The Impact of Gait Training on the Metabolic Costs of Walking and Cardiorespiratory Capacity in Persons Post Stroke
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating ESTT and Traditional outpatient for Acute Stroke. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This will be a randomized, matched-group study to compare the cardiopulmonary / metabolic benefits for persons post stroke that learn to walk utilizing early treadmill training post-acute stroke to persons post stroke that learn to walk utilizing non-treadmill based gait training during the same time period. Participants (n=30) will be adults who have completed acute rehabilitation following a stroke. Random assignment will be to either the ESTT or traditional gait training protocol during the outpatient rehabilitation phase. 1. Group A: Traditional outpatient therapy (n = 15) 2. Group B: Treadmill training (ESTT) outpatient therapy (n = 15)

Timeline
Interventions
ESTT is early-standardized task-specific training is a treadmill and over ground gait protocol for gait recovery after stroke
Traditional physical therapy includes standard of care for gait recovery after stroke such as pre-gait activities, standing balance activities, strengthening, walking with assistive devices.
