Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. gait function during overground gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot)
2. the energy expenditure during treadmill gait in three conditions (with robot-assist torque on/with robot-assist torque off/without robot)

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
stroke patients
All participants perform overground walking and treadmill waking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot).
Ankle Assist Robot
1. overground walking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot). During overground walking, gait function was measured using motion analysis, sEMG, and force plate
2. treadmill waking in three conditions (with robot-torque on/with robot-torque off/without robot). During treadmill walking, the metabolic energy expenditure was measured using a portable cardiopulmonary metabolic system (Cosmed K4b², Rome, Italy).
