Bill Andrews, PT, EdD, NCS, an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy Education, has co-authored an article published in the latest issue of the Journal of Physical Therapy Science.
The article, co-authored with colleagues from the University of Connecticut, is titled “Minimal Clinically Important Difference for Comfortable Speed as a Measure of Gait Performance in Patients Undergoing Inpatient Rehabilitation after Stroke.” These researchers found that for these patients, a change in comfortable gait speed of 0.13 meters/second is clinically important given the assistance they require for ambulation.
