Methods Design: randomised trial of resistance <strong>training</strong> plus usual care versus usual care - during<br />
usual care<br />
Randomisation: unknown<br />
Allocation concealment: unknown<br />
Blinding: outcome assessor - unclear<br />
Intention-to-treat: no<br />
Measurements: end of intervention (4 to 8 weeks) and 2-month follow-up<br />
Withdrawals: unclear: 101/177 <strong>patients</strong> lost to follow-up across the control and both<br />
intervention groups; 54 <strong>patients</strong> completed the control versus strength <strong>training</strong> comparison;<br />
estimated dropouts approximately 60<br />
1 reason given <strong>for</strong> dropouts was discharge be<strong>for</strong>e end of the study<br />
Participants Randomised: 54 participants<br />
Intervention: 28 participants; 11 males and 17 females; age 55.6 years; < 3 months post<strong>stroke</strong><br />
Control: 26 participants; 15 males and 11 females; age 56.9 years; < 3 months post-<strong>stroke</strong><br />
All participants had hemiparesis<br />
Inclusion criteria: hemiparesis arising from cerebrovascular accident secondary to thrombosis;<br />
embolus or haemorrhage; able to follow verbal or demonstrated directions; extend<br />
the involved lower limb against a load of 1.1 kg; independent ambulation<br />
Exclusion criteria: aetiology of aneurysm or trauma<br />
Interventions Intervention: progressive resistive exercise once per day <strong>for</strong> 4 to 8 weeks; extension of the<br />
affected lower limb from 90º to full-knee extension whilst in the supine position on an<br />
Elgin table (machine weights), 5 repetitions at 50% maximum weight, and 10 at maximum<br />
Control: usual care: conventional functional <strong>training</strong>, including stretching, 4 to 8 weeks<br />
until discharge<br />
Setting: rehabilitation centre<br />
Outcomes Included outcomes: leg strength (10 repetition maximum) lacked variance measures number<br />
of participants able to per<strong>for</strong>m 10 activities of daily living<br />
