About this trial

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.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

• First-ever ischemic stroke (3-12 months post-stroke)

Aged 30-40 years

Can walk independently or with an aid

Medically stable and able to follow instructions

Disqualifiers

•Hemorrhagic stroke

Deep vein thrombosis or peripheral vascular disease

Orthopedic conditions affecting lower limb

Severe cognitive impairment or uncontrolled hypertension

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction
Other intervention
"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.
High intensity resistance training
Other intervention
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.
