A statistically significant change in 10MWT, 6 MWT, TUG, and FAC scores was observed with robotic training. Average gait speed increased from 0.54 m/s at baseline to 0.65 m/s, and the distance covered in 6 min increased from 166 to 203 m following training. The mean improvements in speed and endurance were 0.15 m/s and 37 m, respectively, this is higher than the MCID in chronic stroke patients (0.14 m/s for velocity, 34.5 m for 6MWT) [Literature reports mixed observations regarding walking speed in chronic stroke patients before and after body-weight supported robotic treadmill training [A recent review reported that exoskeleton overground gait training is analogous to conventional training for chronic stroke patients [
