Gait outcomes after additional backward walking training in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of additional backward walking training on gait outcome of patients post stroke.

Design: Randomized controlled trial.

Setting: Medical centre.

Effectiveness of modified constraint-induced movement therapy on upper limb function in stroke subjects.

Background And Purpose: Of all stroke survivors, more than 50% are left with motor disabilities. Impairment of upper limb movement is a common motor disability. Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is an intervention which has been used for the treatment of upper extremity motor disabilities in stroke patients.
