Robot walking training: free pelvis may help stroke survivors walk better

This study tests whether allowing the pelvis to move freely during robot-assisted walking training helps stroke survivors walk better, improve balance, and reduce fear of falling. About 36 adults who had a stroke at least 6 months ago will receive either pelvic-free or pelvic-restricted robot training plus standard therapy for 4 weeks. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery of natural walking patterns.
