Exploring the Effectiveness of Multiple Gait Training Patterns in Improving Mobility Across Various Neurological Condition (original) (raw)
2023, International Journal of noval research and development
Objective: The objective of this systematic review is to investigate the effectiveness of multiple gait training patterns on improving mobility in individuals with various neurological conditions. Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library, for studies published from inception to September 2016. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of multiple gait training patterns on mobility outcomes in individuals with neurological conditions were considered for inclusion. Quality assessment and data extraction were performed using predetermined criteria. The outcomes of interest included gait speed, balance, functional mobility, and quality of life. Results: A total of 10 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the systematic review. The studies encompassed a diverse range of neurological conditions, including stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. Various gait training patterns, such as treadmill training, overground training, virtual reality-based training, and task-specific training, were examined across the included studies. Overall, the findings suggest that multiple gait training patterns have a positive effect on improving mobility outcomes in individuals with neurological conditions. Significant improvements were observed in gait speed, balance, functional mobility, and quality of life measures across various populations.
