Balance, Gait, and Falls Prevention

The possibility of regaining gait after stroke may be enhanced by using robotic-assisted walking training. Aim of the study is to provide information about which clinical and psychological features of patients with stroke in subacute phase may help to identify the best candidates who may benefit from robotic therapy affecting rehabilitation outcomes.
