Robot-Assisted Training Versus Standard Training in Ischemic Stroke
The aim of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) nested in a prospective cohort, is to investigate the superior effect of late-phase robot-assisted versus standard training on motor function, physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in a moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke population following subacute rehabilitation.

The main hypothesis of the study is:

Robot-assisted training has a superior effect on motor function (Fugl-Meyer Lower Extremity Assessment; primary outcome), physical function, fatigue, and quality of life in moderately-to-severely impaired chronic stroke-affected individuals in comparison to standard training.
- EligibilityCriteria: Inclusion:  Ischemic apoplexia. Chronic state (>6 months post-stroke). Subacute rehabilitation terminated (subacute phase defined as until 6 months post-stroke).  Moderately-severely impaired:  Modified Rankin Scale Score 3-5. Scandinavian Stroke Scale Leg Motor Function Score 0-4. Approved by referring doctor  Exclusion:  Prior stroke, TIA, SAH Severe fatigue making study completion improbable. Cognitive deficits impeding study participation. Inability to walk independently pre-stroke. Recurrence of cardiovascular/cerebrovascular accidents. Pre-existing neurological diseases or ongoing cancer treatment. Refusing group allocation. Concurrent participation in another clinical trial potentially interacting with the present trial. - HealthyVolunteers: No - Gender: All - MinimumAge: 18 Years - StdAgeList: Adult, Older Adult
