Using a cane for one month does not improve walking or social participation in chronic stroke: An attention-controlled randomized trial

CONCLUSION: Use of a cane improved walking speed, only when participants walked with the cane. Use of cane for one month did not improve walking outcomes, when walking without the cane. People with stroke would need to continue to use the cane to maintain any benefits in walking speed.PMID:34053229 | DOI:10.1177/02692155211020864
