Robot trainer with foot sensors may help stroke survivors walk more evenly

This study looks at whether adding foot pressure feedback to robot-assisted walking training helps people who have had a stroke walk more symmetrically and with better balance. About 26 adults with chronic hemiplegia (weakness on one side) will use a Lokomat robot for 30-minute sessions, three times a week for four weeks. One group gets standard robot training, while the other also sees a summary of their foot pressure after each session. The goal is to see if the extra feedback leads to bigger improvements in walking and balance.
