About this trial
Stroke frequently leads to balance impairment and gait dysfunction, increasing fall risk and limiting functional independence. Technology-assisted rehabilitation approaches such as robot-assisted gait training and visual feedback balance training have been shown to improve balance and mobility in stroke patients.
This randomized, assessor-blinded clinical trial aims to compare the effects of robot-assisted gait training and visual feedback balance training on balance and gait outcomes in patients with subacute and chronic stroke. Both interventions are part of routine clinical rehabilitation practice. Participants will be evaluated at baseline and after 4 weeks of intervention using clinical balance, gait, and functional assessments.
