Brief name

HiWalk—short-term mobility booster program

Usual care

Why

Maintaining mobility in the longer term after stroke can be challenging. It is hypothesised that a short-term, high-dose, booster program may assist mobility

Pragmatic trial design

What

Participants will receive HiWalk for 3 weeks (up to 3 h a day, 5 days a week, totaling 43 h). The program consists of an individually tailored motor training program (strength, balance and task training) and specific mobility practice. Embedded throughout the program is a self-management approach

Participants may continue to participate in their usual care which may or may not include motor training

Who provided

HiWalk is led by a physiotherapist and sessions are facilitated by a physiotherapist, exercise physiologist or allied health assistant/student

How

Booster sessions are completed face-to-face. Most sessions are completed as a small group (4–5 people). The assessment and weekly review are completed one-to-one between the participant and interventionist

Where

Sessions are completed in a rehabilitation gym

When and how much

Each participant receives up to 43 h of the program (up to 3 h a day, 5 days a week) over a 3-week period

Tailoring

Each activity within the program has individualized plans developed with the therapist and the participant. Each activity has pre-planned levels of difficulty and modifications to match the activity to the participant’s ability

Modifications

Modifications will be documented

How well

Fidelity checks of intervention sessions will be completed
