Summary

This study tests a wearable rehabilitation robot designed for stroke survivors with severe leg paralysis. The robot guides patients through motor relearning and passive stretching exercises while they are still in bed during the early acute phase after a stroke. The goal is to see if this early, intensive therapy can improve leg function and promote brain recovery.
