NCT04309305
Brief Summary:
The current investigation takes advantage of both a progressive and adaptive assist-as-needed massed practice and time-sensitive neuroplasticity through exoskeleton assisted walking in order to induce greater recovery-oriented CNS plasticity and consequent gains in more independent walking.
Detailed Description:
The purpose of this research study is to assess whether using a wearable device, called the robotic exoskeleton (RE), can be helpful in improving recovery of walking in adults who have recently had a stroke. The study will compare the walking abilities of people who went through standard of care treatment after a stroke to those who used the robotic exoskeleton as part of their rehabilitation. This study will also look at the effects walking in the RE has on brain activity. The name of the robotic exoskeleton that is being used in this study is the EksoTM.
