Methods	RCT Method of randomisation: random number list Blinding of outcome assessors: yes Adverse events: not described Deaths: not described Dropouts: not described ITT: unknown
Participants	Country: Turkey 22 participants (11 in treatment group, 11 in control group) Ambulatory at start of study Mean age: 56 years in experimental group and 62 years in control group Inclusion criteria: adult male (> 18 years), ability to ambulate 10 metres without personal assistance, and not receiving any other physical therapy Exclusion criteria: body weight more than 300 pounds (135 kg), FAC score < 3 and not able to walk consistently or independently within the community, cognitive deficits, cardiac disease, spasticity of the lower limbs preventing robotic walking, traumatic stroke, intracranial space occupying lesion‐induced strokes, and seizures
Interventions	2 arms: Experimental group: robotic gait treatment (Lokomat), 30‐minute sessions, 5 sessions per week for 2 weeks Control group: the conventional exercise group received the equivalent additional time of conventional physiotherapy at home as determined by rehabilitation unit physiotherapists. Home exercise procedure focused on gait in order to raise awareness about trunk stability–symmetry and body weight support on the paretic leg. Sessions taken 5 days per week for 2 weeks included active and passive range of motion, active‐assistive exercises, strengthening of the paretic leg, and balance training
Outcomes	Outcomes were assessed at baseline and after 2 and 8 weeks: Walking speed Timed Up and Go Test
