Summary

The overall aim of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of a study protocol for a future stepped wedge cluster randomized clinical trial (c-RCT) that will investigate the effects of an innovative KT intervention on 1) walking capacity and independence in ADL in patients undergoing rehabilitation after stroke (patient outcomes); and 2) clinicians' practice (i.e. use of 4 evidence-based stroke rehabilitation interventions: motor imagery/mental practice, rhythmic auditory stimulation gait therapy, task oriented training including fitness and mobility exercises and aerobic training) (provider outcome) aimed at improving walking capacity. The specific objectives are: 1) To evaluate the feasibility (effectiveness of clinician recruitment strategies, extent of losses to follow-up across sites, and data analysis plans) of the study protocol in terms of methodology (stepped wedge design is an innovative methodology); 2) To estimate intervention effect sizes on study outcomes (patient and clinician); 3) To evaluate the secondary outcome (clinicians' use of the 4 interventions) with regard to reliability and validity.
