- I have not been hospitalized for a severe condition in the last 3 months.My blood pressure is too high for physical therapy (over 160/100 twice).I am in the recovery phase of a stroke, with weakness in my leg causing foot-drop.I am 18 years old or older.You have trouble speaking or understanding and following simple instructions.I have a muscle or nerve condition that affects my ability to walk.I have a noticeable limp due to weakness on one side.I have had recent serious heart issues or heart failure.
- Group 1: X-PTR, Cross over group for Physical Therapy n Sub-Acute group.
- Group 2: C-PTR, Chronic Stroke Subjects to receive robotic gait training therapy.
- Group 3: PTR (Physical Therapy while wearing Robot group) (Phase II)
- Group 4: PT (Physical Therapy Only) (Phase II)
- No Placebo-Only Group - All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.
- Screening: It may take up to 3 Weeks to process to see if you qualify in this trial.
- Treatment: The duration you will receive the treatment varies.
- Follow Ups: You may be asked to continue sharing information regarding the trial for 6 Months after you stop receiving the treatment.
