The intervention trial will examine the effectiveness and feasibility of integrating stroke
survivors into an existing hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation program at Novant Health in
Charlotte, NC. Stroke survivors will be recruited through hospital system providers and
physical therapists (PTs) for entry into a multidisciplinary, three-month cardiac
rehabilitation program. This program consists of three sessions per week of supervised
cardiovascular endurance and strength training, stretching, relaxation and education.
Participants will be stroke survivors, have completed formal physical and occupational
rehabilitation (if applicable), and have treating provider approval.
