There are many assistive walking devices. You'll have to ask your doctor what the results were for all the other ones. 3 posts on wallking assist, bet your doctor knows none of them.

Abstract: Study examined the effects of gait
training with the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) on walking ability by HAL
and determined the most effective improvement measure for use in future
large-scale trials. HAL is a wearable robot that interactively provides
motion according to the wearer’s voluntary activity. Sixteen first-ever
hemiplegic stroke patients completed at least 20 sessions over 5 weeks.
Per session, the experimental group received no more than 20 minutes of
gait training with HAL and 40 minutes of conventional physiotherapy,
whereas the control group received at least 60 minutes of conventional
physiotherapy. The primary outcome was maximum walking speed (MWS). The
HAL group had a significantly greater increase in MWS than the control
group during the intervention period. The change in MWS from baseline at
week 5 was 11.6 meters per minute for the HAL group and 2.2 meters per
minute for control subjects. In HAL subjects there were significant
increases in self-selected walking speed (SWS; a secondary outcome) and
in step length (a secondary outcome) at MWS and SWS compared with
controls. Training with HAL improved walking speed in hemiplegic
sub-acute stroke patients.

Use the labels in the right column to find what you want. Or you can go thru them one by one, there are only 29,112 posts. Searching is done in the search box in upper left corner. I blog on anything to do with stroke.DO NOT DO ANYTHING SUGGESTED HERE AS I AM NOT MEDICALLY TRAINED, YOUR DOCTOR IS, LISTEN TO THEM. BUT I BET THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET YOU 100% RECOVERED. I DON'T EITHER, BUT HAVE PLENTY OF QUESTIONS FOR YOUR DOCTOR TO ANSWER.
Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.
What this blog is for:
My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.
