Testing Adaptive Physical Activity in Stroke
This study is currenly Recruiting patients.
Sponsored by:
Baltimore VA Medical Center
Purpose
"Testing Adaptive Physical Activity in Stroke" tests the idea that adaptive physical
activity (APA) will improve fitness, balance and walking function, daily step activity, and
outcomes related to quality of life in individuals with chronic stroke. Adaptive physical
activity is an exercise model that combines aerobic exercise with balance and gait training
in a socially reinforcing group setting. Individualized homework assignments encourage
integration of exercise into daily life routines. Our specific aims are:
1. to determine whether APA improves cardiovascular fitness and metabolic health
2. to measure the effects of APA on gait and balance, ambulatory activity, and ADL
function
3. to determine whether APA affects self-reported outcomes related to self-efficacy,
fatigue, and stroke-specific quality of life
