Enhancing Physical Therapy Best Practice for Improving Walking After Stroke
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 12 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The aim of this study is to assess the effect of implementing best practices into current stroke rehabilitation physical therapy on walking outcomes. Participants will also be provided an activity monitor to help them track and target their walking practice to determine if this can improve walking ability.
