Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
All mobility focussed rehabilitation sessions will utilise the Implicit Learning Approach (ILA), as usual care. This includes rehabilitation (delivered by a physiotherapist, occupational therapist or therapy assistant) that focusses on sitting, sit to stand, standing, stepping, transfers and walking. The content of therapy will be based on the treatment guidelines and intervention manual - and primarily involves changing the quantity and focus of attention of instructions and feedback. As this is a clinically grounded, pragmatic trial, therapists will have freedom to tailor the specific content of each treatment session to patient need, whilst remaining true to the ILA.
