Summary

This trial is testing whether using a wearable robotic device (exoskeleton) during stair climbing training can help people who have recently had a stroke improve their ability to walk and climb stairs. The exoskeleton gives extra support and strength to the legs, making movement easier. Wearable exoskeletons are a relatively new technology that have shown promise in improving walking speed, balance, and overall mobility in post-stroke rehabilitation.
