Stroke remains a leading global cause of adult disabilityA topical question in stroke recovery is whether it is possible to re-open, or prolong, the spontaneous period of enhanced neuroplasticity seen after stroke. Ability to do so might lead to greater recovery. A mouse model of stroke has provided some evidence to suggest this may be possibleThe aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether moderate intensity exercise could increase neuroplasticity in people with stroke. We specifically investigated people who were several months after stroke to avoid the initial, brief, spontaneous period of enhanced neuroplasticity that emerges early after stroke
