Summary
This trial is testing whether aerobic exercise can help people recover movement after a stroke, and whether it is cost-effective.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18-85 who had a stroke at least 6 months ago, can walk over 20 meters with minimal help, and have moderate arm movement issues. It's not for those recently hospitalized for heart problems, arrhythmia, severe valve disease, lung clots or recent anti-spasticity treatments.
What is being tested?
The study tests if forced aerobic exercise helps stroke survivors recover arm and leg function better than standard therapy. It also assesses the cost-effectiveness of these exercises compared to repetitive task practice for upper extremities.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical risks associated with physical activity such as muscle soreness or strain. Since participants have had strokes, there's an increased risk of cardiovascular events during exercise.

It's been difficult to get in touch with Dr. Linder or anyone at her office. I called and left my name and number on two consecutive days but wasn't able to get a call back. I'm guessing she might have sold her practice to Forum Health, but I haven't been able to reach them either.
