ALL

Age

18 Years - 85 Years

Healthy Volunteers

Not accepted

Interventions

• Robotic Gait Training — DEVICE
  Participants will complete standing and walking activities while wearing a robotic exoskeleton. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires about their walking and function.
• Usual Care Gait Training — OTHER
  Participants will complete standing and walking activities such as body weight-supported treadmill training and conventional overground walking. Participants will also be asked to complete questionnaires about their walking and function.

Study Details

The ERA Stroke project will compare the effects of robotic gait training (RGT) and usual care (UC) gait training in patients in the subacute phase of stroke recovery undergoing inpatient rehabilitation at the Baylor Scott \& White Institute for Rehabilitation (BSWIR).

Arms

• Experimental: Robotic Gait Training
  Participants will receive robotic gait training with a physical therapist for 90 minutes each week throughout the course of their inpatient rehabilitation stay.
• Active Comparator: Usual Care Gait Training
  Participants will receive usual care gait training with a physical therapist for 90 minutes each week throughout the course of their inpatient rehabilitation stay.

Primary Outcome Measure

Gait speed via 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) [ Time Frame: within 7 days of admission to inpatient rehabilitation, within 7 days of discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, 1 month (±14 days) after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation, 3 months (±14 days) after discharge from inpatient rehabilitation ]
