So no testing of exosuits here, just a lazy literature review. Not even the hint of creating a protocol for use and recovery of walking. I blame the mentors and senior researchers for such lazy crapola. Hope you are OK with not recovering when you are the 1 in 4 per WHO that has a stroke.
Robotic exosuit to improve walking and gait rehabilitation for stroke survivors: A review

Stroke
survivors are typically having locomotion impairments that cause the
gait asymmetry and mobility deterioration. The major contributors to
this condition are impaired paretic leg and muscle weakness. Researchers
put their attention and interest on the rapid development of robotic
exosuit and its technology. Such as the actuator becomes more
lightweight, using multi-sensors for human and robot interface and
controller, a neural or adaptive oscillator for human-machine
synchronization and cognitive function in the control of gait and fall
prevention. This review paper aims to provide and explain the
development of robotic exosuit assistive strategies and technologies
that comprise of actuator, sensor as a controller, muscle activity,
human-machine interface, and control strategy. The review will focused
on the robotic exosuit with purpose to improve walking and gait
rehabilitation without the augmentation apparatus for heavy tasks.
