Optimal Dosing of Locomotor Training for Stroke Recovery
This study is looking for stroke patients (ages 18-95) currently undergoing inpatient rehabilitation to understand the best way to use high-intensity gait training (walking practice) to improve movement. You would be randomly assigned to one of three groups: a moderate-intensity locomotor training program, a high-intensity locomotor training program, or a high-step count locomotor training program. Researchers will measure your balance (Berg Balance Scale), walking speed (Ten Meter Walk Test), and walking distance (Six Minute Walk Test) at the end of your rehabilitation stay (around day 13-14) to see which approach is most effective. The study aims to enroll 20 participants and its current status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning you would be randomly assigned to one of three treatment groups. The study plans to enroll 20 participants.
- What's involved
- You would participate in one of three locomotor training programs during your inpatient rehabilitation. Your balance and walking abilities will be measured at discharge (around day 13-14).
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your progress will be measured at discharge assessment (Day 13-14).

What this trial measures
- Berg Balance Scale (BBS) ScoreDischarge Assessment (Day 13-14)
The BBS is a 14-item objective assessment that static balance and fall risk in adults. Each item is rated on a scale from 0-4. The total score is the sum of responses and ranges from ranges from 0 to 56, with lower scores indicating a higher risk of falling and lower functional mobility.
- Ten Meter Walk Test (10mWT) TimeDischarge Assessment (Day 13-14)
The 10mWT is an assessment of walking speed in meters per second over a distance of 10 meters.
- Six Minute Walk Test (6MWT) DistanceDischarge Assessment (Day 13-14)
The 6MWT is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess walking endurance and aerobic capacity. Participants walk around the perimeter of a set circuit for a total of six minutes. The measure is the total distance covered in six minutes.
- Inpatient Rehabilitation Facility Patient Assessment Instrument (IRF-PAI) - Admission Quality Indicator (QI) Score: TransfersDischarge Assessment (Day 13-14)
The IRF-PAI QI score is an ordinal categorical variable measuring how much assistance a patient requires to complete the task (transfer) There are six categories (1-6) ranging from complete dependence of the patient on a helper to independent completion of tasks. A score of 1 is assigned to dependent patients, while a score of 6 represents independent completion of tasks by a patient.
- IRF-PAI - Admission QI Score: Cumulative AmbulationDischarge Assessment (Day 13-14)
The IRF-PAI QI score is an ordinal categorical variable measuring how much assistance a patient requires to complete the task (ambulation) There are six categories (1-6) ranging from complete dependence of the patient on a helper to independent completion of tasks. A score of 1 is assigned to dependent patients, while a score of 6 represents independent completion of tasks by a patient.
- IRF-PAI - Admission QI Score: Cumulative StairsDischarge Assessment (Day 13-14)
The IRF-PAI QI score is an ordinal categorical variable measuring how much assistance a patient requires to complete the task (stairs) There are six categories (1-6) ranging from complete dependence of the patient on a helper to independent completion of tasks. A score of 1 is assigned to dependent patients, while a score of 6 represents independent completion of tasks by a patient.
