Key Points

To assess the effects of task-oriented treadmill training on gait function, balance ability, and functional activities in patients with subacute stroke.
Randomized controlled trial involving 20 subacute stroke patients allocated to an experimental group (n=10) or a control group (n=10).
Both experimental and control cohorts received 30 minutes of standard physical therapy.
The trial evaluated functional activity, balance ability, and gait improvements following task-oriented treadmill training compared to control therapy.
Specific between-group effect sizes, quantitative outcome measures, and p-values were not reported in the provided abstract text.
