Comparative effects of overground and treadmill gait training on post-stroke quality of life and walking performance
Both OGT and TGT significantly improved QoL and walking capacity among stroke survivors, with no superior effect observed between modalities. However, neither intervention significantly enhanced walking speed. These findings suggest that both training approaches are equally beneficial in improving endurance and overall well-being post-stroke, though additional strategies may be needed to target gait speed.
