Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Investigational group
All subjects will participate in study procedures involving use of the ReWalk ReStore device.
Device: ReWalk ReStore device
The ReWalk ReStore device is intended to be used to perform ambulatory functions in rehabilitation institutions under the supervision of a trained therapist for people with hemiplegia/hemiparesis due to stroke.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of device-related adverse events [Safety] [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]
    Safety will be evaluated on the basis of the number of device-related adverse events reported for subjects during their participation in the study.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of device malfunctions during study procedures [Device Reliability] [ Time Frame: duration of study completion for each site, estimated 4 months ]
    Device reliability will be evaluated on the basis of the number of device malfunctions reported by research study staff for the duration of study procedures at each study site.

  2. Incidence of injury to physical therapist caused by device [PT safety] [ Time Frame: duration of study completion for each site, estimated 4 months ]
    PT safety will be evaluated on the basis of the number of device-related injuries reported by study physical therapists for the duration of study procedures at each study site.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Gait speed measured with 10 Meter Walk Test [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]
    Subjects will perform a 10 Meter Walk Test to evaluate walking speed with and without the ReStore device.

  2. Gait analysis using a gait mat [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]
    Subjects will walk across a gait mat device (such as GAITRite) which records step timing and step placement in order to evaluate their walking with and without the ReStore device.

  3. Walking distance measured with 2 Minute Walk Test [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]
    Subjects will perform a 2 Minute Walk Test (2MWT) to evaluate the 2 minute walking distance with the ReStore device in Slack, Assist, and Brace modes

  4. Modified QUEST questionnaire [subject satisfaction] [ Time Frame: duration of study participation for each subject, estimated 4 weeks ]
    Subjects will complete a modified QUEST questionnaire (Quebec User Evaluation of Assistive Technology) to indicate their level of satisfaction with the ReStore device (on a scale from 1 to 5) in 8 different categories.

  5. Physical Therapist satisfaction questionnaire [PT satisfaction] [ Time Frame: duration of study completion for each site, estimated 4 months ]
    Physical Therapists involved in the study will complete a PT satisfaction questionnaire at the end of the study to indicate their level of satisfaction (on a scale from 1 to 5) with the ReStore device in 9 different categories.
