QUESTIONS Is treadmill walking with body weight support during inpatient rehabilitation detrimental to walking quality compared with assisted overground walking? Does it result in better walking capacity, perception of walking or community participation? DESIGN Analysis of secondary outcomes of a randomised trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis. ...
