Research Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate behavioral changes of step activity in persons living in the community with stroke of greater than 6 months in duration. The results included properties of random allocation method, interventional protocol of interval walking, reliability and minimum detectable change of outcome variables on ambulatory activity, and comparisons with external controls related to the elderly. The Crossover randomized controlled trial revealed the effects of an additional walking intervention to outpatient physical therapy on the amount of daily ambulatory activity late after stroke.
