In the researchers' words
The primary objective of the study is to investigate the energy consumption, cardiorespiratory load and perceived exertion, and how these parameters change, during walking with robot-assistance compared to walking on a treadmill and walking overground in stroke patients. A secondary objective is to investigate whether these changes or differences in energy consumption, cardiorespiratory load and perceived exertion during walking with and without robot-assistance in stroke patients are related to changes or differences spatiotemporal gait characteristics.
