Summary

This study tested whether a nature-based walking program called GREEN Walk can improve quality of life for people who have had a stroke. Eleven chronic stroke survivors took part in 60-minute sessions walking on grass, slopes, and uneven ground to mimic real-world movement. Researchers measured changes in physical ability, mood, and social participation before and after the program.
