Tailoring interval training in stroke rehabilitation: The role of peak velocity.
Article in Journal of rehabilitation research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Stroke rehabilitation demands innovative approaches to address the diverse physical limitations and functional goals of stroke survivors. Traditional interval training paradigms, such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and sprint interval training (SIT), often fall short of meeting the specific needs of this population due to their reliance on sustained or maximal efforts. Peak velocity interval training (PVIT) on the other hand, is an adaptable protocol tailored to optimize gait recovery in stroke survivors. PVIT emphasizes achieving individualized peak walking velocities during short, structured intervals, ensuring safe and effective intensity modulation across a range of functional abilities. This approach incorporates a 2-minute ramp-up phase to facilitate a gradual and safe progression to peak velocity, followed by a brief peak-effort phase and controlled recovery. The protocol is designed to accommodate stroke-specific challenges, including cardiovascular limitations, neuromuscular impairments, and fatigue. PVIT not only prioritizes safety and feasibility but also aligns with the principles of task-specific rehabilitation, focusing on improving walking speed, endurance, and overground functionality. In this manuscript, we present the rationale, structure, and implementation of the PVIT protocol, highlighting its distinctions from HIIT and SIT. We detail how PVIT addresses the physiological and practical limitations of stroke survivors while optimizing training outcomes. This work aims to redefine interval training for stroke gait training, offering practitioners a safe, scalable, and evidence-based strategy to enhance recovery outcomes. Preliminary data supporting the feasibility and efficacy of PVIT are also discussed to contextualize its application in clinical practice.
