Understanding factors contributing to participant satisfaction in stroke walking recovery clinical trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals with stroke face a distinct set of challenges, barriers and facilitators that need to be understood to streamline efficacy of stroke clinical trials and improve participant retention.
