AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults aged 18 to 75 who had a stroke at least 3 months ago. They must be medically stable and able to walk 10 meters on their own.
- Age
- 18 to 75 years
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Stroke that happened at least 3 months ago, with weakened leg movement but some muscle activity left in the legs.
- Earlier treatment
- People currently receiving other rehabilitation or experimental treatments cannot join.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Severe memory or thinking problems that prevent following the treatment plan
- Severe balance or coordination problems
- Other serious movement problems, such as abnormal muscle tone or ataxia
- Active heart or blood vessel disease or other serious illness
- Leg fractures, serious bone problems, or skin ulcers and infections
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 15 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Stroke patients aged between 18 and 75 years. Patients who are medically stable and able to stand and walk independently for at least 10 meters during rehabilitation
- Stroke event occurred at least 3 months ago Patients with impaired lower limb motor function but with some degree of muscle activity in the lower extremities
- Patients without severe cognitive impairment and capable of understanding and following the treatment protocol
- Patients without severe balance or coordination disorders, able to maintain balance and perform gait training with assistive devices
- Patients without lower limb fractures or other serious skeletal issues affecting the lower limbs
- Patients without severe cardiovascular or other serious illnesses and able to tolerate the intensity and duration of rehabilitation therapy
- Patients willing to participate in the study and able to provide written informed consent
Who cannot take part
- Lower limb fractures or other serious skeletal issues that may impact the suitability and safety of robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy
- Patients currently receiving other rehabilitation or experimental treatments. Patients with skin ulcers, infections, or other severe skin conditions that may interfere with the use and application of robotic devices
- Unexplained discomfort or pain symptoms that may limit the patient's ability to participate in rehabilitation therapy
- Severe cognitive impairment that prevents the patient from understanding or complying with the treatment protocol
- Severe balance or coordination disorders that prevent the patient from maintaining balance and participating in gait training, even with assistive devices
- Other serious motor disorders, such as abnormal muscle tone or ataxia, which may interfere with the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy
- Active cardiovascular disease or other serious systemic illnesses that may affect the patient's safety or treatment outcomes
- Failure to meet other specific inclusion criteria outlined in the study protocol

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Post-stroke patients were required to complete a session of robot-assisted training, which involved nine repetitions of 5-meter overground walking (three trials for each of the three controllers) in a rectangular hospital corridor.
The group in the trial
- Robot gait training groupTreatment being tested
During this study, we will explore which control strategy: Aware Hip Knee Coupling Control (AHKC), Passive control (PC), or fixed compliance control (FCC) may be optimal for post-stroke subjects
Treatment: Robot-assisted overground gait training
Questions to ask the study team
- How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
- Are travel costs paid?
- Can I keep my own doctor?
- What happens if I want to stop?
