Methods | RCT Potential participants assessed for eligibility Consented to the study obtained Baseline measurements taken Allocation was stratified by baseline scores for unilateral visual spatial neglect 6 weeks of intervention Postintervention and follow‐up measurements taken |

Participants | 109 participants in 3 groups (only 2 groups met the criteria for this Cochrane Review) CPT group: n = 38; mean age 66.37 (SD 13.7) years; 55% males; mean 36.76 (SD 22.4) days poststroke CPT + CPT group: n = 35; mean age 67.46 (SD 11.3) years; 63% males; mean 32.43 (SD 21.29) days poststroke Participants were initially seen as inpatients, but intervention was completed as outpatients, if they were discharged before the end of the intervention period 4 clinical settings in the UK |

Interventions | Intervention was CPT for the lower limbs. There was no prespecified schedule for routine CPT. Additional CPT was provided for up to 1 hour, 4 days per week, for 6 weeks. The study authors reported that the CPT group received a mean of 9.2 (SD 6.9) cumulative hours of treatment and the CPT + CPT group received a mean of 23 (SD 10.4) cumulative hours of treatment. | |
Outcomes | Walking speed (metres per second) Ability to walk at ≥ 0.8 metres per second Torque around the paretic knee Modified RMI Temporal‐spatial gait parameters EuroQol Measurements were taken at baseline, end of intervention, and 12‐week follow‐up |
