Brief Summary

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

To determine whether active cycling assisted by functional electrical stimulation (FES) Is more effective than active cycling on cardiovascular fitness in post stroke hemiparesis

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Design: In a monocentric, single-blind, randomized, controlled trial, hemiparetic post stroke patients will be randomized to receive FES-induced cycling training or placebo FES cycling.

Setting: Neurologic Rehabilitation Unit Interventions: 30 minutes of active leg cycling with or without FES applied to the paretic rectus femoris of quadriceps and to the biceps femoris and semitendinosus muscles and gluteus maximus, 3 times/weeks for 8 weeks. During training, participants will be seated on a FES-Cycle (Hepha Bike, Kurage): a cyclo-ergometer (Technogym) combined with a 8 channel controlled stimulator (Motimove-8).

In addition to the assigned group treatment, subjects will perform their own standard rehabilitation program.

Participants will be evaluated before training, after training, and at 3 month follow-up visit
