Summary

This study tested a new walking therapy for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago. A robotic device was used to amplify the person's own leg movements during walking, aiming to improve balance. 33 participants completed the training, and researchers measured changes in walking speed, balance, and daily stepping activity.
