Accelerometer and Global Positioning System Measurement of Recovery of Community Ambulation Across the First 6 Months After Stroke: An Exploratory Prospective Study

Total volume and intensity of community ambulation did not change over the first 6 months postdischarge after stroke. However, at 6 months, survivors spent more time in long-duration ambulation bouts. Review of stroke survivors at 6 months after hospital discharge is suggested because this is when changes in community ambulation may first be observed.
