Summary
This study tested a robotic body-weight support system (ZeroG) that helps stroke survivors practice walking and balancing without fear of falling. Some participants also received gentle pushes (perturbations) to challenge their balance during therapy. The goal was to see if adding these challenges leads to greater improvements in balance and walking compared to using the support system alone. The study included 114 adults in inpatient rehab after a stroke.
