Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of Graded Activity Training and Task-Oriented Training on post-stroke fatigue in patients. The study focuses on stroke survivors aged 40 to 60 who experience significant fatigue, assessing how these training interventions can improve their energy levels and overall quality of life. By addressing the bidirectional relationship between physical deconditioning and fatigue, the trial seeks to develop a more effective intervention protocol for managing post-stroke fatigue. Additionally, it will examine the impact of these interventions on mobility and gait.
