Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Timing and Coordination
Timing and Coordination
This intervention is based on progressively difficult stepping and walking patterns that promote the timing and coordination of stepping within the gait cycle. Small-group 60-minute classes twice weekly for 12 weeks.
Aerobic Walking
Aerobic Walking
Outdoor walking with progressive increases in exercise intensity. Small-group 60-minute classes twice weekly for 12 weeks.
Stretching and Relaxation
Stretching and Relaxation
Full-body stretching, range-of-motion exercises, and relaxation techniques. No specific gait training. Small-group 60-minute classes twice weekly for 12 weeks.
