OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of gait training with @entity1053 ( @entity1053 ) on a treadmill versus overground in individuals with @entity64 . DESIGN: Randomized controlled trial. SETTING: University research laboratory. @entity1 : Individuals (N=28) with @entity64 (>6mo from the @entity64 event). INTERVENTIONS: @entity1 were randomly assigned to receive gait training with @entity1053 on a treadmill (n=14) or overground (n=14) 3 times a week for 6 weeks. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Gait speed measured using the 10-meter walk test, endurance measured using the 6-minute walk test, functional independence measured using the motor domain of the @entity15467 , lower limb recovery measured using the lower extremity domain of the Fugl-Meyer assessment, step length, step length symmetry ratio, and single-limb support duration. Measurements were obtained at baseline, immediately after the training session, and 6 weeks after the training session. RESULTS: At 1 week after the last training session, both groups improved in all outcome measures except paretic step length and step length symmetry ratio, which were improved only in the overground group (P=.01 and P=.01, respectively). At 6 weeks after the last training session, all improvements remained and the treadmill group also improved paretic step length (P<.001) but not step length symmetry ratio (P>.05). CONCLUSIONS: Individuals with @entity64 equally improve gait speed and other gait parameters after 18 sessions of @entity1053 gait training on either a treadmill or overground. Only the overground group improved step length symmetry ratio, suggesting a role of integrating overground walking into @entity1053 interventions poststroke.
