Stroke subject will perform a gait training program in LOPES of 3 sessions per
week (maximal 45 minutes per session), for a total of 6 weeks. Two training
modes will be used, which will be randomize

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameters are 1) quality of walking, measured during gait analysis, and 2) ability of walking, measured during various clinical tests. Furthermore, a neurobiomechanical analysis is performed, to measure joint torque patterns, and the adaptation capability is measured by sensors in LOPES. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
