Researchers want to see if this approach can help stroke survivors regain physical strength and improve depression symptoms.
After a stroke, many people struggle with weakness and depression, but few exercise programs are designed specifically for stroke recovery. This treatment is being tested because cardiac rehabilitation has worked well for heart patients, but stroke survivors haven't had access to similar, well-studied programs—especially those dealing with depression.

You would attend 36 sessions of exercise training over 12 weeks (typically 3 sessions per week). Each session includes aerobic exercise to build cardiovascular fitness and resistance training to strengthen muscles, particularly in your legs and core. You'll also complete questionnaires and physical tests at the beginning, middle, and end of the program to measure changes in your strength, walking ability, and mood.
