The effects of lower extremity cross-training on gait and balance in stroke patients: a double-blinded randomised controlled trial.

CONCLUSIONS: Gait and balance improved in hemiplegic stroke patients who participated in cross-training, regardless of the intervention applied to the affected or unaffected side.
CLINICAL REHABILITATION IMPACT: In clinical settings, for patients who experience difficulties with direct interventions on the affected side, we propose indirect interventions to improve gait and balance.
