Intervention
Outcome measures
Primary outcome
Primary outcome measures are:
- Fatigue as measured by the CIS-f (Checklist Individual Strength subscale fatigue) and FSS-7 (Fatigue Severity Scale-seven item version)
Secondary outcome
Secondary outcome measures are:
- Strength as measured by handheld- dynamometer and sit-to-stand test.
- Endurance as measured by the six minute walk test (6MWT)
Background summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of a graded physical exercise program on fatigue as measured by the CIS-f and FSS-7.
Participants follow an 8-week physical training program in which strength and endurance are gradually increased according to the Dutch guideline for stroke patients.
Study objective
The hypothesis is that a graded physical exercise program in which strength and endurance are trained have a positive effect on fatigue after stroke measured with the CIS-f (Checklist Individual Strength subscale fatigue) or FSS-7 (Fatigue Severity Scale - seven item version)
Study design
Patients will be assessed at:
T0 --> enrolment (primary and secondary outcome measures)
T1 --> after 4 weeks training (primary outcome measures)
T2 --> after 8 weeks training (primary and secondary outcome measures)
Intervention
The participant will receive an 8-week physical training program in which strength and endurance gradually are increased according to the Dutch Guideline for stroke-patients.
The participant will train under supervision of a licensed physiotherapist twice a week.
