In an unpublished study of post-stroke patients, Dr. Bastian and collaborators showed that four weeks of split-belt treadmill training led to improved walking gait for three months.
In a preliminary study he conducted in 22 post-stroke patients using error-type training, he found 15 consecutive days of intense treatment yielded as much improvement as what patients got from intense conventional treadmill training two to three times a week in 10 or more weeks.
