Summary
This study tests a new robotic walking trainer called Rise&Walk InHome that stroke survivors can use at home. Twenty adults who had a stroke 3 months to 5 years ago will either use the device for 30 minutes, 4 times a week plus usual care, or just usual care. The goal is to see if the device is safe, easy to use, and helps improve walking distance and speed.
