Improving gait after stroke – treadmill or walking; quantity or quality

TL;DRAbstract

The main aim with he present study was to evaluate treadmill training versus walking outdoor\nin order to improve quality aspects like step length, step width, cadence and quantitative\naspects like endurance, walking speed and distance in walking. A secondary aim was to\nevaluate factors that might be influential in retrieving walking capacity.\nThe results indicate that treadmill walking achieved improved function in less time and regarding\nbilateral step length with higher degree of symmetrical use. The treadmill group gained increase in\nwalking speed and distance, equally long and longer step length bilaterally in less time than the\noutdoor walking class supports the notion exercises on a treadmill walking is an effective and\nimportant tool in rehabilitation. The patients were well past the acute period of time after stroke, the\nfact that both treadmill and walking outdoors did improve in functional activities supports the\nimportance of “booster doses” of rehabilitation in or
