In the researchers' words
The proposed study aims to optimize patient outcomes and treatment intervention using a robotic exoskeleton in adults with cerebrovascular accidents (CVA, stroke) by investigating the following: AIM 1 is to investigate the effect of backward gait training with exoskeleton on motor function. AIM 2 is to investigate the effect of backward gait training with exoskeleton on depression. AIM 3 is to investigate the impact of social determinants of health and depression on patient adherence to physical therapy.
