Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Exercise program design specifically for individuals with residual hemiparetic gait deficits due to stroke. Exercises are progressive, beginning with a 5 minute walk at the beginning and end of each class and gradually progressing to a 15 minute walk at the beginning and end of each class. Exercises focus on walking and are designed to improve walking ability and balance. Program includes a homework component.
Not stroke specific. This less vigorous exercise program consists of seated exercise focusing on stretching to improve general range of movement and weight exercises to strengthen the trunk, arms, and legs. There is no assigned exercise homework.
