Walking rehabilitation quantified = WALKREQU

This treatment is ideal for patients whose walk distance is greater than 300 meters (328 yards or 984 feet) or whose time of walking is greater than 20 minutes.

It is also an assessment of great sensitivity

By cons, for patients with a walk distance less than 300 meters

or the beginning of progression

the search of speed is not recommended

because the patient may lose balance and fall

 

Instead, it must take all the time to achieve

 its performance without losing balance

Speed tests are not a good indication of

 the patient's progress at this stage.

For these patients it is better to use

 the QUREWADI protocol that is more suitable
