Summary

This trial aims to test a robot called Morning Walk® to help adults recover from stroke by improving their walking patterns. The robot has been approved by the FDA for safety and effectiveness.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who have an uneven walking pattern due to a stroke (hemiparesis) and also includes healthy individuals. Participants should be able to follow the study procedures. People with other medical conditions that could interfere with their participation or those who can't use the Morning Walk® robot are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well the Morning Walk® rehabilitation robot helps improve symmetrical walking in people affected by stroke compared to healthy individuals. The device has been cleared by the FDA, ensuring it's safe and potentially effective for this purpose.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves a physical therapy device rather than medication, side effects may include muscle soreness, fatigue, or discomfort from using the equipment.
