Clinical Trial: Passive Limb Movement Study
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Stroke
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Passive Limb Movement Study
Brief Summary:
Stroke survivors have compromised vascular function which may contribute to secondary stroke risk, cardiovascular disease, and may limit their exercise tolerance.No studies have examined how femoral blood flow responds to both passive leg movement, a measure of microvascular function, as well as active leg contractions, a measure of the hyperemic response to exercise.Leg muscles with a reduced blood flow response to movement could be associated with decreased neuromuscular function, such as leg strength and…
