Study characteristics
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
