Abstract: Study evaluated the feasibility of using the Kickstart Walk Assist system in stroke survivors who were in the subacute and chronic stages of the disease and attending an inpatient rehabilitation center. Kickstart is a passive exoskeleton device with an exotendon that runs parallel to the lateral side of the leg and goes through pulleys over the hip, knee, and ankle joints. Thirty stroke survivors experienced walking with the Kickstart exoskeleton device that provided spring-loaded assistance during gait. After 5 days of wearing the exoskeleton, participants were evaluated wearing and not wearing the exoskeleton. Outcome measures included: (1) spatiotemporal gait measures, (2) balance measures and (3) exoskeleton-use feedback questionnaire. In comparison to not wearing the device, when participants wore the Kickstart walking system, weight bearing asymmetry was reduced. The time spent on the 10-Meter Walk Test was also reduced, but there was no difference in the Timed Up and Go test. Gait analysis data showed reduction in step time and double support time. Stroke survivors were positive about the Kickstart walking system’s ability to improve their balance, speed, and gait. In addition, their confidence level and willingness to use the device was positive. These findings show the feasibility of using the Kickstart walking system for improving walking performance in stroke survivors.
