About this trial

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of robot-assisted gait training on quadriceps muscle thickness, balance and gait parameters in individuals with chronic stroke.

For these purposes:-Improving gait and balance functions of patients with chronic stroke,-Increasing functional independence in daily life with walking trainings-Increase lower extremity muscle thickness with walking training, To investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training on quadriceps muscle thickness, balance and gait parameters in individuals with chronic stroke.-It is aimed to contribute to the literature in this field by transforming the results to be obtained as a result of the study into a scientific publication
