Summary
This completed study looked at 341 Turkish patients with chronic stroke to measure how far they could walk in 6 minutes. The goal was to establish reference values for walking endurance and find out what factors influence walking distance. Participants were between 18 and 80 years old, had their first stroke at least 6 months ago, and could walk with minimal or no help.
