Summary

This study compares three different robotic exoskeletons to see which one helps stroke survivors walk better. Researchers will enroll 96 people who had a stroke 3 to 8 months ago and have weakness on one side. Participants will use the devices during gait training, and the goal is to find the best match for each patient's needs.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Robotic exoskeleton (EksoNR, Atalante X, or ReStore)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could help doctors choose the right robotic exoskeleton for each stroke patient, improving walking recovery and quality of life.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage study with only 96 participants. Results may not apply to all stroke survivors, and the devices may not work for everyone.
