Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - stroke/ cerebrovascular events (ICD I60-67) - subacute (3 weeks – 6 months post stroke) - initial non-walking patients (FAC = 2 and walking capacity = 10m) - written consent to participate in the study by the patient or his/her caregiver - body height 140-200 cm, body weight = 140 kg

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Neurological diagnoses other than stroke - Acute (6 months post stroke) - Initial restricted walking or walking patients (FAC > 2 and walking capacity > 10m) - Age < 18 years - Vegetative cardiovascular instability (lack of resilience of the cardiovascular system with the risk of decompensation) - Relevant orthopaedic comorbidities or musculoskeletal impairments of the lower extremities affecting the ability to walk and stand - Psychological diseases (anxiety disorders, dementia, delirium) - Open skin areas on paddings or straps - Cognitive, visual and linguistic impairments that obstruct the understanding of the therapist's instructions or the adequate execution of the therapy

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Walking ability with the FAC (Functional Ambulation Categories) at baseline and after the three-week intervention phase Feasibility based on the drop-out rate and frequency of side effects of mild, moderate and severe over the study period from February to June 2020

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Walking capacity with the 6-minutes walking test measured at baseline and after the three-week intervention phase Walking velocity with the 6-meter walking test measured at baseline and after the three-week intervention phase Muscle strength with the Motricity Index for lower extremities measured at baseline and after the three-week intervention phase
