About this trial

Post-stroke patients were required to complete a session of robot-assisted training, which involved nine repetitions of 5-meter overground walking (three trials for each of the three controllers) in a rectangular hospital corridor.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Change in 10 Meter Walk Test from baseline gait speed

Gait speed will be assessed by instructing participants to walk at their maximum safe speed. Each participant will start 1 meter before the designated start line and continue walking until 1 meter past the finish line. The time taken to traverse the measured distance will be recorded using a stopwatch to the nearest one hundredth of a second.

Time frame
Baseline, immediately after intervention

Secondary outcomes

Change scores of Lower Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-LE)

The Lower Extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA-LE) is a validated, performance-based scale used to evaluate motor function, reflexes, coordination, and movement synergy of the lower limb in stroke patients. The FMA-LE consists of 17 items, each scored on a 3-point ordinal scale (0 = cannot perform, 1 = performs partially, 2 = performs fully), with a total possible score ranging from 0 to 34. Higher scores indicate better lower limb motor function. Assessments will be performed by trained evaluators according to standardized procedures.
