Abstract Objective: The goal of this study is to determine the efficacy of electromechanical exoskeleton-assisted gait training on rehabilitation functional outcomes in patients with stroke undergoing therapy in an in-patient rehabilitation facility. Background: Method: The investigators will study 50 patients with stroke consecutively admitted to a designated stroke rehabilitation unit in the Oklahoma City VA Medical Center. All patients will receive their daily 3-hours conventional therapy, plus an hour of either exoskeleton or over-ground gait training 3 times per week for 60 minutes. Pa…
