This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new approach to help people who have had a stroke improve their walking balance and stability. Researchers have developed a cable-driven robotic system that creates challenges to your balance while you walk on a treadmill, helping your body learn to control balance better. The goal is to see if this training method works and whether it's safe to combine with regular high-intensity walking exercises.
People who have had a stroke often struggle with walking balance for years afterward, and current balance training methods may not be as effective as they could be. This trial exists because researchers believe that a training method designed to help your brain learn to predict and control balance (rather than just react to unexpected challenges) could lead to longer-lasting improvements.

If you join this study, you will come in for testing sessions where researchers will measure how you walk and balance using special sensors and equipment. You'll walk on a treadmill in different conditions: a normal environment, and two special environments designed to challenge your balance—one using the robotic device and one using unpredictable sideways pushes. The study will also monitor your heart rate during walking to make sure the training is safe and appropriate for your fitness level.
