Methods RCT
 Mobility‐related CCT versus education or social groups
Participants 58 participants (Group 1 = 31, Group 2 = 27), mean 4.9 years post‐stroke, mean age 69.1 years, able to walk 10 m independently with or without gait aid
Interventions Intervention: mobility CCT, 15 2‐min workstations including walking, standing balance and strengthening; 50‐60 min 3 times/week for 4 weeks
Comparison: 4 social and 4 educational sessions; duration not specified, twice a week for 4 weeks
Staff:participant ratio: 3:9
Outcomes Gait speed, 6mWT, RMI, ABC, steps per day using activity monitor, PADS
Notes Repetitions and details about exercise intensity recorded each station
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Computer‐generated random numbers
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Low risk Person independent of the study matched the participants to the codes
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Unmasking occurred for 3 out of 58 participants (5%)
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk 2 lost before randomisation, 3 withdrew before post‐intervention assessment and a further 5 lost before follow‐up assessment; losses balanced across groups
 Intention‐to‐treat analysis undertaken with imputation of missing data using carry forward method
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Unclear risk No protocol available
Other bias Low risk Adequate sample size
