Our Current Study

December 2025

We are currently recruiting stroke survivors with aphasia for a 12- week exercise study

Who can Join?

You can take part if you:

• had a stroke and now have aphasia (language problems)

• had your last stroke 6 or more months ago

• spoke English before your stroke

• can walk on your own (using a single-point cane is OK)

• can safely do regular exercise


Goal

The goal of this study is to learn how different kinds of exercise can help people with post-stroke aphasia improve their fitness, motor, cognitive, and language abilities.  

The study includes testing before and after the exercise program, and group exercise classes three times a week for 12 weeks. Some sessions will be in person, and some will be on Zoom.
