Treadmill Training With Partial Body Weight Support Compared With Physiotherapy in Nonambulatory Hemiparetic Patients

Abstract

Treadmill training offers the advantages of task-oriented training with numerous repetitions of a supervised gait pattern. It proved powerful in gait restoration of nonambulatory patients with chronic hemiparesis. Treadmill training could therefore become an adjunctive tool to regain walking ability in a shorter period of time.
