Beyond Physical Capacity: Factors Associated With Real-world Walking Activity After Stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To identify homogeneous subsets of survivors of chronic stroke who share similar characteristics across several domains and test if these groups differ in real-world walking activity. We hypothesized that variables representing the domains of walking ability, psychosocial, environment, and cognition would be important contributors in differentiating real-world walking activity in survivors of chronic stroke.

Design

Cross-sectional, secondary data analysis.

Setting

University/laboratory.

Participants

A total of 283 individuals with chronic (≥6mo) stroke (N=238).

Interventions

Not applicable.

Main outcome measures

Thirteen variables representing 5 domains were included: (1) walking ability: 6-minute walk test (6MWT), self-selected speed (S
