Effects of maximal speed locomotor training on spatiotemporal gait changes in individuals with chronic stroke: A secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Abstract

Objective To investigate longitudinal changes in spatiotemporal gait parameters after maximal versus moderate speed locomotor training in chronic stroke, by comparing short-burst high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity aerobic training (MAT). Compared to MAT, short-burst HIIT was hypothesized to exhibit greater improvement in non-paretic step length.
