Objectives: To compare body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) to conventional over-ground gait training (COGT). Design: Randomized controlled trial. Setting: Residential rehabilitation center. Participants: Twenty subjects with chronic traumatic brain injury (TBI). Intervention: The BWSTT or COGT for 15 minutes plus 30 minutes of exercise 2 days per week, for 3 months. Main Outcome Measures: Functional Ambulation Category (FAC), Functional Reach (FR), Timed Up and Go; gait velocity, step width (BOS) and step length differential using instrumented gait mat. Results: Step width approached the norm Without between-group differences. Step length differential improved significantly more for the COGT Conclusions: Physical therapy can improve gait for patients more than 6 years post-TBL. The COGT is more effective than the BWSTT for improving gait symmetry during overground walking.
