The purpose of this study is to investigate biomechanical changes in hemiparetic gait during high-speed treadmill walking with ankle assist in individuals with post-stroke hemiparesis. Specifically, the study observationally evaluates changes in propulsive force and walking speed associated with push-off assistance. The study aims to assess gait characteristics and does not evaluate therapeutic efficacy.
Safety,Efficacy
Exploratory
Change in maximum 10-meter walking speed
(From baseline [before session 1] to after session 10 and 1-week follow-up)

(Ratio of Session 10 to Session 1)
2.Peak values of anterior-posterior ground reaction force
(Paretic and non-paretic limbs measured during the last 10 seconds of each session)

Diagnosis
| Device,equipment |
Participants will perform a high-speed treadmill walking task with an ankle assist mechanism driven by artificial muscles that provide active push-off assistance.
The initial treadmill speed will be set at 0.2 m/s below the participant's maximum walking speed and will be increased within an individually tolerable range. Each session will consist of 3 trials of 10 s, and a total of 10 sessions will be conducted.
This task is conducted to evaluate changes in gait kinematics and kinetics associated with ankle assist.
Participants will perform high-speed treadmill walking without ankle assist. The treadmill speed and task volume will be identical to those of the assist condition. This condition is included solely for biomechanical comparison and does not represent a therapeutic control.
