Very early treadmill exercise facilitates neuroprotection and functional recovery following cerebral ischemia in rats.

A rat model study found that initiating treadmill exercise very early after cerebral ischemia promoted neuroprotection and supported functional recovery. The research, published in Behavioural Brain Research, suggests that the timing of post-stroke exercise may play a critical role in maximizing neurological outcomes. These findings have potential implications for physical therapists designing early mobilization protocols for stroke rehabilitation.
