Implication

Systematic review demonstrates significant gains in gait speed and balance for stroke patients through task-oriented training, suggesting its value in rehabilitation.

Key Points

This research aims to assess the effects of task-oriented training on gait outcomes and balance in stroke survivors.
Comprehensive searches conducted in multiple databases including PubMed and Scopus.
Eligible studies included those evaluating task-oriented training in stroke patients.
Methodological quality assessed using the PEDro scale.
A random-effects meta-analysis estimated pooled effect sizes.
Seventeen randomized controlled trials with 888 participants were included.
TOT significantly improved gait speed (SMD = 0.48) and gait endurance (SMD = 0.49).
Berg Balance Scale showed improvement (SMD = 0.45), and timed up and go test performance also improved (SMD = −0.28).
Subgroup analysis revealed variations in the effects based on stroke phase.
