Methods | RCT Mobility CCT versus usual care therapy |
|
Participants | 20 participants (intervention = 10, comparison = 10), mean time since stroke 30.0 days, mean age 65.6, score 3 or 4 on Functional Ambulation Classification (able to walk with no more than 1 person assisting), less than 3 months post‐stroke | |
Interventions | Intervention: mobility‐related CCT, including trunk exercises, active sitting practice, sit‐to‐stand practice, standing and walking practice, aerobic exercise and strength training; 90 min/per day, 5 days/week for 4 weeks Comparison: usual care physiotherapy provided in 2 x 30‐min sessions, 5 x per week for 4 weeks. Content based on neurodevelopmental approach and provided in one‐to‐one therapy sessions Staff:participant ratio: at least 2 participants to 1 therapist |
