Overview

Randomized controlled trial shows HIIT improves exercise capacity and reduces disability in acute stroke patients, indicating effective rehabilitation strategies.

Key Points

  • HIIT significantly improved exercise capacity by an average of 17.7 W in acute stroke patients compared to SHAM.
  • Patients in the HIIT group showed enhanced walking ability with a mean increase of 126.8 m on the 6MWT after training.
  • A reduction in disability level was observed in the HIIT group, with a mean change of -0.7 points on the mRS scale.
  • The findings suggest that combining HIIT with physiotherapy can maximize recovery early post-stroke.
