Stepping up Aerobic Exercise to Improve Health Outcomes After Stroke

Patients will be referred to the Clinic by their physiotherapist to be assessed regarding their safety and readiness to participate in aerobic training. If they are deemed to be safe and ready, an aerobic exercise prescription will be written to guide the implementation of a safe and effective training protocol. Patients deemed to be at moderate to high risk will need to be cleared for testing by a physician on the stroke service. A cardiologist will be consulted about specific concerns re cardiac status.
