Lokomat exoskeleton versus C‑Mill treadmill for improving walking after stroke

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This single‑center comparison enrolls adults with ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke who can consent and are eligible for robotic gait therapy. Participants receive a course of gait rehabilitation using either the Lokomat exoskeleton or the C‑Mill treadmill and are monitored in the neurorehabilitation clinic. Outcomes include objective gait measures (speed, balance), spasticity, and patient-reported quality of life measured before and after the intervention. Patients with major cognitive deficits, other neurologic disorders, or musculoskeletal problems that prevent safe device use are excluded.
