Brief summary
Comparison of the experimental group that applied the speed of the robot-assisted gait training constantly and the control group that applied the gradual increase of the speed of the robot-assisted gait training.
Interventions
OTHERConstant gait speed group
The speed of the robot-assisted gait treatment is constantly applied for 5 times a week for 2 weeks.
OTHERIncreasing gait speed group
The speed of the robot-assisted gait treatment is gradually increase for 5 times a week for 2 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Energy expenditure (EE) | 2 weeks after baseline | EE(kcal/min): energy expenditure per minute |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Heart rate (HR) | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | Cardiac frequency |
| Volume of Oxygen (VO2) | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | O2 consumption/1min |
| Respiratory Quotient (R) | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | Respiratory quotient |
| Metabolic equivalent (METS) | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | the amount of oxygen consumed while sitting at rest and is equal to 3.5 ml O2 per kg body weight x min |
| oxygenated hemoglobin (OxyHb) | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | oxygenated hemoglobin concentration of cortical activation |
| Energy expenditure (EE) | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | EE(kcal/min): energy expenditure per minute |
| Lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | Fugl-Meyer Assessment uses to examine the motor function and coordination of affected lower extremity. It includes 17 items of a 3-point ordinal scale, ranging 0-34, with higher scores indicating lower impairment. |
| Functional Ambulation Category | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | Functional Ambulation Category is used to assess gait ability with 6 levels ranging from 0 to 5 on the basis of the amount of physical support required, regardless of use of an assistive device |
| 10m walk test | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | 10m walk test is used to examine gait speed, in which participant was asked to walk on a 14 meter of walkway wearing harness with two conditions; with the fastest speed or with self-selected comfortable speed. |
| timed up and go test | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance |
| deoxygenated hemoglobin (DeoxyHb) | baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline | deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration of cortical activation |
