Methods	RCT, cross‐over Method of randomisation: not stated Blinding of outcome assessors: not stated Adverse events: not stated Deaths: not stated Dropouts: not stated ITT: not stated
Participants	Country: Korea 20 participants (13 in treatment group, 7 in control group) Not ambulatory at start of study Mean age: 55 years in control and treatment group Inclusion criteria: onset period of > 6 months, FAC < 2, independent ambulation before stroke, ability to understand and execute RAGT, no orthopaedic or neurosurgical problems in the lower extremities Exclusion criteria: weight > 120 kg; femoral length < 35 cm or > 47 cm; history of low‐extremity fracture after stroke, instability or subluxation of the hip joint, or pressure ulcers on the hips or lower extremities; any underlying disease preventing execution of RAGT
Interventions	2 arms: Experimental group: robot‐assisted gait training (Lokomat) 3 times per week, 4 weeks (30 minutes/day) and conventional physical therapy 5 times per week, 8 weeks (30 minutes/day) Control group: conventional physical therapy 5 times per week, 8 weeks (30 minutes/day)
Outcomes	Outcomes were recorded at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks: Primary outcome measures: balance (Berg Balance Scale, Modified Functional Reach Test) Secondary outcome measures: walking ability (FAC), motor function (Modified Ashworth Scale, Fugl‐Meyer Assessment of Lower Extremity, Motricity Index), activities of daily living (Modified Barthel Index)
Notes	Higher dose of intervention in experimental group compared to control group; group differences at baseline (modified forward reach)
