Walk n’ Watch
About the Study
- Walk n’ Watch is a multi-site study across Canada. It has each site start in “Usual Care” with participants consented to collecting outcome measures. Each site will randomly switch over to Enhanced Usual Care (best practice implementation) where all physical therapists at the site will be educated on delivery of best practice for locomotor retraining.
- The specific therapy activities are at the discretion of the physical therapist; however, physical therapists must work towards thirty minutes of weight-bearing/stepping activity at greater than forty percent heart rate reserve.
- Participants will continue to be consented to collecting outcome measures. Additionally, participants will be given and trained to use activity watches to monitor their own progress.
