Abstract

INTRODUCTION: High-intensity gait training is widely recognized as an effective rehabilitation approach after stroke. Soft robotic exosuits that enhance post-stroke gait mechanics have the potential to improve the rehabilitative outcomes achieved by high-intensity gait training. The objective of this development-of-concept pilot crossover study was to evaluate the outcomes achieved by high-intensity gait training with versus without soft robotic exosuits.
