| Abstract: | Background It has been reported that following rehabilitation, only 7% of stroke survivors are able to walk at a level commensurate with
community participation. Previous research indicates that treadmill and overground walking training can improve walking capacity
in people living in the community after stroke. The main objectives of the AMBULATE trial are to determine (i) whether a 4-month
treadmill walking program is more effective than a 2-month program, compared to control, in improving walking capacity, health
and community participation and (ii) the "threshold" walking speed that results in sufficient walking capacity that makes
walking self-sustaining. |
