Summary

This clinical trial aims to examine the effects of combining HIIT on a semi-recumbent cycle ergometer (HIIT-RCE) with conventional physiotherapy on impairments and activity limitations in early subacute stroke. We hypothesized that HIIT combined with conventional physiotherapy would be more effective than conventional physiotherapy in improving workload capacity.
