Summary

This study looked at whether raising the legs (elevated leg positioning) is safe and doable for people who had a moderate stroke within the last 24 hours. Fifty adults took part to see if they could follow the leg-raising routine and if it caused any side effects. The goal was to gather early information to help design a larger, more definitive trial.
