Inclusion criteria: 1. Non-acute stroke patients with gait disturbance due to stroke who can give written consent in person. Suppose the research subject has sufficient capacity to consent but has difficulty writing due to paralysis.

Patients who are at least 18 years of age at the time consent is obtained 3. Patients who have had the first stroke for at least four weeks. 4. Patients who are unable to safely walk 10 m independently without a cane, walker or other aid and without holding on due to gait disturbance caused by stroke and who can walk at least 10 m with light assistance or by holding on or using a cane, walker or mobile hoist (lower limb prosthetic devices may be used when necessary). 5. Patients weighing 40 and 100 kg are within 150-190 cm in height and can be fitted with a HAL lower limb type for independence. However, even if the measurement is outside this range, patients should be able to be fitted if their body size, such as thigh length, lower leg length, and waist width, is appropriate. 6. Patients who can make either outpatient visits or hospital admissions per the study schedule during the study period.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patients deemed difficult to perform gait training or assessment due to dyspnoea on exertion, heart failure, arrhythmia, and myocardial infarction. 2.

Patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee, poorly controlled rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and osteoarthritis of the skeletal system, such as scoliosis and scoliosis, who are considered to have severe deformities that make gait training difficult or worsen with gait training. 4.
