Effects of a 12-Week Moderate-to-High Intensity Strength Training Program on the Gait Parameters and Their Variability of Stroke Survivors
A moderate-to-high intensity strengthening program, even without direct gait training, can improve walking speed and reduce movement variability in chronic stroke survivors. The intervention predominantly influenced the spatial parameters, with modest changes in the temporal aspects, suggesting that enhanced force production and control primarily affect step execution while preserving temporal gait patterns.
