Effects of Backward Walking Training on Static Balance, Balance Confidence, and Walking Endurance of Patients with Chronic Stroke

Been done already.

If your doctor/hospital didn't do anything with this from 14 years ago or any of the following then s/he needs to be fired.  Why is your board of directors being so incompetent in not demanding new interventions from any stroke research?

Abstract: 

The objective of this study was to describe the effects of backward walking training (BWT) on static balance, balance confidence, and walking endurance in patients with chronic stroke. To this end, 35 patients with chronic stroke were randomly divided into experimental (BWT; n=17) and control (forward walking training [FWT]; n=18) groups. Both groups underwent a 30-minute session, three times per week for six weeks (18 sessions). Static balance (Balance System SD), Korean Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale (K-ABC), and Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) were assessed at baseline, after intervention, and 6 weeks after the cessation of intervention. Two-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to compare differences between and within the groups. Compared to the control group, significant improvement in static balance, balance confidence, and walking endurance was observed in the experimental group (p<.05), and the improvement was maintained at follow-ups. These results suggest that backward walking training may have a positive effect on the static balance, balance confidence, and walking capacity of patients with stroke.
