Beschreibungen/Notizen
  • In this randomized trial of two physical therapy interventions for patients with walking impairment after stroke, locomotor training on a treadmill including body-weight support was not superior to a home-exercise program supervised by a physical therapist. More than 790,000 Americans have a new or recurrent stroke yearly, 1 and two thirds of the 6.4 million survivors may have significant limitations in walking 2 and are at high risk for falls, 3 fractures, 4 and further decline in mobility. 5 Walking speed predicts the level of disability. At a walking speed of more than 0.8 m per second, full mobility in the community is likely; at a walking speed of less than 0.4 m per second, mobility is limited to the home; and at speeds of 0.4 to 0.8 m per second, mobility is limited to short walks in the community. 6 Improving . . .
