Summary
This study will test if a low-intensity leg workout using blood flow restriction cuffs can improve strength and balance in stroke survivors as well as traditional high-intensity exercises. Eighty people who had an ischemic stroke 3 to 12 months ago will take part. The goal is to find a safer, easier exercise option for recovery.

low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction
What this could lead to
If this works, it could offer a gentler exercise option to help stroke survivors regain leg strength and balance.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial that hasn't started recruiting yet. Results may not apply to all stroke patients, and the blood flow restriction technique carries risks like blood clots in some people.
