Summary

Background: Aerobic exercise training has favorable effects on quality of life, motor recovery, and aerobic endurance after stroke. Objectives: In this study, the investigators aimed to explore the effects of anti-gravity treadmill gait training and underwater walking therapy on cardiorespiratory fitness in stroke survivors.

Detailed description

Methods: Seventy patients with a history of stroke were admitted to our center between July 2017 and January 2018. Subjects who participated in the study were randomly assigned to anti-gravity treadmill training, underwater walking therapy, and control group. Investigators examined the aerobic capacity of participants by using the 6-minute walk test and cycle ergometer testing before starting the treatment along with a one-month follow-up. The patient's balance was examined by using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS).
