The purpose of this study is to determine if intensive lower extremity robotic therapy can
improve gait speed and functional ambulation status in individuals 6 months or greater
post-stroke.
improve gait speed and functional ambulation status in individuals 6 months or greater
post-stroke.
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age or older
- First single focal unilateral lesion with diagnosis verified by brain imaging, which
occurred at least 6 months prior
- Cognitive function sufficient enough to understand experiments and follow instructions
- Some amount of independent ambulation (with orthoses or walker) and a gait speed of at
least 0.4m/s.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Botox treatment within 6-weeks of enrollment;
- Fixed contraction deformity in the affected limb;
- Complete and total flaccid paralysis of all lower extremity motor function;
- Unable to ambulate except with the aid of another person or ambulation speed of
<0.4m/s
