Gait

Among patients with radiographic knee osteoarthritis, the important difference in gait speed is between 4.1 and 6.9 meters per minute for the 20-meter walk, and between 2.9 and 6.9 meters per minute for the 400-meter walk, according to data published in Arthritis Care & Research.

High-intensity step training resulted in better improvements in walking, gait and balance confidence compared with low-intensity training, in patients with chronic stroke.

Patients with chronic stroke who participated in high-intensity step training had greater improvements in gait symmetry and walking ability compared with those who participated in low-intensity training, according to a study published in Stroke.
