Damned useless assessments again rather than protocols that deliver recovery.
I was never tested for cardiovascular fitness while in hospital.
3 years post stroke at a physical I had a resting heart rate of 54 at age 53, level of an athlete. My doctor asked what exercises I was doing, 'I've done no exercises for the past 3 years'.

Abstract: Study determined the most appropriate cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in patients with stroke and examined the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and functional status of the patients. Carefully selected CPET can be safely used to determine the risk of cardiovascular disease and to prescribe exercise program in stroke rehabilitation. Two CPETs using treadmill and bicycle ergometer protocols were performed on 43 patients. In addition, 22 healthy age- and gender-matched subjects (controls) were included in the study to compare CPET and pulmonary function test parameters. The main outcome measure was peak oxygen consumption (VO2peak). Patients were also evaluated according to Brunnstrom motor staging, Modified Ashworth Scale, Berg Balance Scale, and Functional Independence Measure. In total, 38 patients reached higher VO2peak values with the treadmill test compared to the bicycle test. The mean VO2peak reached at treadmill CPET was 62 percent of the control group where mean VO2peak reached at bicycle was 76 percent of the control group. No significant correlation was found between Brunnstrom staging, spasticity, Berg Balance Scale, and VO2peak. The results indicate that CPET can be performed safely in stroke patients when appropriate protocol was selected, and that treadmill was more appropriate to determine cardiorespiratory fitness in this study population. The prevailing research themes demonstrated the growing utility of artificial intelligence algorithms for stroke evaluation.
