Effects of unilateral robotic limb loading on gait characteristics in subjects with chronic stroke

Background Hemiparesis after stroke often leads to impaired ankle motor control that impacts gait function. In recent studies, robotic devices have been developed to address this impairment. While capable of imparting forces to assist during training and gait, these devices add mass to the paretic l...
