Overview
Brief Summary
The study aims to describe the functional level of the patients who received high intensity gait training during inpatient stroke rehabilitation at discharge, three, six and twelve months after stroke. These data will determine if the observed gains from the high-intensity gait training are retained after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation.
Detailed Description
The study is a cohort-study that will have a prospective observational design. This design allows us to follow patients who presently have had a stroke and received high intensity stepping training over time. At this time little is known about the patient's functional trajectory the first 12 months after receiving high intensity stepping treatment as no study has examined long-term effects of high-intensity stepping training delivered in inpatient rehabilitation for stroke in Norway nor internationally.
