Enhanced life-role participation in response to comprehensive gait training in chronic-stroke survivors

They don't talk about spasticity, so I wonder if any of the participants had that problem.
My gait is still screwed up due to spasticity.

Abstract: Study investigated whether intensive gait therapy can produce improvements in life-role participation for chronic-stroke survivors. A secondary analysis was conducted of data for a 44-member cohort of stroke survivors from a clinical gait-training trial for subjects who were at least 6 months post stroke. Gait-training interventions included functional neuromuscular stimulation, body-weight supported treadmill training, over-ground gait training and exercise for 1.5 hours per day, 4 days a week, for 12 weeks. Outcome measures included the Tinetti Gait for gait impairment, the Functional Independence Measure (FIM) for function, and the Stroke Impact Scale subscale of life-role participation (SIS part), and Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique (CHART) for life-role participation. Analysis included Wilcoxon signed rank test and polytomous universal regression model. Results showed that gait interventions produced significant improvement in CHART, SIS part, FIM, and Tinetti Gait scores. Age, gender and time since stroke did not predict response to treatment. The findings suggest that significant change in life-role participation is possible in the chronic phase after stroke in response to intensive gait training Time since stroke and age did not prevent recovery of life-role participation.
