Physiotherapy Intervention Late After Stroke and Mobility
BMJ 304:609-613, Wade,D.T.,et al, 1992
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Intervention of an experienced physiotherapist late after stroke specifically improves mobility,albeit by a small amount,but the effects do not seem to be maintained,perhaps because there is an underlying decline in mobility in these patients.Gait speed offers a simple and sensitive measure of outcome.
