Inclusion Criteria

  • Weight 250 pounds or less
  • History of one sided ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke with resultant hemiparesis
  • Manual Muscle Test (MMT) 4/5 in at least upper extremity
  • No restrictions on time since stroke (acuity), but all subjects need to be cleared by MD for locomotor training
  • No other brain abnormalities or neurological diseases/disorders
  • Has not been diagnosed with more than one stroke
  • Passive range of motion (PROM) at shoulders, trunk, hips, knees and ankles within functional limits for safe gait
  • Skin intact where interfaces with Indego device
  • Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) for spasticity 3 or less in the lower extremities
  • Absence of complicating physical or mental conditions as determined by MD that would preclude the individual from safely participating in gait training
  • Must be able to follow directions and communicate basic needs, demonstrated by a Mini- Mental State Exam (MMSE) score of 18 or greater

Exclusion Criteria

  • Failure to meet all inclusion criteria
