Walking Recovery After Stroke: Long-Term Outcomes and the Role of High-Dose Motor Training

Walking Recovery After Stroke: Long-Term Outcomes and the Role of High-Dose Motor Training

Date: Tues 20th Oct 2026

Time: 6:00pm - 7:00pm - Sydney, Australia (AEDT), 8:00am - 9:00am (UK time)

Cost: Free

Presenter: Assoc Prof Kate Scrivener

Neurological physiotherapist and researcher whose work focuses on improving walking recovery and long-term outcomes after stroke. She leads clinical trials and implementation studies that develop, evaluate and translate evidence-based rehabilitation interventions into practice, with a particular interest in high-dose motor training and community support after stroke

Learning outcomes: By the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

• Describe the current evidence for high-dose, task-specific walking training to improve mobility and walking outcomes after stroke.

• Identify factors that influence long-term walking recovery, including adherence, self-efficacy and ongoing participation in rehabilitation.

• Apply key lessons from clinical trials and implementation research to support the delivery of effective, evidence-based walking rehabilitation in clinical practice.

Description:

Walking recovery remains a key goal after stroke, yet long-term mobility limitations are common. Drawing on findings from the HiWalk trial, this presentation will explore the role of high-dose, task-specific motor training in improving walking outcomes after stroke. Kate will discuss factors that influence long-term recovery, including adherence and self-efficacy, and share practical lessons from implementation research to support the translation of evidence-based walking rehabilitation into everyday clinical practice.
