Summary

This study tested a 12-week walking program for 140 chronic stroke survivors. The program combined robotic-assisted walking with regular walking exercises. The goal was to improve walking ability, help with weight management, and lower blood pressure. Researchers wanted to find the best way to sequence these therapies for better overall health.
