Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: to investigate the efficacy of early exercise in patients with moderate to severe stroke regarding functional outcome and walking ability.

Methods: Patients with medium to severe stroke (NHISS \>7) were recruited 24 - 48 hours after stroke onset from two stroke units in Sweden. Both groups received usual care. The intervention group received even 20 minutes bed-cycling 5 days per week with a maximum of 15 sessions. Functional outcome was measured with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Barthel index and walking with the 6-minute walking test (6MWT). Measurements were performed pre- and post-intervention (3 weeks), and at 3-months follow-up.
