Extended, progressive physical therapy aids stroke survivors mobility

But Duncan says it's challenging to implement this type of program. "Who's going to pay for it? And how do we create community-based models of exercise so that patients who have had a stroke can accept responsibility for continuing to exercise after stroke?"

Researchers acknowledge that the study consisted of a small number of participants and the data may not be applicable to all stroke rehabilitation. Duncan suggests that future studies focus on determining whether people could do similar exercise programs without therapist supervision, and if the benefits are sustained or further improve if continued beyond 12 weeks.
