Study characteristics
Methods	RCT Participants deemed eligible for the study by applying the selection criteria. They then undertook baseline assessments before randomisation
Participants	144 participants in 2 study arms Mean age 76.5 years; age range 60–94 years; 62 (54%) females 30‐minute group: n = 60 60‐minute group: n = 54 Stroke unit setting in Canterbury, UK
Interventions	Intervention was physiotherapy based on Bobath principles 30 minutes per day or 60 minutes per day Although not explicitly stated, it is assumed that the treatment was 5 days per week. It appears that duration of treatment was not controlled (i.e. participants continued to receive the treatment to which they were allocated for the duration of their inpatient stay)
Outcomes	POR Scale (gross body movement and underlying function) Functional reach Step:time ratio 5‐metre timed walk Timed sit‐to‐stand HADS Recovery Locus of Control Scale Measurements were taken at baseline, 6 weeks, and 6 months
