Prediction of responders for outcome measures of Locomotor Experience Applied Post Stroke trial
Bruce H. K. Dobkin, MD, et al.
Recovery of the ability to walk is a major goal after
stroke. The Locomotor Experience Applied Post
Stroke trial randomized 408 participants 2 months
after a debilitating stroke to two interventions, treadmill
training with body-weight support plus overground
practice or home-based physical therapies that did not emphasize walking. The therapies produced
equal results for walking ability. We report
that baseline measures used as predictors of who
will respond did not differ between interventions or
in definable subgroups of participants. Younger age
(below 60 years) and better balance at onset had the
most positive predictive value. The study offers new
insights into rehabilitation outcome measurements.
