Background: For non-ambulatory stroke patients, treadmill walking with partial weight support provides the opportunity to complete more walking practice than would be possible using assisted over ground walking. Body weight support treadmill training (BWSTT) “uses overhead suspension system and harness to support a percentage of the patient’s body weight as the patient walks on a treadmill”, thereby removing weight symmetrically from the lower extremities.20 The performance of complete gait movements on a treadmill with partial body weight support as a task-oriented approach could restore the gait of non-ambulatory patients faster and with less effort for the therapists. Outcome measure: Step length, stride length, cadence, 10 meter walk test, dynamic gait index. Method: SUBJECTS: 30 diagnosed with stroke and divided in two groups: Group A (experimental group) (n=15), Group B (control group) (n=15). Study duration 3 times per week for 4 weeks. Results: Results showed that Group A showed more significant improvement than Group B.
