Immediate Effects of Walker-Assisted Gait Training at Higher Training Speeds Comparing Conditions With and Without Body Weight Support After Stroke: A Pilot Crossover Study

Walker-assisted gait training that enables higher training speeds, particularly when combined with BWS, may contribute to immediate improvements in gait speed in patients with stroke. Reductions in affected side step time may represent one mechanism underlying this training speed-related effect.

Abstract

Walker-assisted gait training that enables higher training speeds, particularly when combined with BWS, may contribute to immediate improvements in gait speed in patients with stroke. Reductions in affected side step time may represent one mechanism underlying this training speed-related effect.
