NCT ID: NCT06185023 Phase: NA Status: COMPLETED Enrollment: 12 Completion: 2026-01-15
Conditions
Aphasia, Acquired, Aphasia, Aphasia, Fluent, Aphasia Non Fluent
Interventions
Low-intensity physical exercise, High-intensity physical exercise
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to establish the feasibility and fidelity of a high-intensity exercise program for individuals with post-stroke aphasia. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is it feasible for stroke survivors with aphasia to participate in a long in-person physical exercise program?
- Does participation in a physical exercise program lead to physical fitness, cognitive, language and/or psychological changes?
Participants can take part in two different physical exercise interventions:
- Low intensity intervention (control intervention);
- High-intensity physical exercise intervention (target intervention).
Primary Outcome
Change on the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) - Aphasia Quotient
