Robot training with foot pressure feedback shows promise for stroke recovery

This study looks at whether adding foot pressure feedback to robot-assisted walking training helps people who have had a stroke walk more evenly and improve their balance. About 26 adults with chronic hemiplegia (weakness on one side) will take part. They will use a robot for walking practice three times a week for four weeks, with some getting extra feedback on how their feet press the ground. The goal is to see if this extra feedback leads to better walking symmetry and balance.
