Results

Gait speed was significantly increased at after the intervention and 1-month follow-up compared with before the intervention in the GEAR group. Also, mean changes in TUG and 6-min walk were significantly greater in the GEAR group than in the treadmill group when comparing before with after the intervention.The GRC scale scores were significantly higher after the intervention, at a 1-month and 3-month follow-up assessment than that before the intervention in the GEAR group.

Baseline Characteristics

GEAR group (n=8, Age: 66.1 (9.6) years, Sex: male 6, female 2, Side of paresis: left 4, right 4, Type of stroke: infarction 1, hemorrhage 7, Time after stroke: 8.0 (5.1) years, Stroke Impairment Assessment Set total lower limb motor score: 8.8 (2.5) scores, Ankle foot orthosis: 8, Assistive device: 6, Mini Mental State Examination: 28.5 (1.9) scores). Treadmill group (n=11, Age: 65.0 (7.7) years, Sex: male 9, female 2, Side of paresis: left 3, right 8, Type of stroke: infarction 4, hemorrhage 7, Time after stroke: 7.1 (4.1) years, Stroke Impairment Assessment Set total lower limb motor score: 8.1 (2.6) scores, Ankle foot orthosis: 7, Assistive device:9, Mini Mental State Examination: 28.5 (1.3) scores).

Participant flow

During the intervention period, one subject was dropped from the GEAR group after the intervention for personal reasons. Additionally, one subject in the GEAR group experienced uncontrolled arrhythmia between the 1-month and 3-month follow-up visits.

Adverse events

No adverse effects were identified for both GEAR and Treadmill intervention.

Outcome measures

All outcome measures were assessed before and after the intervention, at 1-month, and 3-month follow-up assessment. Outcome measures included 10-m walk test (gait parameters), Timed Up and Go (TUG)test, 6-min walk test and Global Rating ofChange (GRC) scales.
