Metabolic cost of overground gait in younger stroke patients and healthy controls

Article Abstract:

Study was conducted to examine the physiological cost of overground walking in younger stroke patients prior to discharge from the inpatient phase of their rehabilitation. The high metabolic cost of walking suggests that, even for younger stroke patients, early rehabilitation should consider aerobic evaluation and training for optimizing functional independence.
