Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Adults aged 19 years or older
* Patients with hemiparesis due to ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke
* Patients in the late subacute or chronic phase, at least 3 months after the onset of stroke
* Individuals who can independently walk with a Functional Ambulatory Category score of 3 or higher
* Patients who are able to use Torque-Assisted Exoskeletal Wearable Device Height: 140 cm to 190 cm Weight: 80 kg or less Shoe size: 230 mm to 290 mm
* Patients who were independent walkers and had no difficulties performing activities of daily living (mRS ≤ 1)

Exclusion Criteria

* Patients with severe cognitive impairment (MMSE \<10) or significant communication difficulties such as speech disorders
* Patients with spasticity in one-sided lower limbs, rated 2 or higher on the Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS)
* Patients with severe musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limbs
* Patients with contractures that limit the range of motion in the lower limbs
* Patients with an apparent leg length discrepancy of 2 cm or more
* Patients with fractures, open trauma, or non-healing ulcers in the lower limbs
* Patients with serious internal diseases such as cardiovascular disease or pulmonary disease that make it difficult to use Exoskeletal Wearable Device for walking therapy
* Patients with a history of osteoporotic fractures
* Patients with other neurological disorders affecting walking (e.g., Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, etc.)
* Any other cases where the investigator determines that participation in this study is inappropriate
