Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (1) Age 20-80 years; (2) first-ever hemiparetic stroke, excluding subarachnoid hemorrhage; (3) time since stroke onset up to six months; (4) Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) lower-limb motor score <= 22/34, indicating moderate to severe motor impairment; (5) ability to walk 10 m with or without assistive devices and at least minimal assistance (FAC >= 2); (6) comfortable walking speed < 0.6 m/s

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) unable to perform the assessment tasks due to severe dementia, aphasia, or visual impairment; (2) individuals with significant deformities of the lower limbs or spinal column; (3) individuals with a height outside the range of 140-190 cm or a weight outside the range of 35-100 kg, making it difficult to use the robotic device.
