Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1) survivors of cortical/subcortical ischemic stroke (2) age between 18 and 99 years; (3) first clinical stroke presentation or prior stroke with no residual deficits affecting ambulation; (4) ability to follow a two-step command; (5) Fugl-Meyer sensory score > 2; (6) clinically assessed to be suitable for gait training (ability to ambulate at least one step with a device/assistance); (7) height, 132–200 cm; (8) hip-knee joint distance, 33–48 cm; and (9) knee joint–foot distance, 33–48 cm.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: (1) cerebellar/brainstem stroke survivor; (2) body weight less than 135 kg; (3) uncontrolled hypertension (stage 2) with blood pressure >160/100 mmHg; (4) cardiopulmonary impairments affecting the ambulation test; (5) integumentary impairment, such as skin breakdown or bedsores around the suspension belt loading area; (6) significant and persistent mental illness; (7) a lower extremity fixed contracture or deformity; (8) bone instability (non-consolidated fractures, unstable spinal column, or severe osteoporosis necessitating treatment with bisphosphonates); (9) other neurodegenerative disorders (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease); (10) MAS score > 3 of the affected leg; (11) significant back or leg pain resulting in an inability to tolerate movement; (12) impaired sensory perception affecting the participant’s ability to distinguish whether the device is fitted correctly; and (13) aphasia, sufficient to prevent them from the ability to communicate discomfort.
