Summary
This study tests whether a powered exoskeleton can help stroke survivors walk with better balance. Twenty-one people who had a stroke at least six months ago will walk on a treadmill with and without the exoskeleton at different support levels. Researchers will measure how well the device helps control side-to-side sway and step placement.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a wearable device that helps stroke survivors walk more steadily and safely.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early-stage study (21 people) testing different settings, not a final product. It may not lead to a practical device or show clear benefit.
