An Active Pelvis Orthosis (APO) for Post-stroke Gait Rehabilitation: a Pilot Study

"Subjects will take part in 14 experimental sessions: two baseline sessions (T1-T2), three familiarization sessions (F1-F3), six training sessions (E1-E6), two assessment sessions (one pre-training T3 and one post training T4) and one 2-month follow-up session (T5). Depending on the session, the subject will walk with and/or without the APO. During the assessment sessions (T3-T4), the subject will be evaluated through different standard tests (such as 10MWTs and 2mWTs) and instrumented gait analysis, with and without the APO.~The goal of each training session (E1-E6) will be to achieve a minimum of 30 minutes of overground walking assisted by the APO, leaving up to 15 minutes to rest if needed. Training sessions will occur 2-3 times a week for 2-3 weeks to complete the training protocol."
