Interventions
Others(underwater treadmill gait training with water-jet resistance and underwater treadmill gait training with ankle weights) : Baseline measurements of abilities were performed prior to randomizatio
of body weight for 30 minutes. The initial speed of this program based on the study that treadmill training performed at the fastest speed that stroke patients can perform was significantly increased
