INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The aim of this study is to demonstrate the effect of routine exercise program on neuroplasticity through histone acetylation and gene expression changes in acute stroke survivors from an epigenetic perspective and to investigate the correlation of epigenetic effects with its effects on motor function and quality of life.
Eligibility

- Participants with ischemia as the etiology of stroke
- Participants between the ages of 25-70
- Drugs that have been used for at least 1 month and up to 6 months after a cerebrovascular accident
Exclusion Criteria3

Interventions
It was planned to give the participants a routine stroke rehabilitation program consisting of 45 minutes of active, passive range of motion exercises and strengthening exercises, balance exercises, walking training and 20 minutes of bicycle ergometry, accompanied by a physiotherapist with at least 5 years of experience in stroke rehabilitation. It was planned to give passive bicycle ergometry to patients without voluntary muscle movement and muscle strength, and active bicycle ergometry to participants with voluntary muscle movement and muscle strength, with the bicycle rehabilitation. It was planned to apply the exercise program to the patients for 5 days a week and for a total of 30 sessions. It will be recommended that they continue the medical treatment they are using during the treatment program. Routine evaluations will be made by the physiatrist before the rehabilitation program starts and 2 tubes of venous blood will be taken from the patients by an experienced nurse
