Who can take part
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 who had a stroke and can walk on their own, with or without aids, and can wear a walking exoskeleton.
- Age
- 18 years or older
- Sex
- All sexes
- Disease stage
- Stroke from a blocked vessel (ischemic) or from bleeding (hemorrhagic). Must be able to walk independently, even with aids or an orthosis (FAC>2).
Main reasons for not taking part
- Cannot give informed consent or understand the tasks
- Fixed contracture of the lower limbs that limits use of the exoskeleton
- Cannot walk independently (FAC<=2)
- Body size not adequate to wear the exoskeleton

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The study aims to identify neural biomarkers that can be used to monitor the recovery of locomotion and movement of post-stroke patients, both in natural settings and with enriched treatment using robotic device. These biomarkers could potentially be utilized in clinical practice to improve recovery outcomes. Additionally, the study seeks to investigate whether it is feasible to use these biomarkers to predict the extent of recovery that patients may achieve.
