Twelve additional weeks of treadmill training in this group resulted in a further
increase in peak walking time of 49% _+ 53%.
Patients in the strength training program had an
increase in peak walking time of 30% + 48% after 12
weeks, but the change in peak walking time in this
group tended to be less than that in the treadmill trained
group (p = 0.07). The additional 12 weeks
of treadmill training in patients who completed
strength training resulted in an increased peak
treadmill walking time as compared with values
obtained after the first 12 weeks by 54% _+ 25%
(p < 0.05) (Table 1).
