Title: | Gait training strategies to optimize walking ability in people with stroke: A synthesis of the evidence | Authors: | Eng J.J. PEI-FANG TANG |
Issue Date: | 2007 | Journal Volume: | 7 | Journal Issue: | 10 | Start page/Pages: | 1417-1436 | Source: | Expert Review of Neurotherapeutics | Abstract: | Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability. Impairments resulting from stroke lead to persistent difficulties with walking and, subsequently, improved walking ability is one of the highest priorities for people living with a stroke. In addition, walking ability has important health implications in providing protective effects against secondary complications common after a stroke such as heart disease or osteoporosis. This paper systematically reviews common gait training strategies (neurodevelopmental techniques, muscle strengthening, treadmill training and intensive mobility exercises) to improve walking ability. The results (descriptive summaries as well as pooled effect sizes) from randomized controlled trials are presented and implications for optimal gait training strategies are discussed. Novel and emerging gait training strategies are highlighted and research directions proposed to enable the optimal recovery and maintenance of walking ability. ? 2007 Future Drugs Ltd. |
