First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study looks at why stroke survivors' leg muscles get tired faster than normal. Researchers will measure blood flow to the leg during exercise and test a safe, non-invasive technique called ischemic conditioning to see if it can improve blood flow and reduce muscle fatigue. The study involves 40 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago.
