RESUMO
Objective of the study was to investigate effects of task specific circuit gait training to improve gait parameters and mobility among sub-acute and chronic stroke patients. A randomized control trial was conducted on stroke survivors of either gender being capable of standing 10 seconds and having 2-4 score on Rankin Modified Scale. Sample comprised of 30 participants randomly assigned into two groups. Training was given for a session of 40-50 minutes for 3-4 days/week for six weeks. Timed get up and go test [TUG], Cadence, Step Length and Step Width assessed measures of concern. The sample included 16 males and 14 females with mean age of 54.10 +/- 10.10 years. After six weeks, significant improvement was recorded in TUG [p=0.014]. Cadence [p=0.001], step length [p<0.001] and step width [p=0.009] were also significantly improved. Circuit gait training improves mobility and gait in stroke patients
