This research project intended to compare the effects of gait training with body weight support (BWS) and with no body weight support (no-BWS) on clinical outcome measures for patients with stroke.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014One hundred subjects with stroke were randomized to receive one of two treatments while walking on a treadmill: 50 subjects were trained to walk with up to 40% of their body weight supported by a BWS system with overhead harness (BWS group), and the other 50 subjects were trained to walk bearing full weight on their lower extremities (no-BWS group). Treatment outcomes were assessed on the basis of functional balance, motor recovery, overground walking speed, and overground walking endurance.\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Results<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014After a 6-week training period, the BWS group scored significantly higher than the no-BWS group for functional balance (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.001), motor recovery (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.001), overground walking speed (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.029), and overground walking endurance (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.018). The follow-up evaluation, 3 months after training, revealed that the BWS group continued to have significantly higher scores for overground walking speed (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.006) and motor recovery (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            =0.039).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            \u2014Retraining gait in patients with stroke while a percentage of their body weight was supported resulted in better walking abilities than gait training while the patients were bearing their full weight.
