Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale	Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale could be 1 (none), 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 (excellent). Excellent (6): If the patient participated in all exercises or activities with maximal effort, finished all exercises or activities, and actively took interest in exercises or activities and/or future therapy sessions. None (1): patient refused entire session, or did not participate in any exercises or activities in session. In this study, a participant typically gets 12 sessions of robot assisted gait training. Just after the each session, Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale is assigned as 1 to 6. For example, in a virtual case, the participant gets the score of 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, and 6 (median =3.5). the participant gets 12 numbers of outcome score and median of Pittsburgh Rehabilitation Participation Scale.	through study completion, an average of 3 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
modified Barthel Index	Modified Barthel Index measures basic activities of daily life. Lowest score is zero and means no function. Highiest score is 100, best function.	baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
10m walk		baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Borg scale	Borg scale measures perceived exertion during the test. It ranges 13 to 20. 13 means easy. 20 means hardest.	baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
6 min walk		baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
motricity index		baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Berg balance scale	Berg balance scale is the combination of 16 5-point-Likert-scale-like ordinal scale of 0 to 4. O means no balance. 56 means the maximal balance as the criteria.	baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Trunk impairment scale	Scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 23. Zero means no balance. 23 means maximal balance and trunk function.	baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Function in sitting test		baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Modified Rankin Scale for Neurologic Disability	Modified Rankin Scale for Neurologic Disability could be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. Zero (0) means no negative symptoms et al as the criteria. 6 means means dead condition (death) as the criteria.	baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Functional Ambulatory Category		baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Timed Timed Up and Go test		baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
Manual Muscle Testing		baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
modified Ashworth scale	Modified Ashworth scale could be 0, 1, 1+, 2, 3, or 4. Zero (0) means no spasticity as the criteria. 4 means means maximal spasticity as the criteria.	baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale	0 to 24 points. Zero (0) means no deficits as the criteria. 24 means means maximal deficits as the criteria.	baseline and 4 weeks from baseline
