Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults who have had a stroke at least 6 months ago. Participants will help researchers understand how blood flow affects muscle fatigue during exercise and try a simple non-invasive treatment to improve blood flow.

About This Trial
The muscles of stroke survivors can fatigue faster compared to muscles in people who have not had a stroke, which can limit how long a person with stroke can perform tasks such as walking. This study will examine how blood flow is regulated to the exercising leg muscle post-stroke, because if the muscle does not receive enough blood flow it will become fatigued. Finally, the investigators will use…
