Study Summary

This trial will compare the effects of two different types of therapy on walking ability in people who have had a stroke.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for stroke patients who have hemiparesis, which means weakness on one side of their body. They should be within 6 months post-stroke and able to walk a short distance with a device but without help from others. Participants must not be receiving other lower limb therapies and can follow the study's instructions.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing if walking therapy using robotic-assisted treadmills helps improve walking better than standard physical therapy in people who have had a stroke and are experiencing hemiparesis.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While the document doesn't list specific side effects, robotic-assisted treadmill training may cause muscle soreness or fatigue due to exercise. There could also be risks associated with falls or discomfort from using the equipment.
