Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine if treadmill training with body weight-support BWST is more effective at improving walking in individuals post-stroke than a resisted leg-cycling exercise program In addition we want to determine if training programs that combine leg strength training to treadmill walking provide an additional benefit to post-stroke walking outcomes
Detailed Description:
Impaired walking ability is a hallmark residual deficit that contributes to post-stroke walking disability Impairment in lower extremity muscle strength is a significant contributor to decreased walking speed after stroke No studies have combined task-specific locomotor training in combination with lower extremity strength training programs designed to improve post-stroke walking outcomes
Participants will include individuals who are ambulatory but walk slower than 10 msec and are at least 6 months post unilateral stroke
Participants are stratified by initial comfortable walking speed moderate 05 msec severe 05 msec and randomized to one of four exercise pairs 1 body-weight supported treadmill training BWST and locomotor-based strength training resistive cycling task LBST 2 BWST and LE muscle-specific strength training MSST 3 BWST and upper extremity ergometry SHAM and 4 LBST and SHAM Training will occur 4 times per week for 6 weeks 24 total sessions Exercise type in each exercise pair is alternated daily
Primary outcomes include comfortable and fast overground walking speed and distance walked in 6-minutes measured at baseline after 12 and 24 treatment sessions and at a 6-month follow-up
