Summary

This study tested a personalized walking and balance training program using a KineAssist robotic treadmill for people recovering from traumatic brain injury, stroke, or other acquired brain injuries. The goal was to safely challenge and improve walking speed, balance, strength, and endurance. Only 5 participants were enrolled before the study was terminated, so the results are not conclusive.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: KineAssist robotic treadmill
What this could lead to: If successful, this program could offer a new way to help people with brain injuries improve their walking and balance during rehab.
What could go wrong: The trial was terminated early with only 5 participants, so results are very limited. It is unclear if the program works better than standard care.
