SRP-CROSS Trial Summary

This trial will study if cardiac rehab can help stroke patients recover better and reduce their risk of hospital readmission, recurrent stroke, and death.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for stroke survivors who are 18 or older, can follow commands and communicate discomfort, have been admitted to a rehab facility post-stroke, and cleared by a cardiologist. They must be able to stand and walk at least 10 feet with assistance if needed. Those with certain other brain conditions or medical issues that prevent participation in the study, unable to meet study requirements, non-English speakers, or diagnosed beyond 45 days post-stroke are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?

What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed for cardiac rehabilitation programs in this summary, such interventions may include general risks like muscle soreness or fatigue from exercise. The program should be tailored to each patient's abilities following their stroke.
