ClinConnect Summary

The Vivifrail Program is a clinical trial that is studying how physical exercise can help older adults who have been hospitalized due to an ischemic stroke, a type of stroke caused by a blockage in the blood vessels supplying the brain. The goal is to see if exercise can reduce debilitating symptoms and improve overall function in these patients. This is important because staying active can not only help with physical abilities but also improve thinking skills in older adults who may be facing challenges such as dementia or cognitive decline.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 65 years old and have been diagnosed with an ischemic stroke. You should also have a specific level of physical strength and be willing to actively engage in the program. However, if you have recently had a fracture, severe cognitive issues, or other serious health problems that prevent you from exercising, you may not be eligible. If you join the study, you can expect to take part in an exercise program designed to help you regain strength and improve your quality of life after your stroke.
