A Knowledge Translation Intervention Designed and Implemented by a Knowledge Broker Improved Documented Use of Gait Speed: A Mixed-Methods Study

Abstract

The KB, with supervisor support, successfully collaborated with the PTs to tailor an intervention to address local barriers to consistently use the 4-meter walk test. The PTs significantly improved the documented use of gait speed following the intervention. The PTs reported that the intervention facilitated outcome measure use although barriers to using gait speed remained.
