Brief Summary:
Cardiac rehabilitation is the standard-of-care treatment option for patients with cardiovascular disease and has been shown to improve many aspects critical to patient recovery. Investigators believe that individuals who have had a stroke need to be treated similarly. Investigators will study the effects of a comprehensive modified cardiac rehabilitation program to determine if it can improve some of the physical and psychosocial problems common in survivors of stroke with and without depression.
Detailed Description:
Cardiac rehabilitation is a mandated, standard-of-care treatment for patients following cardiac events (e.g., heart attack, angioplasty, cardiac bypass). Cardiac rehabilitation is designed to enhance recovery via progressive exercise and is shown to improve overall physical, cognitive and psychosocial function. Disappointingly, despite sharing common etiology and post-event risk factors, stroke is not a condition that qualifies survivors for cardiac rehabilitation and few clinical trials that have directly investigated the impact of a comprehensive modified cardiac rehabilitation program on physical and psychosocial function in chronic survivors of stroke. Moreover, depression is the most common neuropsychiatric manifestation following stroke, and subjects with post-stroke depression (PSD) are historically excluded from rehabilitation clinical trials. Consequently, data describing the effects of a cardiac rehabilitation programs on physical and psychosocial function in cohorts with PSD is lacking. The purpose of this project is to examine the effects of Physical Capacity training for ChroniC stroke - Building Aerobic capacity and Muscle Strength (PC3-BAMS), a 12-week modified cardiac rehabilitation program, on physical and psychosocial function in community-dwelling survivors of stroke with and without post-stroke depression (PSD).
