Brief Summary

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

To compare the effects of low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) versus traditional resistance training on lower limb isokinetic torque and dynamic balance in ischemic stroke survivors.

Detailed Description

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

Ischemic stroke commonly results in reduced lower extremity muscle torque and impaired balance, affecting mobility and fall risk.

Traditional resistance training improves muscle function but may not be suitable for all patients due to the need for high mechanical loads.

Low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction (BFR) has emerged as an alternative that enhances muscular adaptation at lower loads. However, limited data exists on its effect on isokinetic torque and functional balance in stroke patients. This study aims to fill this gap using objective isokinetic measurements and validated balance scales.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Study group

Study group will receive low-intensity BFR resistance training

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction

Intervention Type OTHER

"Low-Intensity" BFR Means (for Quads)

It involves resistance 20-30% 1RM combined with partial arterial + full venous restriction using a cuff placed on the proximal thigh.

Control group

Control group will receive high intensity resistance training

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

High intensity resistance training

Intervention Type OTHER

High-intensity quadriceps training in stroke patients focuses on using 60-80% of 1RM to improve strength, motor unit recruitment, and functional mobility. Exercises such as loaded sit-to-stand, leg press, and step-ups are commonly used to target the quadriceps safely. Training intensity is guided by a perceived exertion of 7-9/10 while maintaining proper supervision to prevent falls. This approach enhances knee stability, gait efficiency, and overall functional independence.
